FOOD PRICE DROP DENIED
Department of Justice War on Cost
of Living Called Failure
Chicago, July 20. Denial that the
high cost of living had been reduced
through the activity of tho Department
of Justico was mado yesterday by Sol
Westerfeld, president of tho Chicago
Retail Grocers' Association, who said
thnt virtually nothing had been accom
plished in that connection.
' Tho statement was coincident with
thnt of Howard Flgg. ascslstant nttor
noy general, who said thnt tho depart
was responsible for a material reduc
tion In the price o( foodstuffs.
,rMr. Flgg concerns himself nnd the
department with distribution," said
Westerfeld "Thev have done nothing
toward reduction."
Big Drop in Prices Coming
Banking Men Here Predict
Calwell ai( Passmore
for Bumper Crops and Improved Labor ,
and Transportation Conditions
Charles S. Calwell. president of the
Corn Exchongo Bank, nnd E. Puscy
Pnssmore, who heads the Bnnk of North
America, said today that market condi
tions denoted a general and decided fall
in prices and n more livable future for
Mr. Common People.
Federal Reserve Bank officials note
the same trend, saying that a fall In
nrlco for staple articles began about the
latter part of May and through June,
and has since continued.
Among the commodities most affected
arc silks, cotton, leather, wool, shoes,
c1?' c,.9.tu.c? .nn1 1'oslcry. Food, too,
while still high, is duo for a fall, It 19
declared. Bumper crops. Improved fu
ture transportation nnd win iihi-
conditions in the offing all will con
tribute to this desirable end, it is de
clared. "The era of extraordinary prices Is
about over," said Mr. Calwell. "Prices
already In sight, nnd signs everywhere,
all tend to show n big decrease in tho
cost of those goods which enter into
everyday usu by the public, n condi
tion which will be translated to the
people within a short lime.
Decrease In Demand Plays Pnr
"Lessening of public demand" for
many necessities is doing Its part, while
extroordlnary crops ore dojng their bit.
ThV recent fine weather has been a
godlcnd for tho growth of high grade
cotton, nnd now one of the best cropa
in history is safe. With the war over,
that cannot help but mean that cotton
will bo available nt much lower prices
than formerly.
"Of course we still supply the world
with this commodity-, nnd thnt helps
to keep tho prico up. Automobile tires
havo also been a material factor In re
cent years In keeping up the price of
cotton. Enormous amounts of tho high
est grade cotton ore used in their
manufacture. But, nevertheless, pros
pects for favorable prices are good. ,

