(Farmer's Sun)
No special gift of prophecy is ne-
cessary to farseeing that commodity
prices nmust decline in the near tut -

"prosperity" cannot continue ucdefinc

But something more than a mere
decline of prices is ahead of us. We
have in the last live years been adding
to the national debt at the rate of
some $400.000.000 per year for the
purpose of carrying on the war. In
audition to this the allied nations
have been spending enormous sums
