If one' were to buy all the railroad property in the United States at the present mar ket prices of their securities and could sell them to the government at the value fixed by the commission. he would make mere than I5,000,000.000." In discussing the rate adjustment phase. Thorn e said : That which Is of keen Interest to manufacturers and jobbers ' relates to tne rate adjustments between competi tive points.' A percentage ! advance makes wholesale disturbance in rate re lationship. A 40 per cent increase -on a dollar rate Is four times as much as a 40 per cent on a IS cent rate. Consequently a percentage advance .will compel the long haul shipper to absorb a very sub stantial portion of the advance to meet the prices of his competitors. JULY SEES PEAK'IN FOOD COSTS; DEALERS ACCUSED Boston, Aug. S. (L K. S.) Declaring that food prices In July were the high est in the last seven years, the commis sion on the necessaries of life today charged , in its . official report to the legislature that the meat and provision dealers are again profiteering at the ex pense of the people. " The cost Of living has lumped lOz.f per cent in Massachusetts since 191$, the commission found. ' Clothing has de creased, but the meat profiteers by ad vancing their prices have kept up the general average . of the high cost of llvin-. i . . The -commission predicts that general living costs will break because of the abundance of raw materials and the enormous crops of grain,-wool and cotton-in the. making. - Wages have In creased from 10 to 26 per cent In the last six months, but only the thrift of the average man and woman enable them to meet the-high costs. . - "The remedy for conditions Is to a large extent in the hands of the people," the jreport said, and "if the public will refuse 'to pay excessive prices, but will get along on what they have as far as possible and when i they have to buy, 'shop around' and get real value for their money, prices will Inevitably come down.

P.)-France stands ready to recognize the Bolshevikl the moment they assume ' the international obligations of the former Russian gov ernment. Premier Millerand declared to day to the United Press. 1 In his first interview since the allied conference at Boulogne, the premier thus clearly, defined his country's, attitude toward- the Bolshevikl. "France will recognize the Bolshevik government the minute it assumes the international obligations of tne former Russian government," he said, "and this includes, first, payment of all debts : sec ond, acceptance of all treaties and ob servance of , all International engage ments with the former allies of the Im perial Russian government." FIRST CLEAR STATEMENT Millerand 's interview was tLe first clear-cut, categorical announcement of the terms under which diplomatic rela tions may be restored between Paris and Moscow. It was the first time that the premier . in any - public . expression had definitely committed himself to recogni tion, narrowing down the conditions to a single, concrete prerequisite. ' - We will naturally expect Moscow to present evidence of the sincerity of her Intention to carry out her obligations," the premier said. 1 - He declined to go into details with ref erence to the nature of the guarantees, sarins : - . : . - "Thus far Moscow has not made any offer to recognize the engagements of the preceding government. You may say for -me that we will treat with them politically the Instant . they fulfill this condition." . , WANTS AID FROM TJ. S. Millerand laid stress on -the desirabil ity of the United States participating in the settlement of the Russian question. When asked if the Russian policies of France and the United States were the same, he smiled slightly- and. with an expressive gesture- of hopelessness, re plied : v 1 "I don't know what the United States' Russian policy Is. Washington, unfor tunately, apparently has completely withdrawn from European affairs. All I can say is I'm sorry and hope she will reenter soon. ' So far, the premier said, he had re ceived no diiect word of the Polish armistice terms. ; "If they fall to agree." he declared. "France will support Poland to the ut most, with officers and war material. Whether French troops will be sent will be determined when the need for mak ing a decision arises." - BOLSHEVIK CAVALRY IS , SO MILES FROM 1 LEMBERG - By Webb Miller 'London, Aug, S.
