BODY TO
PROBE PRICES
OF LOCAL RICE
Especial Gable to Eippu Jiio

To undertake an investigation OF
the rice situation in the islands, ap,
parently with view to ascertaining
whether a conspiracy is afoot to regu,
late prices, the territorial food com
mission expects to hold a meeting
either tomorrow or Thursday morn
ing. ...-
- The subject is to be taken up, it
was announced today, at the urgent
request of several residents Of Hepo-
lulu who have written to the coMnis
sion calling attention to fluctuating
prices which have been prevailing,
especially on imported japanese rice.
during the last few months, and init
mating the presence of a "Sigger in
the woodpile" as regards the prop
osition.
A. L. Dean, executive officer of the
commission, has investigated the rice
price to some extent through the
county agent, and said today that he
had not found anything which would
lead him to believe conspiracy was
afoot to regulate prices, as, at the
present time, Hawaiian rice costs
more than the imported Japanese
product. Hawaiian rice is now sell
ing at about 81 a hundred pounds,
while imported japanese rice is bring
ing about $3.50 a hundred pounds.
The food commission has been given
to understand that, on recent ship
ment of Japanese rice, a charge of
about $55 ton was made for freight
age by the steamship company and
this, in the opinion of Mr.. Dean, might
account for rise in the cost of the
rice In Honolulu. This freight rate is
considered abnormal, and a factor
over which the food commission has
no control
Mr.. Dean explains that, during the
last few months, the price of rice has
advanced to from Sc to $3.50 a hun
dred pounds, while three years ago
the price for the same rice ranged
from So to $3.50 hundred pounds.
j The question has arisen whether
the food commission, if it was able,
would find 1t worth while to investi-
gate the present high prices, or cut

Aside from the members, others
present were James D. Dole, chairman,

members OF the woman's committee
are: Mrs. A. c. Alexander, chairman;

Great interest Is being shown by
the women in their new work, and
plans were laid which may result In
the appointment of committees Of

In cooperation, with the central com
mittee at Honolulu. E# !. >
One Of the principal suggestions Of.
Tered was that the women Of the ter
ritory be urged to use Hawaiian prod
ucts wherever possible In place of
coast products. It was suggested that
the women demand Hawaiian prod
ucts, in preference to imported COM
modities, when marketing. This, It
was pointed out, would tend to. stimu.
ate Hawaiian industries, keep money
h the territory and cut down to q
degree the present de-
nand on shipping.
The problem Of conserving the Ha-
vaii meat supply was also discussed.
rhis, it was explained, could be done
I each family would enforce upon It
,elf q small curtailment of its usual
beef consumption each week. In this
It was suggested that each
person eat a quarter of q pound less
IL beef each week.
Assuming that the production of
beef Is the same now as 1t was in
Ls16, and that the consumption is the
Iame, Il was pointed out that, In order
b avoid importation, 1t would be
for each person to eat a
quarter Of q pound less Of beef each
week, assuming, again, that only so
,er cent Of the population eats beef.
Another way to cut down on beef,
I was suggested, il by using less meat
Dut combining It with some other
,roduct. Mrs. Alexander offered the
Iuggestion that .cornmeal might be
mixed with flour to conserve the sup
,Iy of flour. Cornmeal, she added,

BRITISH MUNITIONS CONTRACT
EXPLAINED

Washington, January 21-Secretary
Daniels issued statement touay ex-
planning and defending his action in
awarding to Hadfield Limited, Brit
ish munitions company, contracts for
projectiles at a price about 5000 each
below the lowest Americon bid. The
statement is in reply to published COM
ment upon the contract, which Mr..
Daniels says "convinces me that q
concise statement of the experiences
OF the department in obtaining shells
equal in quality to those used by for
eign navies at a reasonable price is
necessary to enable the public to un-
derstand what has been going on
referring TO report in certain
American trade journals that the Brit
'sh Government had urged Hadfield to
seek this contract for the purpose of
creating panic in the American steel
market, and reluctant reduction in
the export price Of American steel,
the Secretary said that is patent alb
surdity." as such an order would have
no appreciable affect upon the market.
Mr.. Daniels said the Bethlehem
Steel Company, which has been fill
ing the papers with advertisements
criticising the department" admitted
in one of the publications that it had
failed to make satisfactory shells on a
contract awarded two years ago.
Until it is able to I'LL its contracts"
he added, "it does not become the
Bethlehem Company to criticise the
Navy Department for awarding con-
tracts to manufacturers who can make
shells that meet the tests"

TWO MISTAKES

In Saturdays Ledger we make two
mistakes in the reports of the houses
selling tobacc. We are very sorry
that this happened but 1t was careless
ness OH our part in the proofreading.
In the report Of the Liberty House
we gave their sales as 26,2S0 pounds,
leaving off the figure before the
number. The sales should have read
126,2S0. The Liberty House is selling
great deal of tobacco and all of it
at top prices and we sincerely regret
the mistake.
In the report of the Planters House
we gave the average as $500. This
should have read s1S69. This was
one of the top averages of the season
and the managers Of the house feel
Justly proud of it.
