He was only fifty-fou- r. years old and seemed in normal health. Drinkwater's historical plays were widely known in the United States, Abraham Lincoln, particularly and Robert E. Lee." He had just completed a motion picture for the coronation of King George VI of which he was both author and producer.

It was a Living Costs ' everyone. It was a condition that developed an unusual emotion. There followed, naturally, a wave that engulfed hundreds of thousands of people who felt that they were being subjected to high prices that were unjustified. Most people will remember how "H. C. L. became an expression as common and one that figured in as many puns and jokes and wise cracks as the alphabetical agencies common now to the New DeaL' It was a type of propaganda that came long spontaneously because the condition affected so many people. The reason I have recalled that circumstance is because we are again headed straight into another era of H. C. L. We have not reached the top of living costs by any means. It takes more than a fortune teller or crystal gazer to predict what is going to happen in the way of increased commodity prices. Suffice it to say, however, that a vicious cycle has started whirling and in the midst of the situation stands a very confused consumer, representative of all of the people in the United States. There undoubtedly will be an increase in the propaganda concerning living costs again. Indeed, there propaalready is a rather ganda which results from the increased cost of living but it is directed rather on a slant and not pointed accurately into the heart of the condition now confronting us. Undoubtedly a great many people have not thought of the frequent and recurring attacks on business and business practices as having anything to do with the increased living costs. But the truth is that this type of propaganda springs directly from the sporadic cries that are coming from many localities about the higher prices complaints that the dollar does not go very far in buying food across the grocery counter. It seems to me that it is time for some calm thinking about this situation. It seems to me further that public officials everywhere ought to be honest enough to analyze the situation and tell the public what the real causes are. If this is not done, there again will be undoubtedly a perfect deluge of propaganda in protest against high living costs and the bulk of the people who suffer from these increased costs will not know the reason any more than they understood the reasons that 'brought about a counterpart of the present outlook back in 1918 and 1919. bers. The results of this combination of factors and circumstances now are showing. Considered from any angle, one can not fail to see why they constitute a cycle of events that lead to higher prices. When the dollar was cheaper by devaluation, more dQllars were required to feed a family than had been required before. Workers felt this sting. They demanded more dollars in pay for their work. Pressure from the New Deal administration together with labors use of the strike weapon forced business to pay higher wages. But, jusiness must live. It can not live unless it gets back its costs of production. Agriculture can not subsist unless it receives a reasonable price1 for its production. Neither agriculture nor industry will go ahead unless there is a reward in the shape of a profit Consequently, neither agriculture nor industry is going to absorb these increased costs alone. The natural and the only way it has to get back those expenditures is by charging higher prices to the buyers of those products. Thus, we have the complete cycle and the consumer, as usual, is the goat. The consumer pays and if that consumer be not in a position to enforce a higher return for the services he renders, he is caught between the upper and nether millstones. It appears that the consumer is fast getting himself into the grip of that vise. far-flun- g In connection with this increasing price level, and the dangers inher-ein the general Credit situation, I think credit ought to be Ecclea given to President Eccles, of the Federal - Reserve board of governors, for the bold statement he made a few days ago. Mr. Eccles warned the country very frankly what the dangers are in a situation where labor continues to clamor for a greater share of the profits of commerce and industry and where labors leadership seeks to take advantage of the inability of employers to protect themselves. The Eccles statement took occasion to link labors position with the general money market and the effect labors position is having on the country as a whole. He referred to the demands of some labor leaders for a working week of 30 hours and while not completely discarding that theory, he gave the very definite impression that shorter hours do not constitute a solution for our present problem. Increased wages and shorter hours, said Mr. Eccles, when they limit or actually reduce production are not at this time in the interest of the public in general or in the real interest of the workers themselves. When wage increases are passed along to the public, and particularly when industries take advantage of any existing situation to increase prices far beyqnd increased labor costs, such action is nt one In any examination of an economic condition, one must dig con-below siderably ,. the surface to find seeking the Cause the factors that have operated to bring about the results visible to the eye. Such is certainly the case in the present situation. One can not fairly say that the present booming prices in food have just happened. In truth, things never happen; they are brought about. They have been brought about in the present circumstance by factors that date back to 1933 and include numerous governmental policies that have been initiated since that time. The trained economist will describe present conditions as due to inflation which indeed they are. But inflation is such an term that the real story lies hidden. In an effort to spur and encourage production and aid recovery. President Roosevelt devalued the dollar. He reduced its gold value. During 1933 and 1934 there came numerous pieces of legislation including the NRA and the AAA, each designed to foster increased prices and to build up the level of wages for industrial workers. Subsequently, President Roosevelt sponsored legislation which had as its end and aim federal comrol of wages for workers. This legislation sought to give the federal government power to force business interests to recognize labor unions and to accept labor union scales of pay all to the end that labor should be paid a greater percentage of the returns received by business. shortsighted and an indefensible policy from every standpoint Wage increases and shorter hours are justified and wholly desirable when they result from increasing production per capita and represent a better distribution of the profits of industry. When they retard and restrict production and cause price inflation, they result in throwing the buying power of the various groups in the entire economy out of balance, working a particular hardship upon agriculture, the unorganized workers, the recipients of fixed incomes and all con- sumers. The upward spiral of wages and prices into inflationary price levels can be as disastrous as the downward spiral of deflation. If such conditions develop, the government should intervene in the public interest by taking such action as is necessary to corcct the abuses.
