IF WAR ENDS AS ALLIES

London, Oct 3O.-In the house OF

With the large foodstuffs dealers un
der license, the government will be
able to do much more than regulate
prices. 1t will be able to force onto
the market any boards of foodstuffs
held in warehouses and cold storage
plants, to distribute surplus supplies
to points where supplies are short and
otherwise to stabilize market condi
tiOns.
With supply equalized to meet de-
mand, under government supervision
the natural tendency will be for low
er prices. With the government ready
to pcnalize greedy dealers prices will
further tend downward.
Up to date the chief work of the
food administration has been in pre-
paration. 1t has about completed its
regulation through voluntary cooper.

ing q further price rise. 1t is now
ready 10 step in with orders, instead
of requests.
From Nov I, the food administra.
ton will DIRECT what these food
middlemen shall do, not simply re
quest" them to be good.
And any middleman who thinks the
orders will not be enforced should
make a test case
For his own information it might
be said the test case brought by one
English potato dealer cost him a fine
of $l2,500.

By HARRY 3. HUNT.

Washington, ID. G., Oct. 30-lIncle
Sans grip on the food situation tight
ems perceptibly with the placing un
der license, Nov /, of all large food
stuff dealers, from producer to con
sumer.
This license, bringing under gov
ernment regulation meat packers,
grain dealers, storage houses, millerS,
Gamers, grain dealers, brokers, COM
mission men and food wholesalers, al
so covers retailers doing business
Of 100000 per year or more.
This brings under federal control
the larger individual grocers and all
the chain-stOre firms, and means there
will be at least one gOvernment-cOn-
trOlled grocery in every city Of size.
For immediate price control the food
administration has singled out 20
groups of staple commodities on
which regulations will be imposed.
The price or these commodities will
be followed from producer through
the wholesaler and large retailer and
the margin Of profit in each case
exorbitant prices will be deprived Of
their license, without which they can
not continue in business.
The profits to be allowed the vari-
GUS middlemen on the staples selected
have not yet been determined. Food
administration eXperas, busy on the
schedule for weeks; probably will
work it out within 10 days. In the
absence of exact established margins
the food administration will act upon
all case; in the light of whether the
profits exacted are reasonable"
1t is the hope, eventually, to fix an
official price range for all commodi-
ties, announcing the prices weekly or
oftener as changes in supply and de-
mand justify. These prices would be
carried in all newspapers, the way
Chicago and New York produce prices
heretofore fixed by the dealers them
selves have been announced. This
fixing of specific prices, however, has
been complicated by the necessity of
meeting regional conditions of supply
and transportation, and by the many
grades that would have to be covered
in some communities 1t is expected
ultimately a government price list will
show the housewife eactly what her
retailer is paying. She will then
know if he attempts to charge an ex-
cess profit.

under federal control by the licenses
