PRICE-RAISING METHODS

In the Dark

One of the biggest tasks fac- ing statesmen, economists and business men alike at the mo- ment, and one which, more than any other, will command the at- tention of the World Economic Conference when it meets, is the devising of ways and means to bring about an advance in the world price level. The problem is of immense difficulty. Recent ly. Mr. Neville Chamberlian ra- ther hinted that he hoped to get the world back to normal condi- tiona by a series of valorisation schemes, each designed to raise the price of a particular commo- dity or group of commodities. The photographer has In theory, at any rate, it is no reached the stage where he can doubt possible to raise the price use his camera in the dark. of everything in turn by limit- Photography will, therefore, in- ing the supply, though in prac-vade Cimmerian places where tice there are a great many the flashlight fiend has not things whose supply will take a hitherto dared to present him- lot of cornering.
