As to seized stocks.

l suggest that requistioned stocks
OF forestalling wholesalers-and there
ought to be great bulk of such food
stuf1s already in the hands OF the
authorities-shall be sold in the first
instance at wholesale prices to isolat-
ed shopkeepers, and not directly to
the public Only in the event OF the
local failure OF duty should the direct
course be taken.
It must be remembered that the
whole of the present stress for food
is an artificial stress, due to the We
hement selfishness Of vulgar-minded,
prosperous people and to tne base
cunning of quiet exceptional mer-
chants.
But under the strange and difficult
and planless conditions OF today quite
a few people can start a rush and
produce an almost irresistible pres
sure.
The majority of the people who
have boarded and foreetalled have
probably done so very unwillingly and
because Others will do it."
Would Welcome Action.
They would welcome any authorits-
tive -action that would enable them to
disgorge without feeling that some
body else would instantly snatch what
they had surrendered and, for that
reason, we must at once organize the
communicating and requisitioning OF
boards and reserved goods.
The mere threat probably will pro-
duce q great relaxation Of the situa-
ton, but che threat must be carried
to the point OF having everything
ready, as soon as possible. to seize
and sell and distribute. Until this Is
done this food crisis will wax and
wane, but It will not cease. II, with
certain harsh promptness we do not

this war are even now fighting gal
lantly for our land, behind the sroc-

shops, and they may end, II not In the

Wholesalers have, 1 know, in many
cases betrayed them not simply by
putting up prices, but by suddenly
stopping their customary credits, and
this last week has seen some dismal
nights Of sleepless worry in the little
bedrooms over the isolated grocery
stores.
While we look to syndfcated shops
to do their duty, it Is of the utmost
importance, also, that We should not
permit the massacre of the small
tradespeople. A catastrophe to the
