WHEN the government announced
" II would put foodstuffs on the
market below the current price II
might have been supposed there would
be a rush for the goods similar to a
department store sale. But such has
not been the case. The Emmett post

small business. There are two things

IDENTIFY, there is no widespread acute
deprivation. II there were, the chance
TO get food cheap would have meant .
rush for the government grocery
stores. And in the second place, the
lack OF interest shown in the saving
offered by the government doesn't
seem to foreshadow any violent fall in
the price Of living in the immediate
future.

HAD you noticed slump in the

too early to announce it ms such, bu,
very soon the strike contagion is going

be a short period Of idleness, but prices
are too high and savings are too low
for it to endure. Then relations will
be adjusted. and gradually men will
return to work and production will be
resumed. 1t has been charged that
free publicity TO strikes in the East
promoted the spread Of the contAgion
