A Gluf Of Produce: High Prices.

FROM Public Ledger, Philadelphia.
No more utter and humiliating failure
RI modern civilization is to be found
than that presented by the existing con-
ditions in the produce market. There
issomething glaringly wrong and shame
fully Inefficient in system of distribu-
lion which prevents vast urban popula-
lions from sharing the benefits Of the
abundant gifts of bountiful nature.
When fruits and vegetables are being
sold for mere song or permitted to GO
70 waste IN the fields by the farmers
because of an almost unprecedently
productive season, this cheapening Of
food supplies is hardly reflected at all in
the retail prices, and prompts the in
quiry, wherein lies the fault for SO reck.
less and sinful waste?
The problem is much too complicated
for any oifhand judgment as to the cause
81 conditions SO anomalous, or as to the
responsibility for commercial methods
which rob the producer and the con-
sumner alike Ii the farmer is improvi-
dent and produces crops for which there
IL no demand, he has no right to COM
plain; but is it right TO assume that there
Is no demand when there are thousands
.of underfed, poverty stricken people
within few hours distance of his fields !?
There is very broad margin between
what farmer might be willing to accept
for his produce in time of great plenty
and the price which the housewife is
compelled to pay in Philadelphia. Who
gets the profit? Is it wholly out of
proportion TO the service rendered in
bringing the products of the soil to the
consumer? Are the methods of trans
portation organized to meet such condi-
lions as the present, and if not, why
not? Have the possibilities of trolley
freight lines been fully tested, and if
not, why not? Are the middlemen
necessary factors in the machinery of
getting food supplies from the farm to
the kitchen? II not. what agencies can
be created to replace them, guaranteeing
just treatment both to the man who
produces and he who buys?
These are all vitality important ques-
tons, suggested by conditions which
reveal shocking waste of energy and
Of material. If in times of exaggerated
plenty the consumer receives no sub
stantial benefit, there must be some
hing radica ly wrong which it is the |
business Of an enlightened community
TO correct. We must get rid of the |
notion that because things have always
been done in particular way that is |
he only way inwhich they can be done.
When valuable food is deliberately |
destroyed by the carload because it |
does not pay" to send it to market, it |
Is high time civilization asked of itself |
ionae searching questions and sought to |
ind in the answers remedy for condi- /
'ions which are in themselves sufficiently |
:ondemnatory.

DENIES BUSTERS" ARE DEAD.
Attorney General Declares Trust
Laws Will Be Enforced.

Attorney General Gregory denied yes.
terday that trust-busting is a lost art al
the Department OF Justice. He said:
THE suggestion In an article in the
morning newspapers that the departing
Is relaxing efforts to enforce antitrust
laws because of recent adverse decisions
by lower courts, or for other reasons. is
without founda ton"
OF course, 1t has not been expected that
plain violations Of the Sherman law
would be ignored by the Department OF
Justice or that Attorney General Gregory
would acknowledge publicly that the &C.
tivity Of his department would be cur
tailed. The fact Of the matter Is that
there already has been a distinct let
down in the activity Of the department
SO far as beginning new proceedings are
concerned
What Is becoming more apparent daily
in Washington Is that the Department OF
Justice, as we'll as other trust-bustins
agencies here are now refraining from
further uncertain and experimental at
tacks upon business. There Is no longer
any intention to try new schemes In
smashing the trusts and by court pro-
ceedings to explore the so-called twilight
zone Of the Sherman law.
