LET'S HAVE A REAL ONE


The federal trade commission l
about to start an Investigation OF tn
rise in food prices. 1t will ask tn
president to approve an appropriation
of 100000 for that purpose. 1t pro
poses to cover every side of the fooC
situation, says the Chicago Herald.
Good! Let US hope at last we arr
going to have real investigation. The
country has confidence in the federal
trade commission. Now let's have the
facts. Let's go TO the Bottom-to the
Northumberland really learn nj
that can be learned about the subject
The problem is legal and economic
The question of whether there arc
combinations in restraint of trade
must be decided. That has heretofore
attracted the main attention. Now it's
time 20 go more into the economic part
- and go into 1t thoroughly. Are the
people being compelled to pay too
much for what they buy? Nobody can
answer that until he can say with rea-
sonable approximation what il costs
to produce those things.
In some fields the trade commission
will find plenty of data. The packers
for instance. can tell 1t exactly what
1T costs them to turn out their prod
ucts. Government attention has en-
couraged accurate cost accounting in
their case. But these fields are limit
ed. In the biggest fields of all the
work will have to be done from the
ground up. There isn't farmer in
Illinois who knows what it costs him
to put his product on the market to-
day. There isn't one manufacturer In
ten who has an accurate idea of what
II costs him to run his business.
Let the trade commission start lit.
orally, from the ground up" Let it
start with the farmer and find what
production of everything, from eggs to
wheat and cattle. means in terms of
money and labor expenditure. He
doesn't know, and nobody else knows.
ASS - AOi'ON Ailt DlOuuCl 10 con-
sumption. 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 Der-
manently below the cost of production
under any circumstances.
The country Is in the mood for an in
vestigation that will be long and deem
and thorough. II is tired of these con.
tinued flurries about high prices that
get nothing except possibly a politician
clan into congress or some other lob
or into the newspapers. 1t has had
Its fill of halfbaked remedies that
spring from attention to only one.bajf
OF the great problem. Let's have an
investigation that will enable the coun.
try to see II steadily and see il whole.
