BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD
Theodore- Burlon Kxpects New Tork
to Be Greatest Financial Center.
NEW YORK. March . Theodore E.
Burton, president of the Merchants' Na
tlnnal Bank, told membX' of the Bond
Club at the monthly luncheon recently
In the Bankers' Club rooms that while
financial calculations for the future
could not safely be made until the war
ended, the outlook for investments was
improving.
"I believe there will be an Increasing
demand for your services In the fu
ture." he said. "The industrial opera
tion of the country cannot cease. As
time progresses the Treasury Depart
ment will recognise the necessity fr
prompt disbursement to aid all tnose
who are taking part in manufacturing
and furnishing articles that are neces
sary for war. and that Is likely to make
money easier. i
"It is inevitable that the operations
of the whole world in the years that
are to come are going to center around
thl city. The financial center of the
world, if you go back to remote an
tiquity, was first at Tyre, then at
Carthage, then at Rome, then for cen
turies at Venice, then it shifted to Am
terdam. then to London, and now it Is
inevitable that the center of the world's
greatest financial operations will
change from the banks of the Thames
to the banks of the Hudson. No one
can foretell the greatness of this city
in Its commerce and finance."
Ex-Senator Burton devoted most of
his address to the war. reviewing events
which led to tha conflict and America's
part In th atruggle.
FOOD PRICES ARE SOARING
British Committee Analyzes the Iligb
Cost of Living.
LONDON. March 1. "High watres
mean high prices. Fresh cycles of
wage advances succeed one another.
Each one results "n further Increases
of prices or in preventing a reduction
of prices. The producer are raising
prices against themselves as consumers.
We are deeply Impressed with the seri
ousness of the situation, and are con
vinced that if the process continues the'
result can hardly fail to be disastrous
to all classes of the nation."
Thia i tha summing uo of a. report
just given to the House of Commons by
Its committee on. National expenditure,
after long Investigation Into the rising
cost of necessities at all kinds in Great
Britain. "The "whole thing is a vicious
circle of rising wages followed by ris
inr nricea." asserts the report- The
counter-recommendations of the com
mittee Include:
"The Government should endeavor to
avoid the creation of new credits In
financing the war.
"The actual Increase .In the cost of
living to the working classes should be
ascertained.
"Profits should be llmltea.
"An advance of wages should be
limited if given on any ground other
than the rise in the cost of living.
"A single policy unaer ma uirccnou
of one authority should be adopted In
11 industry In the determination oi
wage questions. -The ail-arouna in
crease in wages of 10 -per cent ana
similar increases In the cost of com
modities purchased at nome nave ai
AnH.. invnivtH an Increase in national
expenditure of 130.000.000 yearly."
One of tne mosi impanam cu" "
the increase of expenditure, says the
committee, has been expansion of
credit. If it had been possitle to fi
nance the war from day to aay oy
ntip.iv of taxation and loans
from the savings of the people the gen
eral Increase of prices would ha 'e been
considerably less than it Is.
