to equalize pressure at all points.
“It adds much to strengthen evi-

"it also_throws light upon the

For instance. we have demonstrated

tlonaiy Communists. These veteran
fighters certainly made an invalu-
able and unique contribution to the
success of the revolution. but it is
inevitable that they will gradually
make room for younger men who
are in closer touch with Russia's
present-day problems. The infiltra-
tions of these younger men, repre-
senting various social elements, the
workers, the Red army, the new
Communist students, into the re-
sponslble administrative posts of the

Already the desirability of at-
tracting-more non—partisan workers
'into the Soviets and of giving them
a. wider scope for activity has been
recognized even by such pillars of

Zinoviev. This means a. gradual re-
vival of the Soviets as real organs
of discussion and legislation. At
present they ar elittle more than
passive machines for registering -the
decisions reached in the Communist
caucuses. And the peasants, per-
haps more slowly, will claim and re-
celve the same rights, of free: dis—
cussion and wider activity which are
now being granted to the non-parti-

be realized overnight. is a reasonable
prospect of a. not too distant future.

HITS AT PROPOSED FARM
RELIEF BILL .
That the erection of. a. tariff wall
to raise the prices of agricultural
products to the pro-war basis
would tend further to increase the
cast of living and inevitably lead to
inflation of prices generally. was
the recent assertion of Thomas 0.
Marvin. chairman of the Federal
Tarifl! Commission in discussing the
tariff problems. He declared that
tinkering with the tariff in the
manner proposed by the McNary—
Haugen bill now before congress.
was unprecedented. and he doubted
the constitutionality of a. provision
that would give the President prac-
tically unrestricted power in the
matter of increasing tarii‘b rates.
'fiio bill lncfides such a provision.
Even if it: wcre'constitutional he
expressed doubts as to "the wisdom
of conferring power of such ex-
traordilrary character upon one in-
dividual." ' _
The regul'ation of the law of sup-
ply and demand by law is imprac-
ticable. declared Mr. Marvin.
“Sixteen centuries ago the Ro-
man emperor. Diocletiab, with the
whole world at his command. tried
toflmaintajp pride! , bit.-- artificial
means.” he said. "His eflort :was
an utter failure. The same thing
has been attempted through *the
centuries, but never with success.”
Mr. Marvin presented to the com-
mittee a statement showing the
probable effect of the proposed ra-

tio of prices contemplated by the
McNary-Haugen bill. He pointed
out that all commodities in the ten--
year period from 1904 to 19“ bore
a ratio of 162.3 to 100 in December.
1923. On this basis wheat. which
sold at an average of $1 a. bushel
in the pro-war period and which
was quoted at $1.09 in December.
‘1923. would have a ratio price of
$1.59. .
“The bill would fail at its pur-
pose should agricultural products
rall to rise to the ratio price to be
paid by the consumers." he added.
7"But the effect or the- increased
prices must necessarily go far be-
yond the basic agricultural com-
modities. because the increased
price of the basic raw materials
will have to be increased all along
the line. advancing the cost of flu-
lshed products.
"With that tendency tovlvard in-
creased cost of living, there will
be a demand for increased wages,
which would mean further increas.
esjn, the cost of production of other
than farm products, thus meaning
higher prices of the commodities
used as a. basis for the agricultural
ratio. In that way the ’plan would
lead to constant inflation of prices.
ff'llhererare serious
objections to this proposal," Mi:
Marvin concluded. “It conflicts
with the operation of economic laws.
You can't repeal ,the law of supply
and demand. The troubles it would
cause would greatly exceed the dif-
ficulties ”is proposed to remedy."
