FOOD DESTRUCTION
CHARGED BY STONE
Missouri Senator Declares
Spectators Are Deliber-

SUGGESTS DRASTIC ACTION

mandeer Cold Storage
Plants
MASUlNGTnN. MnN 3

Charging that cold storage concerns in
the United states are actually destroying
food i'm their plants and on the farms in
order to keep up prices. Senator Stone Of
Missouri today suggested that the Govern
ment commander these plants during the
war, or place them under supervision.
stones accusation came during wide
range discussion of the embargo provision
of the Administrations espionage bill.
II am reliably informed--so reliably that
I believe it is actually true. stone said.
"that cold-storage managers not only take
food out of their own plants and destroy
Il in order to keep up prices, but 60 out
into the country and buy food in field and
sardens-and then allow it TO rot in the
sround.
SHOULD it not be made a crime for these
and other buyers 10 destroy healthful foods
of any kind before they had been properly
Inspected and condemned
stone declared that the cold storage bus-
ness of the country as 1t is now run is a
great public evil"
Taken along with Senator Borah's strong
denunciation OF the packing interests. it is
now obvious that the Senate is in the mood
TO take the most drastic action in the his
tory of the country to curb speculation in
the price OF foodstuffs.
That bills will be introduced empowering
the Government to commander packing
and cold-storaGe plants during the war APP
peared assured today.
stone recommended enactment of n law
levying an excise or profits tax all
wholesale and retail dealers in fOodstuffs
which he believed would diminish at
tempts at eXtor;on on the part of the
dealers
We've been hearing much about food
shortage and hunger in this country and
much more about il in other countries" A."
Stone continued. increases in prices here
are artificial. Isn't there some way to pre-
vent it,
~ obviously the food situation is paramount
IN the minds Of the Senate now. 1t ran in
termittently throughout the entire debate
today.
