Lack of Supplies
Forces Groceries
ToQuit Business
Official Predicts SO Per
Cent of Stores in Brook
lyn VIII Soon Close

Scores Of retail grocery stores IN
Brooklyn have been forced out OF bust
ro.s I'm tho last few weeks because
tbcy could not obtain foodstufs from
wholesalers and jobbers. according 70
Peter Becker president Of the Brook
len Retail Grocers' Association. If the
situation does not improve 50 per cent
Of the grocery stores in Brooklyn Will
be- closed within few months Mr.
Becker declared yesterday.
The situation is said to be nearly as
had in Manhattan. Small dealers com
nlain that wholesalers are refusing 70
make deliveries to them. Some declare
that the wholesalers prefer to handle
big orders for export.
Another factor that is helping 70
drive the small retailers out OF ousl-
ness is the increasing cost OF LABOR
Employos who formerly made 50 or slo
q week arc now being paid Si5 because
Of the increased cost Of living. The
ascending prices OF foodstuhs are
forcing consumers TO practise economy
which is reducing the amount OF pu9l-
ness done by the grocery stores.
"Our association appointed a commit
too some time ago to investigate tnla
question and find a remedy, but we as
covered there il none" said Mr.. Becker.
"Tne wholesale grocers and JoDoers
have been selling such large quantities
Of food 10 the warning countries abroad
that thew have had comparatively NIUE

that the United States government mas
entered the market for enormous quah-
titles of foodstufs, the situation mas
become even more serious.
"a grocer's normal profit Is only
about 10 per cent" Mr.. Becker contih-
ued. "When you consider the increase
in wages 20 their employees, whlch mas
amounted to about 80 per cent, the de-
crease in their business and the IN
crease IN their various miscellaneous
oxponses. is il any wonder they are
failing every day? Canned tomatoes
that used 70 cost the grocer 80 cents
or 81 q dozen. now cost him S2.25
cozen. Canned corn. that used TO cost
about 81 dozen. now brings 81 a
dozen Wholesale. And it IS impossible
to get adequate supplies even at those
prices.

McAdoo Asks Aid
Of Whitman for
Loans to Farmers

Washington. May THE Treasury
Department made public tonight let
ter written by Secretary McAdoo TO
Governor Whitman, urging that the
New York Legislature be asked to pass
an act enabling New York savings
banks, insurance companies and private
trustees and guardians TO invest in the
Federal farm loan bond issue, designed
to provide funds for long term loans to
farmers. Flotation of the issue. the
Secretary wrote, is Of great importance
because "a grave emergency confronts
the United States and the world, calling
for the use of every facility and re-
source to increase farm production"
The letter revealed that the Secretary
had made two previous futile requests
that the New York Governor give the
measure his Endorsement.

British troops have captured an

east Of Messines, together with seven
field guns and prisoners, according
to the official report from British
headquarters. The Italians have be-
gun an offensive in the region south
east of Trent and have captured two
important points of vantage from the
Austrians issued today. Monte Orti-
CARA, east of Gina Undice, and the
Agnello pass both were taken, in adj
dition to more than 500 prisoners.
Following the example of the

territory. The defense Of the exist

of respect for international agree
