WHOLESALE. GR0CERS
7. COMMEND CONGRESS
FOR FOOD DISCUSSION

Chicago: June 2O.-Men who have
had much to do with handling the
nations food supply were here today,
when the Liberty convention" of the
National Wholesale Grocers'. associa.
tion was formally called to order.
Theodore F. Whitmarsh, president
of the organization, paid tribute
to those at Washington engaged on
the food problem and the earnest-and
efficient manner in which the mem.
bers of the administration put in long
hours at their task. z ~
To Assist Government.
Mr.. Whitmarsh recounted that the
association is. a war council assigned
to carry out the pledge of the grocers
to assist the government in every pos.
sible way. He advocated that author
ity to conduct all phases of the war
be centralized in q competent few.
Mr.. Whitmarsh paid his respects
to those who would curtail exports
by. asserting that such a project
would be unfair, unfriendly and un'
thinkable." On the subject of "bust.
ness as usual" Mr.. Whitmarsh said:
We must help to correct, the er'
roneous notion prevailing as to the
sort Of economy necessary under ex-
listing conditions. What is required
is the elimination of waste and the
checking of actual extravaganza, not
contraction of business in a general
sense

senting the report of the committee
on pure food legislation, said the as

AS the big league races draw near
the halfway mark it is interesting to
look over the club and figure on their
possibilities and see how they line up
with early season predictions.
With the exception of st. Louis and
Detroit the American league clubs
seem to be going at about the clip
that was expected Of them.
Boston, Chicago and New York seem
to be the best in the league, with
Cleveland trailing, Detroit scrambling

According to one way of looking at
