HIGH LIVING COST
TO RECEIVE A Jolt
Washington Assured Quant-
ties Of Army Surplus Foods
at Low Prices.

High cost Of living IL booked for q
tsIt in Washington.
FUNDS are assured for the purchase
Of large quantities Of surplus Army
supplies, and the food will be on its
way to Washington homes in a few
days unless the unexpected happens.
John @. McGrath. president OF the
citizens food council, was swamped
with offers of loans yesterday with
which to establish the purchasing
fund. He announced last night that
enough money was in sight to assure
the project being carried out.
Result of The Stars Suggestion.
Suggestion made by The Star that
citizens finance a plan by which they
might obtain Army foodstuffs at big
saving in cost has aroused widespread
interest. The District Commissioners
and many citizens who were familiar
with the successful cooperative buy
ing movement inaugurated in Park
View by Mr.. McGrath requested that
he work out a plan for getting some
OF the Army's surplus stock to citizens
here at cost prices.
Offers Of loans from SIS to $500 were
made to Mr.. McGrath yesterday. The
money will be used merely as a pur-
chasing fund and will be returned
eventually to the donors, as there will
be neither profit nor loss in the bust
ness. Overhead charges will be elimi-
mated.

Result of The Stars Suggestion.
Details to Be Worked Out.

The best means of avoiding over
heads. however. remains to be deter
mined. Volunteer service will be re-
lied upon. but whether Mr.. McGrath's
stovekeepers will come from the
sch sols. the community centers or the
citizens food council is a detail to be
worked out. Mr.. McGrath himself has
offAred to donate q months service to
the undertaking. It is assumed school
SAuses will be selected for the dis
trieutinR centers.
Baltimore Is in the market for the
Army foods, and SO are other cities
whose oouncils can appropriate money
with which to conduct the business.
The situation In Washington II Diff
ferent because the Commissioners
are without authority to make appro-
priatfons. 1t was up to the citizens
here to organize themselves IL they
would reap the estimated saving OF
80 per cent said to be represented In
the Army prices The Commissioners
believe the citizens movement here
will be as effective AZ that Of the
municipal governments elsewhere.
Mr.. McGrath will confer with Com.
missioner Gardiner and War Depart
ment officials this week. and it is
believed q plan of distribution will
be worked out without difficulty.

the solution of after-war problems by
existing parties made the establish

More and cheaper houses. as well

not be had by platform generalities
or graceful rhetorical phrases. These
necessities. as well as abundant OPP
portunities for labor, can be insured
only by Graduating fundamental err
rors in our economic system"
