Philadelphia, July 25.—The cost of
living is likely to stay high for a long
time to come in the opinion of the
Philadelphia Board of Trade. This
view is a result of a compilation of
statistics from many lines of trade
and industry.
According to these fgures the ad-
vance in prices In this country since
1914 has been about 107 per cent, in
Canada 115 per cent;. Great Britain
133 per cent and France 235 per cent.
It is pdinted out that, in spite of ma-
terial reductions in the price of steel
the advance in other commodities
since the armistice has been so great
that the average price schedules have
been reduced but 5.7 per cent below
prices prevailing October 1, 1918.
The following are given as reasons
why wages will not be much less for
a considerable period of time.
Practical stoppage of immigration
since 1914, depriving this country of
several millons of workers wto would
normally have come to us and thus
have relieved the labor shortage that
confronts American industry upon the
resumption of capacity operations.
Retention in the government mili-
tary service of nearly 2,000,000 work-
ers, which it is declared will ddhbt-
Ies8 continue an indefinite period.
Creation of new industries such as
shipbuilding, manufacture of chemi-
cals and dyes.
Urgent demand for building and
construction of every class due #to
their having been forcibly held back
for several years.
Shortage of world food supplies and
uniformly higk prices.
' Proportionately higher levels of
commodity prives existing throughout
Europe.

again. They have ranged from very
lengthy articles in eastern magazines,
to column length interviews in Los
Angeles newspapers. Always accom-
modating to newspaper men Mr. Ford
has been interviewed in every city he
ever visited or where his train has
stopped. Tribune counsel has en-
deavored to recall to his mind each
individual interview. Naturally the
witness could not always recall the
Incident or the conversation.
Mr. Ford tried to make it plain, as
the examination went on, that he was
and is against all war, but that he was
for war, when the United States be-
came involved because he believed it
to be a war to end war.
In answer to a carefully laid train
of Questions asked by Tribune attor- j
neys Mr. ,Foid said that whereas hs
had once opposed war and believed !
the country adequately equipped foi I
defense, he had reached Another con-
clusion when the United St ates broke j
off relations with Germany. He did '
not think he was mistaken in his
previous views hut the changed con-
ditions brought a change of duties.
“I never called any person, any in-
dividual, a murderer; it was the sys
tern, the war system that was mur
derous,” said Henry Ford. •
Mr. Ford will be on the stand for
several days.

“They had spent four years in the
neglect and misery of German intern- j

the strongest man’s spirit. Their own
country had forgotten them and no
word had come from their relatives
and friends. There was no future in
Germany nor hope of anything bet-

thousands of Russians who had fought
valiantly for the allied cause were
slowly dying from depression, mental
inactivity and physical malnutrition.
