AMERICANS PAID LESS.
A comparison of pre-war prices with
those now prevailing shows that the in
crease in the cost of living in the United
States has been less than in any other
country.
A comparison between the prices pre-
vailing in September, 1413, ten months
before the outbreak of the world war,
with those of September, 1918, two
months before the sigoing of the armis-
tice, shows that the increase in the
United States level of commodity prices
was 107 per cent, In Canada, the in-
crease was 115 per cent, and in the
United Kingdom, 133. For France, the
comparison was with the prices of last
May. to which time they had risen 233
per cent,
Ia all the countries, the rise was ac-
companied by an increase In the amount
of money in circulation and in the a-
mount of bank deposits, In the United
States, the per capita circulation in 1913
was $14.65. December 1, 1918, this had
increased Ga per cent, to $56.23. During
the same time, bank deposits in
Ametica increased almost threefold,