NOT YET SELECTED;
University Trustees May Wait
Until Winter to Name Suc
cessor to Smith
TWENTY-FIVE. 'CONSIDERED'
r The University of Pennsylvania will
begin Its next term, in September, .with
Acting rrWost Icnultnan htill in charge.
In fact the1 chances arc rather against
the appointment of n permanent provost
earlier than the opening of the second
term.
This was learned today from Influen
tial alumni who arc co-operating with
the trustees in finding the right mnn
to fill the Important post mode vacant by
the resignation of Dr. Edgar Fahs
Smith.
It is considered extremely unllkelj
thnt the board of trustees will name
the new provost without further consul
tatlon with the representatives of tho
alumni committee of 100. The com
mittee is not expected to hold nnother
meeting earlier than next October or
possibly even November.
May Not Act Until Winter
T'nlcss the trustees, therefore, act
with greater haste than they have shown
n the unfit, there is smnll likelihood
that Penn's students will know the
name of their new provost until the
winter. '
Though tho alumni have mado up a
llstiof twenty-fivo educators who in the
judgment of the committee nro of proper
timber for the provostshlp. alumni
lodgment hns crystallized on two or
three men who nrc considered the most
likely candidates.
Tho names of these two or three are
beinc jealously guarded.
"It would be n serious breach of
confidence to even hint nt the men who
Are being considered," jrnid George
Wharton Pepper today. Mr. Pepper Is
chairman of the committee of 100. ns
well as a member of the board of
trustees.
Merely Suggest Names
"The enmmittep. of which I have the
honor tn be chairman, is desirous of
having it understood that we are making
no recommendations to tho board ot
trustees. That is not our function. Tho
trustees' delegated to us the duty of
looking over the field, and furnishing
them n list of names for their guidance.
Wo hove no power to make n recom
mendation, and do not wish It to be un
derstood that the alumni committee are
urging the selection of nny one upon
the trustees."
Ralph Morgan, also a member of the
cpnimittco, nnd of tho subcommittee to
which much of the work of preparing
the list has been delegated, said thnt
while ho tould not name any of the men
who are on tho list lie could say that
Philadelphia was represented.
Other Colleges in Field
"Wo nro pretty well decided." said
Mr. Morgan,, "on the men we think best
suited for tho provostshlp. I cannot
even hint nt their names. It would put
them nnd us nllke iu mi embarrassing
position to do so.
"Several meetings have hcei held be
tween our coiitmitten and the trustees.
At these meetings the names of tho men
on the list linvo been discussed with
tho trustees. I assume that there will
be subsequent meetings between our
committee nnd the trustees."
Tho problem of selecting Penn's new
provost Is complicated further by the
met thnt a great number of other col
leges, all overs tho country, nrc ticking
now administrators. Mr. Morgan said
that somewhero in tho neighborhood of
forty educational institutions 'cither
havo just changed their heads or are
looking for new ones.

from the United States which points

of Saghalln. -Tho Nichl Nichl, com
menting on the nature of the protest,
however, says tho. impression exists
here that the communication l not
really n protest, but rather an expo
sition of the American viewpoint on
occupations of Russian territory, with
something of America's nttitude toward
the territory to bo occupied.
It is 'apparently felt here that any
publication of the details of the note
should emanate from Washington nnd
not Tokio, Meanwhile it is considered
likely that Japan, after mature de
liberation, will forward an answer to
Washington in an attempt to clarify of
ficial opinion there nnd remove any mis
understanding of Jnpan's position.
Appearances here indicate that Ja
pan is pnssin gthrough another "nerv

Premier Hara Questioned
Japan's intention to occupy Sughaliu
wes tne sUDiocc oi an interpellation re
ently iu the House of Peers. Ichlo
Hnttorl. former governor of Hyogo
province, wanted to know whether
Japan intended to occupy Saghalln per
manently in event of failure, to obtain
satisfaction for the Nikolaievsk mas
sacre from such a government ns might
eventually be established in Russia.
Hattori declared that nothiug caused
deeper and more sustained resentment
than when a nation's territory was par
tially occupied bj auother nntion. He
suid Russia was ih confusion now nnd
might prove easy 0 deal with, but that
the fact should not be lost sight of that
Russia was a country of great possi
bilities. Hcr strong latent power in Slberin.
he added, offered a field for peaceful and
economic expansion by the Japanese,
whose migration there was a possible
solution of Japan's ovcrpopulnted con
dition. But this, he asserted, would
meet wltn a serious oJieck if bad blood
existed between the Russians and Jap
anese. Premier Hara, replying, Baid it would
be detrimental to Japan's interests to
disclose what the government proposed
to do If no satisfactory settlement of
the N'ikolaicvsk massacre was found.
"Hattori fears occupation of Rus
sian territory by Japan might lenve
indelible resentment on the part of the
Russians," declare the premier. "I
share his fear, but think it impossible
that Japan will do nothing to obtnln
satisfaction for n mnssacre in which
700 Japanese lost their lives, even
though uction is taken thnt mav be pro
ductive of Russian resentment,
"As there is no stable government in
Russia uUniesent there is no altei na
tive but to occupy the neccssnrv points
in Sakhalin province neudlnt-' nui..l
llshmtut of legitimate government. The
diplomatic world and history provides
ample precedent for an injured countrv
to take the steps it thinks proper, 'l
