Controlling Fire | By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLDEGE Those who are demanding so pas- sionately that prices be controlled seem to be unaware that they are controlled already. They are con- trolled by all the forces which in- fluence costs, and most impressive among these is wages. Of course that is not what the advocates of price fixing mean. They don't want an orderly control. They want someone to arbitrarily step in and say "the sales price of so-and-so shall be this." Such ar- bitrary action can do nothing to change the forces that establish costs. It merely says, no matter what costs may be you can only sell for so much, That may sound very just and satisfactory to those who like to delude themselves that wages and prices are two very dif- ferent things, and that therefore one can be controlled without the other. Of course such a view is economic nonsense. Wages are prices just as much as is the amount that must be paid for a car or an electric toaster or a bag of potatoes. The price of such commodities is what they cost to produce. The price of labor, which is a major part of the cost of all commodities, is what the worker secures as wages in return for the work he does. It is obvious that there can be no con- trol, that is complete control, that does not include both. A partial effort may give an appearance of control. It may sat- isfy the unwary. But, no more than a worker can work without a reasonable return for his effort, can a producer of any commodity accept for it less than it cost to preduce plus a reasonable wage for himself and his machines. Attempt to do this--which is what is being de- manded--and one of several things must happen. The producer may stop producing. That would mean less goods and less employment, He may reduce the quality to bring his product in line with the price. He may restrict his production, or momentarily absorb the losses thus | endangering his business and the interests of those he employs. There is another reaction to this. Similar goods may find their way into the black market as they undoubtedly did whene prices were last con- trolled. Then you have a controlled price with few goods offering, and a black market which has the goods KIDNEY ACIDS Rob yourRest.. Many people never seem to got a night's rest.

While wages remain at about 80% of all production costs it should be apparent that to attempt to cqn- trol the price without controlling the factor that establishes the price, is like trying to control a fire while squirting it with gasoline.
