 Not Securedin Natural Way

|ondon, June 24.-(Special. .)-England is hast preparing to deal with the prob- of food supply as she ought to have |lth with it at the beginning of the F. Forced by the growing discomfort bng the people, who are convinced that E are being robbed by the food profit E, the government has appointed a tmittee to go into the whole question the food supply and if possible find a |edy The membership of the commit is representative of all classes who affected by the present situation, and |Ween them they combine a wide ex- |ence of the problems with which they |e to Ideal. Some of them are Mrs. |nber Reeves, who Is noted as do- btic economist; w. c. Anderson, M. chairman of the executive of the br party, and J. R. Clynes, M. F., also ] Dor member; Prof. w. J. Ashley, who the chair of commerce at the Uni Eity of Birmingham John Roland, M. who represents the Irish farmers and j. producers; R. E. Prothero, M. F., Eff agent for the Duke of Bedford and |authority on English agriculture, and Gilbert Claughton, chairman of the don and Northwestern railway.
 he problem that they have to con- kr is the pressing one of the continu- rising price of food, in spite of the that there is no real shortage. As a tier of fact, more food is being con- he'd in England than ever, but the king classes complain that in spite of rises in wages, which they have ob- led since the war, they are worse off h ever, for the reason that $5 spent on u today only purchases as much as before the war. Some of the prin- kl increases in food prices as com led with those of July, 1914, are as pws
 citish meat, 50 to 60 per cent; bacon, Der cent fish, S6 per cent; milk, 30 cent; margarine, IS per cent; potatoes, IT, bread and cheese, 50 to 60 per cent. FIRST THING TO FIND OUT b far as the committee has outlined programme one of it's first inquiries be to find out to what extent the in- hse in price is due to the shortage of haze, and whether that can be relieved the release of ships now controlled by
 
 k. The government has taken over # cent of all England's merchant ship E and, of course, a large quantity of haze has been destroyed by subma- ks, while the shipyards have been too with manual work to 6o much in the of replacement. An effort will be lie to find out if the government could spare some of the ships it now con Is, by the more careful organization It's shipping work. Many shipping men hare that there is at present great Fte of government tonnage and that the ships are lying idle most of the E. The committee will also consider the |rge that food prices are being un- lily raised by rings of producers and dlemen who take advantage of the conditions to rake in abnormal prof
 at the expense of the people. There ho doubt that this Is so to some ex- E. The price of milk, for instance been raised from 8 cents to 12 cents Iuart, although the price of It's pro |tinn has not gone up at all. In fact
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-16

the last raise was made at the begin ming of summer when the cost of pro- duction was bound to be falling. The operations of the American and Argen- tine meat trusts will also be considered and an effort will be made to devise some plan to check them.
 STATE MAY CONTROL
 Among the proposals which will come before the committee will be the fixing of minimum and maximum prices for food by the state, and another will be the control of all food supplies, even perhaps to the extent of putting the peo- pie on rations. It is generally felt, how ever, that this will not be necessary, as there is no real shortage of supply. What is required is some method of dealing with the people who are taking adyan- tage of the war to make abnormal profits.
 In the meantime Mrs. Pember Reese is preparing mass of evidence for the committee from the housewives point of view. She has collected a number of typical household budgets, showing the cost of feeding family now and before the war, and the impossibility of keeping up the same standard of nourishment for anything like the same money. Mrs. Reeves is particularly severe on the cranks who urge that the workingman s wife should supply him with substitutes for the food he has been accustomed to.
 Appetite must be considered as well as mere nourishment, she said the other day T should like to see the working woman who would put quart of milk before her husband and tell him it was better for him than beef. I would not dare to do so. The fact is that there is plenty and something must be done to check these horribly high prices"
