BOTH legislative and administrative in
vestigations have established the fact that
one of the causes Of the high cost Of living is
the action Of the constituencies profiteer. A
profiteer may be defined as person who seeks
undue advantage for himself at the expense Of
unnecessary loss to another The profiteering
spirit is in most Of us. It is manifested by the
childless housewife who insists on keeping
maids and a cook, as well as by the meat pack
er in keeping his goods from the market until
the artificial scarcity causes prices to soar. 1t
can be applied to almost every line Of produc-
tion or distribution. Sometimes the commercial
profiteer will even permit the destruction Of
portion Of crop in order to increase the
prices Of the remainder.
The Investigations show that what should
be the beneficent results Of cold storage In
preserving perishable foods for even distrlbu-
B ton through the year, has been perverted into
an almost malicious Withholding Of goods from
the market for the manipulation Of prices The
monopoly Of business il a few hands has also
+ given the profiteer his opport ortunity to gouges
s the consumer. Wholesalers, middl lemen, and
retailers all have taken a hand IN exacting in
ordinate profits for their part in the distribu-
!. ton from producer to consumer.
