Retailers for Food Control.

On the face of things it may surprise
many persons to know that the retail
ers are generally most vigorous. in the
advocacy of food control. 1t was ex-
planned by one of their number, a re-
tail grocer of national note, that the
retailers want stabilized prices. They
are subject to free and vigorous COM
petition, and investigation has shown
they have not profited abnoEmally by
high prices.
Statements issued frequently from Of
fetal sources in Washington have
shown wider divergence between re-
tail and wholesale prices from year to
year for periods of from five to ten
years. But these statements have all
explained that this divergence was
caused not by increasing profits to the
retailer, but to the increasing cost of
distribution, which includes delivery,
carriage and all the items which con-
sumers are being asked to aid in elm
mating.
Most ardent advocates of food con-
troll state frankly that much of the
high cost of living, which leads directly
to the doors of the wholesalers, COM
mission men and cold storage ware
houses, Is not to be blamed on their
premeditated manipulation Of prices.
but on a faulty distribution system.
When cattle, raised in Virginia. for
example, is sent to Chicago to be
slaughtered. put in cold storage and
then retailed in Washington. 1t is not
that any one is getting abnormal profits
that makes the meats high, but the
heavy cost of a highly cumbersome ar
rangement for getting the meat from
producer to consumer.

lForEirst Time in

For the first time since he has
been in the majors, Bill Wambs
ganss. Indians second baseman,
yesterday was put out of game.
He is of the easy going, level
headed, type that usually just
grins over decisions that would
cause a majority of players to
raise a storm of protest.
Wamby incurred the penalty
without having said a word. In
the first inning, with Speaker on
third, Roth on second and one out,
Wamby was called out on strikes
by Umpire Connolly. He stepped
away from the plate without so
much as even looking at the ar
bitter. and disgustedly hit at the
ground with his bat. This in it
self would not have caused him to
be banished. but the swipe at the
soft earth surrounding the bat
ter's box sent a cloud of dust
into the face of Connolly, who
whipped off his mask and ordered
the athlete off the grounds VAN

itation, and still without looking
at the arbitrator. 1t is not ex-
pected Wamby will be out of the
lineup long, as there is doubt
whether the dirt shower given
Connolly was intentional.

Never a Political Slogan.

Members of Congress and officials in
Washington are being bombarded with
these questions. Production and dis
tribution of food is the most elemental
thing in which citizens engage. yet it
has never figured in a political cam
paign. The average citizen knows more
about the tariff and the federal reserve
bank system. and those are highly COM
pick propositions. than he does about
food regulation.
To answer some of these questions The
Star has sought to get a definition of
food control aims from supporters of
the legislation now pending in Congress.
The answers sound like lessons in eco
Monies. subject highly technical. which
Mr. Average Citizen bothers himself
little about.
AS explained by men who are spon-
sors for the food control program, as
summarized in the original Lever bill
and denatured very largely, it is as
serted, in the Senate bill the whole
food program is comprehensive and
simple.
1t rests on the basic economic propo-
sition that prices and supply are best
regulated by the normal easy flow of
commodities, through ordinary chan
nels of trade, fluid and unrestricted
by holdings for higher prices or manip-
Ulatlon of any sort.
