NOME, Al ASKA, JAN. 24, 1917.
It would seem tha Examiner Whip
pit has ali to himself the Job of lu
Vtallputing the leak and that the
ru'es committee have dodged the
woik. Whipple is armed with full
powers to compel evidence ignd he
should rattle the dry bones of Wall
st’.tet to a fare-you-well and his own
heart's content. But he U agumst a
huid game as wus shown yesterday
when President Noble of the stock ex
change piotessed ignorance of stock
manipulations. The courts have not
ycl found a way to got aroun* th^t
answers, "I don’t know" and "I don't
remember.”
The sigmlicance of President Wil
son’s address before the senate was not
that he put forth uu original plan
but that he threw the weight of his
position an'1 abiiit; behind a .nove
mrtn already under good headway not
only in this country but in most parts
of the world. To be 3ure, the presi
■ent added n ine unbcllutnents of his
own to the proposed leugue for world
peace and put the case very forcefully.
Ue merely pave impetus to a project
already under way. It is probable
that action by the United States sen
ate may still more advance the cause
of peace not only from the present
war but for all time.
We are paying more for our beans
today because of the war, more for
our flour, and so are our fellow oiti
i.er.3 all over the country, and so are
our fellow human beings all over the
world. The simple answer, the easy
way to reduce tho cost of our food
necessities, would 3eem to be embodied
in the word "embargo." Eel the gov
ernment prohibit the export of our
foodstuffs, say some. This may ap
pesr to be an easy solution of the
difficulty. But it would have to be
dene by act of congress and after
co> siderable debate, with the advice
of economists who can see farther thim
tlioir note end think moer deeply
tli.n a ward politician. What would
be me fate of a bill to place an em
bargo on food stuffs?
Tbs defeat of any bill Introduced In
congress to prohibit the exportation of
food stuffs with a view to lowering
the cost of living in this country Is
forecasted alike by government econ
omic officials and political students.
Politicians point out that President
Wilson hue shown on several occa
sions hi. opposi ion to iuc.i Pm argo a

representatives will stand firmly
against such proposals. This will be
true particularly ot tbe entire western
contingent, it Is declared, because of
to; backnome pressure that will bo
exerted mainly by agricultural Inter
ests who realize that food embargoes
would inevitably result in the curtail
ment. ui me o.g proms they have real
ised from Ui* sei* ef gnuA for LU*
last vwv yeua.
hcouviuesu ere loud 1a tbe (egres
sion ut tauir belief that tbe basic econ
omic law—that high prices stimulate
I,eduction and therefore tends to
uvincome great extremes in prices—
should be relied upon. They are
uulituly of ihe opinion that if the
euburgo bills should come to debate
—ana liopi esenuitive filiguiuld of
New York lius uunaunced Ins inten
tion ot ieaaing a lrgut for tbe pas
sage of sucu a m.inuui in tbe house
—li will be shown that suen laws oniy
fur the time being would reduce the
price of toodstuns to American con
sumers.
Tne economists explain their con
tortion by the fuct that the high
puces of wheat since the war started
lias impelled farmers of the country
to sow an enormously increased acre
age of the grain, and that a normal
mop next yeur will put on the mar
ket millions of bushels of wheat more
than was to be had this year, with
tho result that prices next year will
ceitatnly not bo li.g .er than now pre
vail, nan possibly somewhat lower.
Snuuld expor.aliou of wheat be pro
hibited, the econom.sts declare, the
win at acieage would he materially de
01 .usea, ivo.cn would result in a heavy
ptrr’uclioQ with an ultimate cun
Saijueni rise in pi ice. Therefore so
long a3 the war continues and the
prices of other food stolfs and manu
factures remain at the present high
mark tho price of grain is bound to
be above normal in company with all
other foods and artices of commerce.
It is ulso argued by the economists
that an American embargo on the
exportation of wheat would result in
gi outly increased plantings und stim
ulated production in other wheat grow*
mg countries which would reap the
benefit of the high prices the entente
allies are paying and will continue
to pay for gruin so long us the Rus
sian wheat supply Is cut off and the
allies labor supply is kept in the
trenches.
Another argument put forth is that
the farmer finding his high-priced
giein markets blocked, would take
stock and find himself paying war
time prices for everything manufac
tured that he buys, especially articles
o? Iron, steel, copper, etc., and would
picmpily demand, und likely obtain,
piohibitlon of the exportation of such
ai tides. In the end there would be
raif-ed a great clamor by consumers
of all classes for embargoes on many
-J-'■
kinds of foodstuffs and manufactured
and raw materials which, if put into
effect, would greatly decrease produc
tion of everything grown or manu
factured in the nation
