WARNING AGAINST

WHEAT FLOUR SUBSTITUTES
MUST NOT BE RAISED IN COST.

Atlanta, GA, Feb. DR.. Andrew NJ.
Soulc, Federal Food Administrator for
Georgia, has today issued warning
against any unwarranted increase III
the price of wheat flour substitutes.
Action taken by the Administration
in Washington on which the warnings
from federal administrators in the sew
eral states are based, came only after
food of complaints from practically
every state in the country-some of
this being Georgias eXperience-that
dealers in various substitutes for
wheat flour are taking advantages Of
the victory" or $3.50 program to run
up prices.
Mills of the country are prepared to
meet the greater demand of house
wives and bakers for other cereals
during the next few months Lack of
transportation is the only factor that
will stand in the way of proper distri-
button throughout the country.
At least one of the substitutes is
produced in quantity in almost every
section of the country. If any short
age occurs they will be local and not
due so much to lack of supplies as diff
Guilty in transpOrtating them. The
supply of substitutes is ample to meet
our needs and it is confidentially ex-
pected that with the freer movement

The normal tendency of local search
ties would be to advance prices out Of

tribution Under the Food Control
Act this will not happen. All licenses
sees dealing in food commodities who
do not give their customers the benefit
of fair and moderate prices, selling at
no more than reasonable profit above
/ cost, will have their licenses revoked.
Unlicensed food retailers who sell at
more than a reasonable profit will
have their supplies cut off through the
modification of all licensees by the Food
Administration forbidding them to re-
ceive orders for food from such re-
tailers.
