To EXTEND POWER
.0F FOOD CONTROL

WASHINGTON, February with
the agricultural appropriation bill out
of the way, the House committee on
agriculture will turn its attention to
legislation designed to grant Food Ad-
ninisstrator Hoover additional pow
srs for handling the food conserva-
ton problem.
There will be some opposition to
the plan to grant further general pow
ers to the food administrator but as
the whole weight of the administration
will be thrown in the balance for this
legislation il it becomes necessary, it
is regarded as practically certain that
whatever Mr. Hoover asks for will be
granted by Congress.
The war is now regarded as largely
rationing match between the allies
and Germany, and reports of grave
food conditions in Great Britain,
France, Italy and Belgium are being
received.
While the response to the request
for voluntary rationing has been
gratifying, there has been an element
difficult to reach under the voluntary
plan In the final analysis, the sue
cess or failure of the food conserva-
ton movement is regarded as resting
on the measure of voluntary support
that it receives from patriotic Ameri-
cans But the results achieved to
date emphasize the necessity OF
broadening the powers of the admins
traitor, to deal with those who are too
selfish or too careless to heed the call
of patriotism.
One great difficulty that has block
ed the food administrator path has
been the fact that he has had no con-
troll over the distribution of food. In
England, where nearly all the food is
imported, this problem has been much
simpler. The necessity for rationing
has not ben so great because of this
government control of the distribution
system.

TEMPORARY SCARCITY
f. Of MEATS PREDICTED

ATLANTA, Ca, February IA
temporary scarcity Of freshmeats is
approaching and probably will be felt
in Georgia in the next week or ten
days.
Conservation will have to be prac-
ticed and substitutes must be made to
take the place of fresh meats, says
DR.. Soule, federal food administrator.
Fish can can well be used in place of
mch of the meat we have ben conslm-
ing. Some kinds of fish are unusually
plentiful in our market just now,
fortunately, and all the seasonable
kinds are easily accessible.
On official information from Wash
ington Dr. Soule has issued notice to
all local administrators in Georgia
o. the approaching fresh meat short
age, and has given positive direction
that there must be no increase in
prices because of scarcity; in fact
DR.. Soule's order is as much formal
notice to retail meat dealers as it
is warning to the public. The mo-
tice to all local administrators is:
There is likely to be, in the next
week and perhaps for some time
thereafter temporary scarcity Of
fresh meat, especially in the east.
This is due, not to lack of supplies of
livestock but to difficulty in transport
ing the meat.
The normal tendency of such a
scarcity would be to advance the price
to retailer and consumers out of line
with costs of production. This must
not happen The food administration
has instructed meat packers not to
sell at prices representing more than
normal average margin above cost and
to distribute such meat as is available
fairly among customers.
Your are directaed to enforce this
aI o. eonou 9A!S pInoqs noA IepLo
tail dealers in meats and substitutes,
therefore, that they must not at this
time charge prices giving more than a
normal average margin above cost
and that they must distribute such
meat as is available fairly among
their patrons.
,.sThe food administrator will, after
investigation, direct packers and
wholesalers not to sell to any retail
er who is proved to have violated
this instruction.
UNLESS the conditions in some
states are locally peculiar there will
be little, if any, increase in the prices
Of livestock or the cost of production
OF meats during the near future and
any material advance in the prices of
meats is therefore unreasonable"
