This furnishes to the Food Control
Ter, Mr.. Hoover full, ample and COM
plete authority to prevent, under such
rules and regulations, as may be de-
termined by him, the keeping OF food
products in cold storage to enhance
the prices.
1t is a complete realization of
everything that l have been fighting
for on this subject for the past five
years. Not only has the Food Con-
troller the right to regulate under
ample powers, but the department of
Justice has also a duty to perform,
inasmuch as the act directly prohibits
boarding and fixes fine for $5,000.00
and Imprisonment or both for hoard
ing.
If foodstuffs are held hereafter in
cold storage for the purpose of en-
| HANGING the price thereof, it will be
| because the Food Controller and the
department of justice fail to do their
duty and not because of any fault OF
the law.
In a recent article Admiral Samuel
MCGOWAN gives a graphic account Of
food cold storage spectators under
taking to unload on the navy an i'm
mense surplus" amount of poultry
1 that had been accumulated by it. Why
did the packers accumulate a sur
plus" of poultry? There can be bu
one answer and that answer is de
sire to make in this great crisis al
unconscionable profit.
The meat and egg packers, by
means of cold storage, can keep food
stuffs virtually indefinitely, and il
that way can control the price t,
suit themselves, putting little food
stuff on the market or much food
stuff on the market, as they deer
advisable to their own interests.

frequent repetition distorted it until
the story in certain sections of the

A patriotic elderly woman was

as we'll Can anyone doubt who is
reaping the benefits of these high
prices? Can anyone doubt who is
fixing these high prices? They are
enabled to manipulate these prices
very largely by means of cold stor-
age. Whenever Mr.. Hoover does his
duty in reference to these packers,
and l believe he will do his duty
prices of food products will go down.
At the same time, it might be well
to remind the department of justice
that under this law they do not have
to wait on Mr.. Hoover. The law has
been in effect fortnight or more.
The people are waiting for results,
and they are entitled to have them.
l am hopeful that effective action will
not be delayed.
