Christian Science Monitor. Spend More, Is Suggestion of Judge E.H.Gary Continued High Prices Are Not Based on Logical De mand Is His Claim. Reason, Fairness, Honesty Are Held Only Cure for Situa tion Today. By ELBERT H. GARY t.dltnr-a Not p.. Judze Elbert H. Oary needs no introduction to any reader of any dally paper In the tinted males. Whether one agrees with what he has said or done in the past or not, no one -an rerrain rrom reading nis views 01 the present national economic situation with anything; but Interest and with the knowledge that the writer Is a man whose words are well weighed before being; uttered or put on paper. As the head of the steel corporation his great mentality was given wide opportunity to make itseii leu ana ne accepted ev ery chance. It was talcing mese hancea that put him in the eye or the American public. The following will -ontlnue to hold him there, a national, iotnlnant figure. The devastating and destructive war lasting four and one-quarter yeara and ending November 11th, 1918, left the en tire world In a dilapidated and demor alized condition. Minds had become distracted, visions obscured, morals perverted, natural progress Interrupted and the total economic structure dis jointed. The destruction of and damage to lives and property were so great and the souls of men so embittered that It was difficult for them to mink straight or to act Intelligently. In this extrem ity it seemed desirable, but waa found impossible, to promptly establish & ba sis for the absolute prevention of fur ther International military conflicts Since the armistice waa signed nearly three years have elapsed and nations have been drifting and struggling, en deavoring to formulate and adopt plans for reasonable readjustment and rehab ilitation. Up to the present time there still exist doubt, discord and disorder. This very brief outline I think will suggest to our minds many facts and circumstances which, combined, have brought the business situation in the I'nlted States to its present state. In a country of 107,000,000 people, requir ing for their dally necessities various products aggregating In value billions upon billions of dollars per year, which can be obtained here, having money to supply themselves, production Is pro ceeding much below that which Is act ually needed for consumption. Richest Natloa. In the richest of all nations, In prop erty and money, with the greatest and most rapidly Increasing resources, our people are not buying enough to sup ply themselves with the, ordinary com forts of life although they have the dis position and the means to do so. They are to an appreciable extent wearing their old clothing, living In their un repaired houses, eating unusually plain food and. In various ways, denying to themselves many of the things they would generally buy and utilise; and they are right in their attitude, up to a certain limit. This Is In accordance with the Inexorable law of supply and demand. The demand Is snd for some time haa been below normal. In the main, what has brought abom the present unusually low range of purchases? Why is there less building, diminished purchasing of clothing and wholesome food, less travel and reduc tlon of expenditures for new enter prises and extensions of old? It Is because the great purchasing public has formed the opinion that there have not been consummated com plete and proper readjustment of prices and on account of failure to dlscrlmln ate between different lines or depart ments of business the whole economic system has suffred. Steel Redneed. During the time the United States was engaged In the war there was a governmental board In Washington which, by agreement with Industry, had general supervision over the selling prices of the larger products. Tou are familiar with these proceedings. Tou were a part of them and you respond ed promptly and nobly to all the requi sitions made by the Government. After costs of production were ascertained by the Federal Trade Commission, patient Investigation made by the War Indus tries Board, full opportunity given for consultation and discussion, prices were fixed by the Board and you promptly furnished the goods. Steel Interests voluntarily reduced prices to a substantial extent almost Immediate ly after the armistice was signed, and three months after, repeated this per formance. Some have never alnce In creased these prices, and all sooner or Inter hove reduced them. They are now, on an average, at least 120 per ton lower than the figures agreed upon by the Government Board at Its Hist ses slon. Assuming th steel Industry has been fair and reasonable In prices up to the present time, which I need not dis cuss now, for it is the purchasing pub He which decides these questions, yet It must be admitted, I think, that there have been and still are charged and collected for certain commodities un rensonnhle and unfair, if not extor tionate, prices. They apply to partic ular lines and persons. They do not pertain to the majority. The present offonders, generally speaking, were not subject to limitations by the Govern ment during the war nnd they have continued and even Increased the high prices then obtained. They have done themselves especially a great Injury nnd in doing so have Injured others. This applies In varying degrees to sell ers of products nnd also to members of different trades. I am not Inclined to deal in personalities. It Is necessary only to refer to two or three subjects and make some Illustrations. The pub lie Is aware of the facts. Eyes have been opened. Different products have been purchased from the fanner, menu fncturer or others nt low cost and then passed on in one way or another and flnntly sold to the consumer at outrag eons prices. Retail prices, especially, for many commodities are much too high. Without Justification workmen have been classified and reclassified so as to designate them as skilled men. We have heard of persons whose dally wnge was advanced from IS to $10 or 12 at one time under this practice. Tou know of hundreds of cases Illustrating what has been said and It would be use less to further specify. Worker. Ar Fair. The vast majority of business men and workmen are sincere and fair, but there is and perhaps always will be in minority that Ignore the principles of common honesty. They are sufficient in number to seriously affect the whole situation. Until these are aroused to the -necessity of getting tn line with sound and decent standards of conduct, the full return to satisfactory business conditions will be more or less Impeded. All that I have said during or since the war concerning a return to great prosperity in this country has been predicated on business being managed in accordance' with the principles of reason, fairness and honesty. However, In considering the question of prices It Is to be remembered that many criticisms, favorable jr unfavor able, are made which are not Justified. The reader or listener should be sure of the truth before reaching a conclusion. The fair-minded man. If he Has any facts, will disclose them upon request Occasionally a writer, through Inexper ience or lack of knowledge or other wise, will misrepresent or misinterpret Every one of us has been subjected to a convincing argument agalnat the val idity or soundness