WAR WAS CHIEF REASON

a preliminary report TO Mayor Mitchell
~ tho executive committee OF the Citi-
zcns Committee on Food supply sets forth
four reasons for the unusual Increase in
the price Of foodstuns during the last
month First in order is the present and
expected demand from abroad. and Sec
ond the heavy buying OF supplies by house
wives against future needs. OF this latter
phase II the problem the report says:
"The amount Of food supplies that has
been bought by housewives In New York
city during tho past three weeks and put
away on their shelves for future needs
would aggregate a very large tonnage--so
large as In Itself TO move up the price
~ such commodities. These purchases
have been made, OF course by people who
have ready cash or good credit and in
making these purchases these people have
actually raised the price of fuodstuffs To
those who have not ready cash, good
credit or storage facilities and your com
mittee wishes In this report to earnestly
appeal to this class Of people to desist
Immediately from stocking up with goods
for future consumption.
There IS no danger of our running out
Of foodstuffs. and people who have cash or
credit can always buy at some price. Your
committee is satisfied that II the more
fortunate housewives who are stocking
mp to-day could realize that they are doing
il at the expense Of the less fortunate
housewives they would gladly cooperate
I'm a movement 10 stop this mad buying
rush"
Other causes assigned for the increase
IN prices are the holding back Of supplies
by the producers and tho stocking up nv
local and village storckccpcrs. II is
averr,d that the latter class has made
unusually heavy demands on the producers
and wholesalers throughout the country.
Dealers Also ONcrstOck.
'Tn addition to this" says the report,
merchants. large and small, have doubt
less done in their sphere what many
housewives have done IN theirs. viz:
bought larger supplies than ordinarily.
There doubtless has been colusion in
some places and In some articles. but
under present laws and conditions II Is
extremely difficult TO reach these latter
cases. which are more within the juris-
dlction of the District Attorney and the
Federal authorities"
In pointing out the heavy burden OF
foreign shipments upon the American
people. Il is said that recommendations
az an embargo have been offered from
various sources. including those people
who are also DESTROYS OF seeing our mer-
chant marine built up and new American
trado routes established The committee
does not fancy this idea. saying that 20
withhold foodstuns from Europe means
paying the heavy American debt in gold
a method which would cripple business.
The committee looks more favorahly
upon the plan TO meet the issue by an
expansion OF American manufactures in
the direction Of food products now almost
exclusively imported. II sees a great OPP
portumiv TO expand businesses that al
ready have made some progress, and
10 initiate lines OF industry heretofore
unknown in this country The committee
recommends that chambers Of commerce
look into these matters and encourage
local enterprise.
