VHSON CALLS
BUSINESSMEN
TO THE COLORS
'ation Will Pay Only Just
Prices For War
Goods
Washington, July 12. —President
ilson has summoned American
slnass to the colors. He appealed
the country's business interests to
ut aside every selfish consideration
ad to give their aid to the nation as
ely as those who go out to offer
telr lives on the battlefield.
In a statement addressed to the
val operators and manufacturers,
e grave assurances that Just prices
111 be paid by the government and
le public during the war, but
arned that no attempt to extort lin
gual profits will be tolerated.
The President declared theer must
e but one price for the government
id for the public. The problem of
artime prices, he declared, will
nean victory or defeat.'' •
In unmeasured terms, Mr. Wilson
>ndemned th. ship owners of the
>untry for maintaining a schedule
' ocean freight rates which has
laced "almost insuperable obstac
s" In the path of the government.
"The fact is," he asserted, "that
>ose who have fixed war freight
ites have taken the most effective
eans in their power to defeat the
mies engaged against Germany,"
Profits and Patriotism
The President outlined his position
i follows:
"My fellow countrymen:
"The government is about to at
mpt to determine the prices at
hich it will ask you henceforth to
irnish various supplies which are
ecessary for the prosecution of the
ar and various materials which
ill be needed in the industries by
hlch the war must be sustained.
r e shall, of course, try to determine
lem Justly and to the best advan
ige of the nation as a whole; but

"I had indigestion so bad that it

"I couldn't seem to eat anything
hat would agree with me, for no

"Sometimes the pain was so bad

THURSDAY EVENING,
arrive at and there are some consid
erations which I hope we shall keep
steadily In mind while this particular
problem of Justlc* Is being worked
out. I, therefore, take the liberty
of stating very candidly my own
view of the situation and of the
principles which should guld® both
the government and the mine own
ers and manufacturers of tho coun
try in thlp difficult matter.
"A just price must, of course, be
paid for everything the government
buys. By a Just price I mean a price
which wllj sustain the Industries con
cerned In a high state of efficiency,
provide a living for those who con
duct them, enable them to pay good
wages, and make posslblo the ex
pansions of their enterprises which
will from time to time become neces
sary as the stupendous undertakings
of this great war develop. We could
not wisely or reasonably do less than
pay such prices. They are necessary
for the maintenance and develop
ment of industry: and the mainten
ance and development of industry
are necessary for the great task we
have in hand.
Facts Are Our Masters
"But I trust that we shall not sur- j
round the matter with a mist of sen- j
tlment. Facts are our masters now. '
We ought not to put the acceptance 1
of such prices on the ground of
patriotism. Patriotism has nothing |
to do with profits In a case like this, i
Patriotism and profits ought never J
in the present circumstances to bej
mentioned together. It is perfectly i
proper to discuss profits as a matter '
of business, with a view to main- j
taining the integrity of capital and
the efficiency of labor in these trag- ,
ical months when the liberty of free
men everywhere and of industry it- |
self trembles in the balance; but it I
would be absurd to discuss them a3 j
a motive for helping to serve and
save our country.
"Patriotism leaves profits out of
the question. In these days of our
supreme trial, when we are sending
hundreds of thousands of our young
men across the seas to serve a great
cause, no true man who stays be
hind to work for them and sustain
them by his labor will ask himself i
what he is personally going to I
make out of that labor. No true j
patriot will permit himself to take |
toll of their heroism in money orj
seek to grow rich by the shedding of j
their blood. He will give as freely
and with as unstinted selfsacrifice as
they. When they are giving their
lives will he not give at least his
money?
"Just Price"
"I hear it insisted that more than
a just price, more than a price that
will sustain our industries, must be
paid; that it is necessary to pay very
liberal and unusual profits in or
der to •stimulate' production; that
nothing but pecuniary rewards will
do—rewards paid In money, not in
the mere liberation of the world. I j
take it for granted that those who;
argue thus do not stop to think what
that means. Do they mean that you
must be paid, must be bribed, to
make your contribution, a contribu
tion that costs you neither a drop
of blood nor a tear; when the world ,
is in travail and ihen everywhere :
depend upon and call to you to bring
them out of bondage and make the ,
world a fit place to live in again
amidst peace and justice? I>o they
mean that you will exact a price,
drive a bargain, with the men who
are enduring the agony of this war ,
on the battlefield, in the trenches,
amidst the lurking daggers of the ;
sea, or with the bereaved women
and pitiful children, before you will i
come forward to do your duty and
give some part of your life, in easy
peaceful fashion for the things we
are fighting for, the things we have
pledged our fortunes, our lives, our '
sacred honor to vindicate and de- I
fend—liberty and justice and fair
dealing and the peace of nations?
Many Burdens
"Of course you will not. It is In- i
conceivable. Your patriotism is of;
the same self-denying stuff as the i
patriotism of the men dead or j
maimed on the fields of France, or \
else it is no patriotism at all. Let us j
never then, of profits and of i
patriotism in the same sentence, but
face facts and meet them. Let us
do so under business, but not in
the midst of mist, Many a grievous
burden of taxation will be laid on
this nation, in this generation and in '
the next, to pa? for this war; let i
us see to it that for every dollar i
that is taken from the people's pock- ■
ets it shall be possible to obtain a ,
dollar's worth of the sound stuffs 1
they need.
"Let us turn for a moment to the
shipowners of the United States and
the other ocean carriers whose ex
ample they have followed and ask
them If they realize what obstacles,
what almost insuperable obstacles
they have been putting in the way of
the of this
war by the ocean freight rates they
have been exacting. Thev are do
ing everything that high freight
charges can do to make the war a
failure, to make it impossible. I
do not say that they realize this or
intend it. The thing has happened
naturally enough, because the com
mercial processes which we are con
tent to see operate in ordinary times
have without sufficient thought been
continued into a period where thev
have no proper place. I am not
questioning motives. I am merely
stating a fact and stating it in or
der that attention may be fixed up
on It."
Soldiers Guarding
Bridges Receive Ther
Pay For Month of June
Captain Robert F. Gordon, com
manding Company F, Third Pensyl
vania infantry. National Guard, has
received pay warrant from regimen
tal headquarters at Altoona for the
month of June. That the quartering
of a military company In this town
is no small item from a financial point
of view is attested by the fact that
the salaries run about $2,500, about
one-half of which is distributed to
the soldiers at Newport, the balance
to detachments at Duncannon, Port
Royal ajid Marysville, and other sta
tion*. A fair portion of this money
is spent in the town by the soldiers.
It is a well-known fact that a soldier
is a good spender when he has any
money. The check for last month's
pay forwarded to Captain Gordon
totaled 12,430.67. This does not in
clude the salaries of the commis
sioned officers who are paid by
voucher or that of men on detached
service for recruiting duty in Phila
delphia. the men attending the offi
cers training camp at Fort Niagara
or those who are married and have
made an allotment, to their families.
The amount of money which is ex
pendedpended for provisions at 40
cents per day when cooking facilities
are available amounts to approxi
mately S2OO every five days. The
money expended when cooking facili
ties are not available amounts to ap
proximately $750 In which case meals
are purchased.
The check for $2,480.67 represented
the first salary since the new pay rat
ing went Into effect June 1. Privates
who had received sls per month now
receive S3O; privates first class who
received $lB now receive $33; corpo
rals receiving s2l now receive $36:
sergeants receiving S3O now recelvfe
S3B, while the first sergeant, who re
ceived s4o per month, now receives
ssl.
