Socialists Declare Food Costs
Are UnbearabIe to Poor
of Country.
DEMAND GOVERNMENT
FIX MAXIMUM PRICES
Would Make Every War Profit for
Wholesale and Retail Trades
Impossible.

BERLIN. via London, November g.
Inc Vorwaerts. organ Of the German
social democratic party. publishes a
'"o-column pronunciamento from tho
executive committee Of the social DEM
ocratic party. declaring that the gov
eminent measures thus far for the reg
ulation OF the food supply and prices
are only half measures 1t demands the
liking of maximum prices for all inn
portant foodstuffs. prices SO adjusted
that every war profit for the producer,
in wholesale as well as retail trades. Is
made impossible. and even the poorest
are placed in a position to obtain the
necessaries of life required for their
nourishment"
Rise in Prices Undesirable.
The pronunciamento begins as fol-
lows:
The rise in the prices Of foodstunts
mas become unbearable. The prices of
all important provisions and other ar
ticles of daily necessity, such as fuel
clothing and footwear, have reached an
exorbitant height. with anxious fears
the people OF the laboring class and up
to the circles of the middle classes look
forward to approaching winter Al
ready bitter need rules in many fami-
lies.
Must there be SO much selfish lust
for gain. and capitalistic greed OF
prohts rage unrestrainedly in the un-
refined free play of forces? Must mil
lions be in want so that those shame
less producers and dealers who coolly
take advantage of war conditions can
enrich themselves at the nations costf'
Foodstuffs Held Adequate.
The, pronunciamento answers the
foregoing questions in the negative.
1t says that the foodstufss on hand are
adequate, but that they must be right
ly distributed. The prices for swine
just established. it claims, are too
high and beef prices are not regu-
lated.
The committee demands, in addition
to the fixing of prices for other food
stufrs, also IAN equal distribution Of
the foodstuffs on hand in equal ra-
lions among. all the empires inhabit-
ants. as Is done with bread. in order
to avoid preferential treatment of the
rich, who are able to pay"
