HIGH FOOD PRICES
NOT UNSUITABLE
Out of All Proportion to the
Shortage Of Supply
Farmers and Producers Getting Only
Relatively Small Part Of the
Results From Big Increase
BY BASIN NJ. MANLY.

Washington. Nov. Prizes Of all
kinds Of foOd-tuffs advanced more rap
IDLY during the past month than during
any similar period in che memory of
this generation except during those OF
the Letter and Hutchis1u corners.
Wheat advanced from SIS on Oe-
tober >. TO 81 90 on October 80, or TWEEN
ty per cent. while flour advanced from
an average of $50 to $500. or ten per
cent. Bread prices advanced irregularly
all over the country, and in many cities
exceeded the advance IN the price of
flour, even when comparison is made
with normal prices. In some cities by
combination reducing the size of the
loaf and increasing the price, the actual
cost per pound to the consumer was
raised sixty-five per cent
As nearly as can b. determined the
extent to which bread prices have been
raised in different cities was determined
by the strength OF the local bakers as
sociation as compared with the aggres-
siveness and vigilance OF the housewives
For the fundamental cause of the price
increases we must go back TO the worlds
crop shortage. There is no question
about the reality OF the shortage of
every important crop. The only ques-
tion is whether the shortage is great
enough to Justify the phenomenal price
increase.
Worlds Supply Fixes Pnoe.
Wheat is the worlds great food. and
its price is fixed. not by the supply in
any one country. but by the worlds
supply.
The most reliable estimate that of the
International Institute of Agriculture.
places the 1916 worlds supply Of wheat
at twenty-five per cent below the enor.
nous harvest of 1915 and seven per cent
below normal
II this estimate - correct, anil there
Is every reason TO acc-rt it in prefer,
once to the inspired T-css statements o:
speculation, it secIss unquestiCnablc
that wheat and flour prices are far
above the justifiahlc level.
There are other considerations that
give great weight 10 thi. opinion.
In the first place, m rery European
country the entire h''sross OF wheat
handling has been taken ever a. a gov
ernment monopoly. This means Great
economy in its distribution. and eorsc-

worlds great wheat authority, reported
that the United Kingdoms supplies of
native and foreiga wheat afloat and
ashore were sufficiant TO last sewn

ton. or twelve months at reduced nate.
Third, the enormous losses OF r,en at

Keep every local committee intact
Get your legislative committees ready

an organization exists. Do not take
chances of causing confusion by avoid
ing contact with the workers in other

no central body, organize local joint
legislative committees under the juris-
diction of the local unions of the town
