Minimum Price Explained.

The explanation of these opinions was
given today as follows: Normally to
drive down prices means 1essened pro-
duction. But the major problem is
with shortage of food and high prices
are Complementary to that Therefore
TO keep production up to normal il may
be necessary to fix guaranteed price.
But the price should be fixed after a
careful study OF the economic situa-
ton. and not by legislation brought
about by pressure OF strong agricul-
tural interests.
1t is asserted that history bears out
the belief that maximum price fixing
never is feasible. II it could be done
as il is in the case of public utilities,
on the basis of cost of production with
an allowance for fair profit, it might
be tenable. But food demand, produc-
tion and consumption are so variable
that any price must be arbitrary. The
minute the expenses of production fall
below the cost OF such productions
plus a profit. the growers. middle men,
distributors and rest of those involved
are going to cease putting that COM
modify on the market.
The most recent example of the fu-
tility of price fixing to the consumer, it
was stated. was in Germany. where the
pronunciation of maximum prices for
milk drove farmers to feed the milk
to swine and even throw 1t away
rather than sh1D it 70 citas=At 4 loss.

High-Price Sins Under Cover.

Economists point out that a multi
tude of high-price sins may be covered
under the cloak of the old slogan,
"supply and demand" Supply and de-
mand operates as force to stabilize
and normalize prices only when both
are unrestricted. 1t does not make
for lower prices. is the contention, if
there is large production. with a
high percentage of this production held
in storage for the time when the supply
is lessened.
The way the food administration
will be empowered. to cope with these
forces of supply and demand, If the
Senate and House conferees come to an
agreement on anything nearly like the
Lever bill. is drastic. 1t is described by
one economist as IAN abnormal meas
ure to normaliZe an abnormal condi-
ton" 1t is like nothing which the
United States. with its principle of un
restricted competition. has ever before
attempted.
The teeth" of the Lever bill are
contained in two clauses. known as the
licensing clause" and the 'hoarding
clause" The first. broadly speaking,
requires middlemen. such as whole
salers- cold storage men and elevator
them under direct regulatory power
of the government. The second gives
the government power to order the
release of commodities held in storage,
when the demand justifies such re-
lease. and prevents their being held un-
til an abnormaliy high price prevails
