Hildreth, H. P. Petersen of Dann
borad andV R. F. Greenslit, of

Prof. R. D. Gilmore of the Ne
braska state university addressed the
lumbermen on the "Present Price
Situation.";. Professor gilmore at
tributed he recent great-advance in
high prices principally to the Euro
pean demand for our goods. He! said
the profiteer was not responsible for
high prices. , . . .
He also attributed the higfi prices
to an ineffecient method of financing
the war.. . c
State of War Intolerable. . '
"The present state of war with
Germany and Austria is intolerable,
continued Professor Gilmore. "The
indemity that is levied on Germany
should be levied in definite terms.
As long as the German" business man
doe not know ,how much taxation
he Is expected to meet he will lose
. initiative. He must be given a feel
ing of confidence so as to set about
producing immediately ' goods that
we all need." "
', He also advocated the adoption
cf a better banking policy. , :
"There is no reason for alarm m
the future," said professor Gilmore.
" We have the best banking system
nd the arreatest natural resources
"In the world. With these and similar
. advantages there are ample pros-
pects for a'betterment of conditions
within a month of two." .
r He concluded by saying that the
present housing shortage is grossly
exaggerated and quoted United
4 States official statistics td prove his
contention. e "
