PRICES DOUBLED IN UNITED
 KINGDOM
(By United Press)

LONDON. Oct 20-The retail cost of food in the United Kingdom has more than doubled since the beginning of the war, says the National Food Journal the organ of Lord Rhondda. the British Food Controller. Some of the causes of this increase are given as follows.
 "The high prices charged in coun- tries from which imports of food are obtained, owing in large measures to either exceptional demand or general shortage in supply. These high pri- ces are outside the control of the Home Government.
 The rise in price due to imitation. which may occur either directly through an increase in currency or more indirectly through the addition al extent to which credit is increased, when loans are raised and the Gov ernment which borrows is large spender.
 The high freight rates on the At lantic routes, the great increase in war-risk insurance, and the difference in rates of exchange"
 The public, of course. suspects pro- fiteering," adds the Journal, and ask what is being done with the middle. men who come in between the re tail purchaser and the consumer The answer is that the predatory middle man without legitimate trade inter- est who buys merely in order to sell at a profit, has been almost eliminat- ed. The necessary middlemau who is merely out to make what he can is being taught that he must not make undue profits out of the nations ne cessity, and Cost Accountants of tte Ministry of Food, with their patrio. tic provincial helpers, have been brought into e&istance for the express purpose of ascertsining what profits are fair and what profits are exces- sive The Food Controller vii fix pro- fit-restricting at every stage"
