hands between the wholesalers would get to the ultimate consumer just that much cheaper if there were not two middlemen's profits attached to it.
 The food administration will not ordinarily make objection in a case where the one permissible wholesale profit on a particular lot of goods is divided and shared by two or more wholesalers. The food administration will not make exceptions to the rule against resales merely for the purpose of permitting a dealer, who is out of stock of a certain commodity, to re- pleniSh his supply from some other dealer in the same trade who may have a surplus. The fact that a deal- CT is out of goods and will lose trade to his competitors, unless he is al- lowed to buy from some other dealer in his own trade. does not in itself constitute reasonable Justification for rcsales which would place wholesale or two retail profits on the lot of goods. There arc many cases, there fore, in which such wholesaler could sell a particular lot of goods to the retailer at a lower price if he could benefit by the carload rate from the manufacturer to some large whole Saler at a point near him. In such instances there may be reasonable justification for a resale within the same trade, but no general exception of the sort has been made,
 The controlling point is that one lot of goods should not bear more than one wholesale profit Or more than one retail profit. and that resales, certain ly of those ommodities covered by the cost basis rules. should be made only under the control of the Federal Food

RESALES FORBIDDEN
 UNDER FEDERAL LAW
State Food Administration Is Prompted to Issue Warning

Hartford, March 1.-Resales within
 the trade, which usually mean two
 profits before a food commodity
 reaches the consumer, have been for
 bidden for months by the United
 States Food Administration, but the present situation, in which many wholesalers, short on certain of the approved wheat substitutes, wish to hl1y from another wholesaler who is long on this food stuff, prompted the Federal Food Administration for Con- uecticut to issue today an explanation of this General Rule 6, of the Whole sale and Retail Groceries Division of t1,a Food Administration. The rule applies especially to non- n-perishables and it must not be violated simply because one wholesaler may buy from another a certain lot of goods which he could not get as cheap direct from the manufacturer. This bargain feature is no attenuation because the food administration holds that the particular lot of goods, changing
