K Wag Fight. "It is not a fight, ia reality, for a fair wage in return for an honest day's woe. ,Nor is it right to redue -the-: eoat of living or for bettering living ioaditione. It is a social and political onslaught upon our form of government ad upon the system of individual ownership of private property private ownership. "It matters not to the men directing this struggle that all attempts at rom anofl. ownership that all efforts and trials" stiaocisliiotion and nationaliza tion ef proiierty have been failures, no matter where, when, or by what people they were tried.

In a statement to the ahopmrn thcmselvee the President declared that the primary step was to increase produc tion and facilitate transportation o as to make up for the destruction wrought l.y the war and the terrible scarcities it created. The President added that the government had taken np with all possible vigor the task of bringing the profiteer to book, making tha stocks of necessities in the country available at lower prices, stimulating production and facilitating distribution. "The movement inaugurated at that time to gain control over the eost of living haa been largely .in the hands of the Department of justice. Lack of Penalty a Handicap. "The Iever food control act, under which the Food Administration operated and through the enforcement ef which the Department of Justice is now try ing to reduce high prices, unfortunately did not provide a penalty for certain ncta declared to be unlawful, and there fore, the Department of justice was unable to effectively deal with many eases of profiteering which came to its attention. Realising tha gravity of this situation, the Preeideat appeared be fore the Congress on August 8th and urged an immediate amendment for the food control act, to extend it acop to all tho necessities of life, and to pro vide a penalty for violation of section four of this act which made profiteer ing unlawful and to extend tho life of the act into peace-time.
