NEED OF PRICE CONTROL

Of high food prices and the need
for price control. Mr.. Hoover said
1--WE have all listened to the specious
arguments of the siren of high prices
heralded as the mark of prosperity and
to possess economic advantages. 1t is
advocated as a. conservation measure.
1t is true high prices reduce consump-
ton but they reduce 1t through the
methods of famine. for the burden is
thrown onto that class of the most
limited means and thus the class least
able to bear it. There is no national
conservation in robbing our working
classes of the ability to buy food. Real
conservation lies in the equitable dis
tribution of the least necessary amount
and in this country we can only hope
to obtain by voluntary self-denial and
voluntary reduction of waste

for and kept house for the late John
