The Federal Trade CommlS-
sion is about to start an investl-
cation of the rise in food prices.
1t will ask the President to APP
prove an appropriation of $400,-
900 for that purpose. 1t propos-
es to cover every side of the food
situation.
D.. Goodl Let US hope at last we
are going to have a real lnvestl.
CATION. The country has con-
fdence in the Federal Trade
Com mission. Now let's have the
facts. Let's go to the bottom
to the fundamentals-and really
learn all that can be learned
about the subject.
The problem IS legal and
economic. The question of
whether there are com binations
in restraint of trade must be de-
cided. That has heretofore at
tracted the main attention. Now
it's time to go more into the
economic part-and go into it
thoroughly. Are the people be-
ing compelled to pay too much
for what they buy2 Nobody can
answer that until be can say
with reasonable approximation
what it costs to produce those
things.
In some fields the trade COM
mission will find plenty of data.
The packers, for instance, can
tell 1t exactly what it costs them
to turn out their products. Gov
ernment attention has encourag.
ed accurate cost accounting in
their case. But these fields are
limited. In the biggest fields of
all the work will have to be done
from the ground up. There
isn't a farmer in Illinois who
knows what it 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.
Let the trade CON mission start
literally "from the ground up"
Let it start with the farmer and
fad what production of every
thing, 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 consumption. Many |
people assume high prices don't
start until they reach some large /
organization. From the economic |
standpoint they are just as liable
to START at the beginning as any
where else. Prices cannot be
permanently below the cost of
production under any circum-
stances.
The country is in the mood for
an investigation that will be long
and deep and thorough. 1t is
tired of these continued hurries
about high prices that get moth
ing except possibly a politician
into Congress or some other job
or into the newspapers. 1t has
had it's fill of half-baked remedies
that spring from attention to
only one half of the great prob
lem, Let's have an investigation
that will enable the country to
see it steadily and see 1t whole
