FOOD PRICES HIGHEST HERE
Secretary Wilson Says United States
Pays Most for Necessities.
INQUIRY TO BE NATION. WIDE
InvestiEntion Not Confined q Four
Companies First NRmed-Mnny
Concerns TO Come Un-
der scrutiny.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. fit costs
more to get the common necessities Of life
in the United States today than In any
other country In the world"
This startling statement was made to-
night by James Wilson, secretary of agrl-
culture, in an address delivered before the
Manufacturers club Of this city. Secre-
tary Wilson discussed the present food
crisis" In n way that was original and
forceful. Some people," he said, tell US
that II we repeal the present tariff law
to let in foreign products free OF duty
the present difficulty viii cease. l do
not believe it. Eggs are 80 cents a dozen
In Canadian cities and 60 cents a dozen
In some American cities. The duty is 3
cents a dozen. What difference would 1t
make IL you took off that 3 cents or not7'
The secretary further stated that he be-
lieved the American people are suffering
not so much at present from thu high
cost Of living as from the cost Of high
living, his statements being:
1T has been said that an American is
the best fed, best clothed, best educated
and best housed man upon earth. We
shall have to add now that he is the most
extensively fed"
Secretary Wilson pointed out that the
fundamental difficulty was that the peo-
pie are leaving the farms to such an ex-
tent that there are not enough remaining
to produce the food Of the increasing pop
ulation. The boys and girls OF the farm,
he asserted, are being lured away to the
cities to the factories and to the mines
and to too great extent the agricultural
resources Of the country are being neg
lected. He said that he was convinced
that the combinations Of retailers, whole
salers and the like were responsible in
great measure for keeping up OF prices and
that that same influence would be suffl-
Client to control the prices Of products
brought from other countries, even though
the tariff " re removed.
THE education Of the farmer, however,
has been overlooked" he said.
Manufacturing industries have built up
cities, towns and villages, but the growth
Of knowledge of the soil, Of the plant and
the animal has not been fostered. The
young farmer has been educated away
from the farm and from the production
Of food for the people. The school, the
college and the university, which admir-
ably prepare young men and women for
their life work in all other directions, have
forgotten the farmer"
