is that loyalty to teachers. Students

BRITISH SUPPRESS
FOOD PROFTTEERTNG
Spectators Curbed by Sys-
tenn of Fixing Maximum
Prices on Staples
FINE ONE FARMER $4,000
By LOWELL MELLETT
nN.n,Ns 80

hVNDpN, oct, -.
Ihe British Government is gradually
getting a strangle hold on the food profit
eers. All Of which explains why il is today
that England-the same England that Cer-
many is trying to make her people believe
is 'beleaguered" and being starved out
is living comfortably, plenteously and. what
is more, cheaply.
Through system Of fixing maximum
prices, which was begun i'm June with no
tatoes and beans the Government now
controls retail prices of all the principal
foods. There are mighty few British re-
tailers or middiemen or producers vino dare
TO attempt prohteerng against the Govern
ment There is a minimum penalty of $500
iine or six months imprisonment or both
And the British food administration isn't
backward about obtaining convictions
One farmer was recently fined Sa5, 900 for
violation of the Governments regulations
No Violators have yet been actually put in
prison, but Lord Rhondda food dictator
threatens just such punishment very soon
The Government has adopted the general
rule not to fix maximum prices in any food
commodity until it is in a position to con-
trol the whole supply--from the field Of
production to the counter.
Just such control is now effective over
bread, flour, meat, potatoes, sugar, tea,
oats products,
In connection with such control svs-
tenn the British Government itself buys all
imports Of the commodities administered
and distributes these imports through reg
ular commercial channels. Private i'm
portations are prohibited, except by spe-
Cial license.
The British Government is also buying
all supplies for the Allies. thus eliminating
interallied competition, which might have
the effect of increasing prices.
Although London's food prices today
average about 120 per cent over those in
effect before the war, they would undoubt-
edly have made an even more tremendous
jump if there had been no governmental
control.
SO far England has not tried compulsory
ratoning, except of hotels and restaurants
and then only on meat, flour and sugar.
The British public is generally respond
ing cheerfully to the food ministrys APP
peals for voluntary rationing in order to
avert the compulsory system. Owing to the
very serious sugar situation. at present
sugar cards are being distributed. The
limitations will become effective On New
Years day. Each person will be limited
to half a-pound Of sugar every week

Canning Factories
GOOD FOOD FOR FIGHTERS

Six Philadelphia experts on packed food
products such as peas, corn and tomatoes
will start Wednesday on a tour of.the fac
tories in Delaware and Maryland to inspect
the tomato and corn packs for the Govern
ment They will report the result of their
findings to Walter y. Timms, Of Austin
Nichols & Co, of New York. who is in
charge OF this matter for the Government.
The Government has Comnlandeered from
i to Is per cent of the total pack Of sixty
five factories in Delaware and Maryland
1t is the purpose of the grocery experts
to obtain the total number OF cases put out
by each factory, and to determine whether
each one Is holding back the proper per-
centage OF that volume for Government use.
One of the principal points that the ex.
perts will LOOK into is the quality of the
corn and tomatoes that the variOus fac.
tories are putting up, 10 Judge whether
they are fit for the use of the army ard
navy
This same group of inspectors has al
ready investigated the recent pack of peas
and pronounced them fit for consumption
by Uncle Sans soldiers and sailors The
tomato and corn packs are the only other
crops that they have been ordered to test
IL is expected that they will find the total
output of the sixty-five facories TO reach
close to 100000 cases, or 4,SOO,OO0 cans of
corn and tomatoes.