of attributed state ments which we never made. It la quite common to build a straw-man In order to give evidence of strength in destroy ing him. But this should never disturb our equanimity. We must admit we are sometimes wrong when we think we are right. Now what, if anything, can be done to improve the general situation? I an swer the first thing for Insistence, throughout the world, Is the observance and enforcement of law. Right 1. Right. There Is no standard for safe and cer tain progress In economic effort except an established rule of law which fixes and protects the rights of every one Ithout discrimination. There are de grees of virtue and offense; but right is right, and wrong Is wrong. Wrong cannot properly be comprised nor fos tered! and so long as a law Is In exist ence It must furnish the rule for con duct Recently we have read of convlctlona for violations of the criminal law by certain business men. They had con trolled selling prices and limited pro ductlon to the Injury of consumers. I am not familiar with the facts and do not know whether or not moral turpi tude was charged. The men pleaded guilty, and, of course, deserved punish ment. And nearly every day for months we have read of strlkera violently attack Ing men who had talon or were otter ing to flu the places made vacant In deed. It seems to be common to attempt by force to irevent operation of produc ing plants 11 transportation lines The freedom of men to work, when and where they pleased, has been inter fered with. Many have been seriously Injured and some killed. If laws shall be enforced and peace maintained, the other questions relat ing to economic progress snd achieve ment will be solved. The law of supply and demand will steadily, if gradually, bring about necessary adjustments which are equitable and relative, and restore levels which are natural and reasonable. Businesa will be more or less hesitating until It la generally be lieved the period of readjustment is over. If It should be deemed necessary and wise to have governmental supervision over organized Industry In order to pro tect the public Interest I personally would not object, provided the laws and rules shall apply alike to organised cap ital and organized labor. Many years ago, at the request of a senatorial com mittee, I submitted the draft of a bill for consideration that seemed to me then to cover the case, but there was lack of itme or disposition to give It Immedllate attention. One of the most hopeful signs of the times Is the apparent disposition of the present Administration at Washington to aid rather than obstruct the natural and legitimate progress of business. Anyone who Intentionally falls to ap-! predate this desire or neglects to co operate to the limit of his ability Is his own worst enemy. Purchase. Delayed. What can be done by the steel indus try? Experience has more than once demonstrated that the mere reduction of selling prices does not bring large and satisfactory business. Would-be cua- tomers are delaying purchases, except for Immediate and Imperative usee, un til satisfied that a sound and stable ba sis of prices has been established. There have been reductions and readjustments 1 and others may be necessary, even In the steel business, before complete res toration of normal conditions. I am not now prepared to express an opinion on this subject. It depends upon cir cumstances. As to prices and wage rates, producers and employes must be fnlr and reasonable, taking everything Into account; fair towards each other nnd towards the general public. It is well known that at present un less and until wage rates are further decreased, the costs of many steel pro ducers will not permit lower selling prices. This presents a serious prob lems. Personally, I think under such conditions wage rates should not be re duced until or about the time selling prices are reduced. I also believe It would be unjust to further reduce wage rates before the costs of living are low er, not of course, Including the excep tional cases already mentioned where the rates are extortionate, as in many' of the trades particularly. So far as practicable, all prices and rates should be adjustetd at about the same time so that nil Interested might be Justly and equitably treated. If a general relative basis has been or can be found then this should be maintained, whether It Is high or low, All Interests must receive the same consideration. Headed for Wealth. If we may rely upon the statements by economic and statistical experts, the country Is now headed In the right di rection, and if this be true, as I believe, then our progress toward recovery, though slow at present, will Increase as the days go by. The steel business on tho whole is a little better this month thnn It was last month. General busi ness throughout the United States has heen slowly Improving. It Is very good In some of the western states. I am not nt all disconrnged. There Is an abundance of new busi ness, with both ability and Inclination lo place It, waiting for further adjust ments which will put the costs of living. selling prices, wage rates and other general Incomes on a relative parity. As usual, many will wait too long. There Is nothing the matter with the country: It Is with Individuals. Pa tience,' courage and a fair disposition will bring satisfactory conditions In due time.

Advertising today, especially in newspapers, is the greatest business getter there is. This is acknowledged by men who know. People read advertisements in news papers. Tliey have been educated to do so. Every merchant in our town ought to advertise. You remember the story about John Wana niaker. The first day he was in business his receipts were $24.04. He kept 04 cents and spent the $24 the next day in advertising. We all can't duplicate this feat, but according to the best statistics available three per cent of the gross sales should be put aside for advertising. Possible you will say. "I don't need to advertise. I've been in this town thirty years and everybody knows me." " Probably they do, but did you ever stop to think of the sales you lose because your fellow competitor advertises! He may advertise the same goods you have in stock, but the people don't know you have them. The other fellow gets the sale because he advertises. And then how much more business would you do if you did advertise! We know of one merchant who advertised a lot of goods at li cents a yard. They cost him 27 cents. He took a clean loss, but while the sale was going on he could buy new goods at 12 cents. He put them in with the other goods and the result was that he cleaned his shelves of the old goods and he broke even on the deal. Advertsing and good buying liquidated his stock without a loss. We can't all be John Wauainakers, but we all can advertise in proportion to our business. Results will be sure if you advertise hon estly and give service. A newspaper can bring people to your store, ; but it can't make people buy your goods, Your clerks must do that ami it depends upon the service you give as to bow successful your business will be. What is done in the big cities can be done right here in this town, if you will show the pep, give the service and advertise. Ma&e business good. You can do it through this newspaper. 6
