Progress in the reduction of food
prices was reported yesterday by the
Department of Justice. which issued
the following statement:
Reports received by the Depart
ment of Justice from Fair Price Com
mittees in twelve states indicate a re-
duction of from 10 per cent to 10 per
cent in retail prices OF food commod-
tiles.
Reports received from four states
indicate a reduction in wholesale
prices OF food commodities of from
per cent to > per cent
No reduction is shown in prices OF
clothing or other necessaries except
in a few small communities.
The reconstruction research division
OF the Council of National Defense
places the blame for existing high
prices in part upon greatly reduced
production during the period following
the signing OF the armistIcc. in its
August report to Congress.
The report takes the view that pres
ent high prices are not to be ac-
counted for on the basis OF heavy eX-
ports. but in the lower purchasing
power of the dollar and the favorable
conditions 10 9rohteering in foDI sup
