an educational campaign undertaken-
by , ths council of national de

: The United States council of national
defense, composed of the secretaries of
war, ' nary,' interior, agriculture, com
merce and labor, has mads a careful
investigation of the high cost of 'living
problem, and finds j t
That the nation's productive powers
have got been fully utilised since the
armistice. ' " j
' That too few goods.' notably the neoes-j
ilttes of life, have been produced, and :
fjiat even some of these goods have been
Withheld . from the market, and; there
5 ore from the people.
That the, high cost of living is due in
part to unavoidable war waste and in
crease of money and credit.
f That there has been and Is consider
able profiteering, Intentional and unin
tentional. v :S
teXMEDiES AiriroinrcED
I The council believes that the remedies
! or the situation are: - v ? .
To produce more goods, and to pro
ace them in proportion tohe needs of
he people.
To stamp out profiteering and stop
fan necessary hoarding,
I .To - enforce vigorously present laws
Khd promptly to enact such' further
laws as are necessary to prevent and
banish profiteering and needless hoard
ing. ... t . '
; . To bring about better cooperation and
method In distributing and marketing
goods. "
To keep both producer and consumer
fully informed .'as to what goods -are
peeded and . as" to what supplies are
Jvallable. so that production may an
te J pate the country's demands.

t Goods and" not money are the means
ef life. - Better standards of living are
Impossible i without producing a more
iroods. Man cannot consume what has
Jiot been produced.
- At the war's end our allies had des
perate need of the essentials of life.
RVe have had to share our resources
with them, but this drain will gradually
lessen. In so far as our. shortage of
fcroods is due to this cause, we can well
afford to be patient. . .:,
ilt la just as essential that we have
patience with the economic situation
here at home. The process of produc
tion requires time. If production Is
rspldly Increased, vastly Improved con
ditions will prevail In. America when
the results of present and future labor
begin to appear, ; ' - ; ,

Team work Is Imperative. It is Just as

and producer, as It is between employ

tnanufacturer,. the farmer, the distribu

part of the; burden' and enter upon his
task.. : The nation cannot afford curtail

i On American business rests a , grave
responsibility for efficient cooperation
In bringing about fun and proportionate
production. On American labor, rests

freight rates on pulp wood to a parity

Thelen, direcor .ofthe federal railroad
administration.. ,
In the state of Washington, he points
out, pulp wood and fuel wood are given
the same freight rates, while the paper
mills In ' Oregon ' are , denied ' the same

rThis commission believes that the
present wood rates . are remunerative
and. In instances, might even reasonably
be reduced." Buchtel writes. "Further,
that Oregon's wood rates for comparable
distances and conditions should be re
duced to conform to the schedules ef
fective in the state of Washington." - -
