TO REDUCE COST OF FOOD
Countrywide Movement For q
Reduction in Prices of Com
modities Ordered by
Hoover

A countrywide move to reduce the
cost of food to the consumer and
standardize methods of compelling
the observance by dealars of "fair
price lists has been ordered by
Food Administrator Hoover.
Lists will be published in every
county. town and city. and consum-
ers will be asked to cooperate with
officials in forcing merchants to bring
their prices to a uniform level.
If this ban be accomplished, a
statement issued by the food admin
istration says, the average buyer will
not only be protected. but the pa
triotic merchant who has followed
the food administration suggestions
regarding prices will be protected
against the INSCRIPTIONS dealer who
has attempted to take advantage of
the situation.
In carrying out the new standard
ization plan. the food administration
will establish price interpreting COM
mittees. composed of representatives
of wholesalers. retailers and consum-
ers.
The board will determine fair re-
tail prices on basic commodities that
comprise a large part of the Nations
diet.
The published lists will give the
range of maximum selling prices,
showing a reasonable price which
will reflect the prices that should OBJ
trim in leash and carry" stores, and
a higher price representing a fair
price for"credit and delivery stores.
rhe local administrator for each
locality will act as chairman of the
price board.
Each board will have detailed re-
ports of actual wholesale prices and
will ascertain fair margins of profit
the retailer should be satisfied with.
Newspapers will be asked to CO.
operate by setting aside a particular
position weekly for the publication
of the lists. with footnotes on the
food problem and the use of substi-
tutes for the foods that are needed
most abroad.
A close check will be kept on OBJ
servance of the lists.
Consumers will be expected to re-
port to the local food administrator
any store charging more than the
established price for any commodity.
