THE PROFITEER-
The startling rise in the price of commodities has been one of the ugliest of our war experiences. It has never been scientifically investigated, and it has not been authoritatively explained. Part of the explanation, the strictly economic part, is not far to seek. It lies in the exigencies of war circumstances; but much of the evil is undeniably due to anti-social and conscienceless profiteering. The proof of this is rear at hand. It is seen in the vastly increased profits of manufacturers distributing panies, and traders. These profits confound all departmental pleas and argument, and prove beyond question the victimisation of the people No theoretical argument and no special pleading en economic grounds can stand up against them. They are the visible and substantial evidence of a soulless battening upon a people's irreducible needs.
The following is the text of the Liberian Order

The position was saved during the war, first, by the patriotic forbearance of masses of the people, and, second, by hasty resort to repeated advances in wages and, at a particular crisis, by a stupendous and economically in defensible State subsidy of bread, This last device was the expedient of a makeshift statesmanship. It was the policy not of reason but of panic. HAPHAZARD ADVANCES. Not much more can be said for the haphazard advances in wages. They were rough, and ready, emergency arrangements, varying in equity, unequal in scope and bedefit, and unrelated to actual physical need If their benefits had been equal, or if they had in all cases provided a true "equivalent for the increased cost of living, they would still have left us with a problem to solve.
