FOOD BODY TO
PROBE PRICES
OF LOCAL RICE

To undertake an investigation o:
the rice situation in the islands. az
parently with a view to ascertaining
whether a conspiracy Is afoot to regu,
late prices, the territorial food COM
mission expects to hold meeting
either tomorrow or Thursday morn
lEg.
The subject is TO be taken up. II
vas announced today, at the urgent
request of several residents OF Homo
lulu who have written to the commits
sion calling attention to calculating
prices which have been prevailing.
especially on imported Japanese rice.
during the last few months, and init
mating the presence Of a 'Sigger in
the woodpile' as regards the prop
OsitiOn.
A l.. Dean, executive officer OF the
commission, has investigated the rice
price to some extent through the
county agent, and said today that he
had not found anything which would
lead him to believe a conspiracy was
afoot to regulate prices, as. at the
present time, Hawaiian rice costs
more than the imported Japanese
product. Hawaiian rice is now sell
ing at about 81 a hundred pounds,
while imported Japanese rice is bring
ing about $3.50 a hundred pounds
The food commission has been given
to understand that, on recent ship
ment of Japanese rice, a charge Of
about $50 a ton was made for freight
age by the steamship company and
this, in the opinion of Mr.. Dean, might
account for a rise in the cost of the
rice in Honolulu. This freight rate is
considered abnormal, and a factor
over which the food commission has
no control.
Mr.. Dean explains that, during the
last few months, the price of rice has
advanced to from S. to $3.50 a hun
dred pounds, while three years ago
the price for the same rice ranged
from SO to $3.50 hundred pounds.
The question has arisen whether
the food commission, If it was able,
would find it worth while to investi-
gate the present high prices, or cut
down the prices as Mr.. Dean is Of the
opinion that the local rice industry
should be encouraged to as great an
extent as possible.
At the former price OF $3.50 a hun
dred pounds, it Is pointed out, the
Chinese growers were hardly able to
make a living, were going out Of the
business and the industry was expert
encing a decided slump.
Under the prevailing high prices,
however, there appears to be a re.
juvenation of the rice industry John
Watt, county agent, reports that con-
siderably more rice is being planted
now than in the past, the last crop
having been taken off two or three
weeks ago. He points out that the
Chinese can now grow rice and make
a profit, and that this is proving an
incentive for them to grow more.
Planting ON Oahu is exceptionally
good, says Watt, and he believes this
will pertain to the other islands as
well.
