BURMA RICE TRADE:

Langoon, February 11.-The Government of Barms has isanedi a lengthy statement in reply to NUMZKIS memorisis received: from cultivators regarding the control of export and the fixture of price. The memorials asserted that action

The statement argues:-On the contrary, both last year's action in fixing the price of paddy and this year's in ring al maximum export price for rice have benefitted the produce, the temporary fall in paddy last year

below the buring price bein: $80 attributed to the large quantity of 1917 crop carried out and to the lack of shipping, while later! in the year, the price rose far] above that at which millers could bay to fulfil contracts, the rise being the computed result of in- ereased shipping and a brisk de- mani for rive from several quarters

This year's scheme is due to the failure of the crops in India following a world-wide shortage of food grains. The Government of India have been compelled to

The supply of cheap power will rean higher wages and shorter hours for the workers. The wages paid increase with the amount of power used. In the United States the amount of power employed per worker is double that employed in Great Britain, with the result that the American worker, draws higher wages, lives under better condi- tions, and has more money to

spend. The cure for low wages

is more motive power.
