LET'S HAVE A REAL ONE!

The Federal Trade Commission IS
about to start an investigation OF the
rise in food prices. 1t will ask the
President to approve an appropriation
OF $4,000 for that purpose. 1t pro
poses to cover every side of the food
situation, says the Chicago Record
Herald
Good. Let us hope at last we are
going to have real investigation,
The country has confidence in the
Federal Trade commission. Now lets

subject.
The problem is legal and economic
The question OF whether there a.e
combinations in restraint of trauc
must be decided. That has heretofore
attracted the main attention. Now
it's time to go more into the economic
part--and go into it thoroly. Are the
people being compelled to pay too
much for what they buy? Nobody
can answer that until he can say with
reasonable approximation what 1t
costs to produce those things
In some fields the trade commission
will find plenty of data. lne packers,
for instance, can tell exactly what /,
costs them to turn cut their products.
Government attention has encourages
accurate cost accounting in their case.
Put these fields are limited. In the
biggest fields OF all the work will
have tobe done from the ground up
There isn't a farmer in Illinois who
knows what 1t costs him to put his
product on the market today. There
isn't one manufacturer in ten who
has an accurate idea of what it costs
him to run his business.
Lot the trade commission start lit
orally from the ground up" Let it
start with the farmer and find what
production OF everything, from eggs
to wheat and cattle, means in terms
Of money and labor expenditure. He
doesn't know, and nobody else knows.
Then let it follow the product to con
sumption Many people assume high
prices don't start until they reach

where else. Prices cannot be perma-
nently below the cost Of production
under any circumstances.
The country is in the mood for an
