NO PRICE DROP
Of Any Consequence
for Several Years
Seuet of Commissioner of Labor
Statistics—Says Sudden Drop to
'9"3 Prices Woulo Be Disastrous
to Business and LaPor—Increased
P-oCuction Only Safe Course
Washington. Jan. 4—No prospect ]
ol any considerable decline in prices ,
:or several years to come is seen by
Royal Meeker. •ommiMKioner of Labor
Statistics ana tieiui of the bureau
which collects information on the
rrend of prices used hy the govern
ment in official negotiations concern
ing wages and similar instructions.
He recommended a monetary unit of
va,ue to repiuct the present units of
weight.
"People generally are yearning so
intently for lower prices that they
have noi thought much about th< re
sults of the failing prices.” Mr Meek
er said. The prices we kicked
about m 1913 have come to be re
garded as idea..' Untold distress has
been caused by the rapid price in
creases of the past four years. The
sufferings already endured by the
people 'hrough rising prices will be.
multiplied p.r, fojd jf prices drop
within the next, seven : ears to the
1913 level. A period of failing prices
is always a time of business depres
sion. failures and unemployment.”
Declaring that the governments of
the world could not reduce their in
debtedness suddenly, the commis
sioner said tue credit which would
have to be extended to Europe by
thm country would produce further
inflation, ’has boosting prices still
h«gher ” Similarly, the world's pro
duction of goods eannoi be increased
suddenly For that reason, he said,
tear that a drop would flood Ameri
ean markets to the uetrimen: of do
mestic industry was unfounded. "The
normal seasonal drop in prices may
be expected in i!l3".” Mr. Meeker
continued. "In normal times the
low price lei el for all commodities
combined comes in March, April or
May.
"These seasonal prices changes are
relatively small and will lur e hut
little effect upon the housewives ex
penditures. No great and sudden
tail in prices seems possible for a
long time
“Production should in speeded up
to the limn and dents should he
paid not with more debts but with
economic goods, and services. These
processes should be set m motion
without delu: li will require several
years to readjust industry and trade
on a firm basis again. In the mean
time. the United States government
should, in my judgment, join with the
other leading governments of the
world in tue creation ol an interna
tional commission to study ways and
means of setting up a true and rela
tively cons land standard of value to
displace the present monetary units
which arc merely units of weigh! and
consequently variable in value or
purchasing power The most impor
tant constructive work that can be
uone in any fieid is the establishment
nf a stable standard of value, so that
ail the people, rich and poor, em
ployer and employe, bond holder and
stockholder, mar be spared for all
time the agonies of changing price
levels.''

that the danger from serious conse -
