Hope for Standard Price.

1t is the hope of the food administra =
tion that the bakers themselves. with
the price of wheat fixed by the govern
ment and with profit of % cents on
each barrel of flour agreed upon by the
millers. Will come to some agreement
that will tend toward standard loa f
and standard price. But even such a
price would vary in different sections.
owing to divergent transportation facili
ties, labor supply and other contingent
cies.
If the government should license the
bakers. the most the food administra-
tion could do would be to keep close
watch on the individual bakers to see
that they are performing their function
efficiently. without undue waste in
utilization of material or distribution,
and to see to it that, baker is reaping
an unreasonable profit. Under the
license system if bakers were found
guilty of any of these practices. their
licenses would be withdrawn.

CUT IN BREAD PRICE

ton Hoped For.
FEDERAL POWER LIMITED

Bread prices this winter will be as
low as cost OF production and distri-
button, plus a reasonable profit to the
baker, will permit This price is eX-
pected to be below the present bread
cost to the consumer.
This much, and only this mach. is
considered certainty by the food ad-
ministratiou at the present stage of
the negotiations with the master
bakers.
Today the food administration is in
possession of the full details of the
proposals made by the emergency war
council of the Master Bakers Associa :
ton, which concluded its sessions yes
<erday after meeting almost continu-
ously. with only enough time out for
food and sleep since Monday morning.
There is no intention on the part of
the food administration either to fix a
standard loaf or standard price for
bread The administration has no
power under the law to do so. The
public seems to be misinformed on this
point, food administration officials Sa id
today judging by the constant influx
of letters and kilograms suggesting
minimum prices for various commodi-
ties.
No Power to Fix Prices.
Il wish it could be understood, once
for all that the food control bill. nor
any other legislation. gives the food
administration the power to fix prices" :"
said an assistant to Herbert c. Hoover
today. Even in the case of wheat the
only price fixing done was that by a
special committee. named by the Presi-
dent, to name a price at which govern
ment would buy wheat. Indirectly. of
course, the price fixed a standard wheat
price.
But in no case is the food admins
tration given power TO fix prices nor
even to set hard and fast limitation
upon profits universally applicable"
the only power held by the food ads
ministration is that of licensing all the
bakeries in the country. Whether that
will be resorted to will be dependent
upon whether the food administration.
after investigation should find that the
proposals of the master bakers permit
them to make an excessive war time
profit. 1t was stated today that the
proposals made. upon the basis of pres
ent information, seem reasonable. But
