Lower BREAD PRICES
aim OF ASSOCIATION
American Home Economies Body
Presents Brief to Hoover.

A drive to lower the price Of bread
was started yesterday when the
American Home Economics Associa-
tlon presented the consumers view
point TO the Food Administration.
In q brief to the committee on
prices they pointed out that:
A change OF 10 cents a bushel in
wheat adds 80 cents a barrel to the
cost Of flour.
Only the very efficient baker can
produce a pound loaf OF bread for 5
cents when wneat goes above SIS.
Wheat records Of the past show
that s. wheat has not been quoted
since the civil war.
The association declared that in
creased bread prices are a daily war
tax on the poor that may lead to
would prove serious matters. Dis
affection is already apparent. the as
sociation said
fixed be not based on the ARTIFICIAL
factors which led to The recent rise
in wheat to points above s..
They pointed out that If peace were
declared, or with the reserves in
Australia, India, and Russia re eased,
there would be enough wheat to sup
ply Western Europe, and leave q
surplus in this country which would
demoralizs prices.
Concluding. the association urged
an equitable decision on the wheat
price based on a Cancellation OF the
interest OF the producer, distributor
and consumer.
