Have you seen, 
 
Gottfried Haberler, "A New Index Number and its meaning," The Quarterly 
Journal of Economics, vol. 42, no. 3 (May 1928), 434-449. 
 
It has the following statement: 
 
"The general price level is not a given, self-evident fact, but a 
theoretical abstraction." p. 435. 
 
Good luck!
