Fish are now coming TO market In
quantity, relieving the market short
age that followed subnormal produce
ton last summer and through the
winter. The Food Administration be-
lieves that the supply will soon DO
sufficient to play an important part In
solving our food problem and that
prices will be low enough to induce
the consumer to find In fish valuable
adjunct to the diet and a good sub
stitute for the staple foods needed
abroad.
Short production last year was
largely due to the draft Of vessels and
recruiting Of men for the Navy. Traw-
Ter production has now been mater
tally increased by free admission OF
Canadian trawlers and by new con-
struction In addition, certain State
restrictions on littoral fishing have
been lifted and rules and regulations
formulated by the Food Administra-
ton to increase the efficiency of pro-
ducers and distributors.
Wholesale prices are now down TO
comparatively low levels and should
remain on this basis for the rest Of
the season, except that temporary
fluctuations may follow storms and
climatic changes that would result In
decreased production. Until next De-
cember there should not be day that
some of the many varieties of salt
water fish will not be available in all
markets along the Atlantic coast. Al
no time should there fail to be at least
one variety of palatable fish that could
be sold at retail for 10 cents pound
or less. The Food Administration has
announced that dealers who do not Of
fer at least one variety of fish at this
price are not periodically cooperating
with the Food Administration or with
their customers. OF course, the par
ticular variety available at that price
will vary from day to day.
With the approach Of next winter
the Food Administration is confident,
deep-sea fishing and winter produc-
ton of ground fish should be restored
10 normal.
Ice manufacturers will not be al
lowed to take advantage of war con-
ditions to feather their nests at the
expense of the public. The Food Ad-
ministration has announced that any
unwarranted increases in prices will
be followed by local license regula-
tons, giving the Food Administration
control of profits and of distribution.
OF first consideration to the Food Ad-
ministration in this phase of the food
problem is the protection of those ele-
ments of our population least able to
protect themselves should prices be
advanced.
1t is because increases would be
most dangerous in congested popula-
ton area that only local licensing is
at present considered. Where in
oreases are contemplated by the ma
ufacturer, the Food Administration
will take no action in the event that
the dealers will reach mutually sat
isfactory agreement with municipal
authorities or with the consumers.
