Agriculture Department Finds
] Meat Prices to Consumer
Excessively High.
SOLUTION Is OFFERED h
Federal Supervision Of Packing, Sale
and Distribution Of Meat Products
's Urged as Only Remedy for
-. >:',.- Existing situation. z:~ ss-z

Washington, July THE depart.
ment Of agriculture declares federal
supervision of the packing, sale and
distribution of meat products to be
the only solution for the present situa.
ton in which meat prices to the con.
sumer are so high that-ha is denying
himself and@in which prices for live
stock, especially beef AM lambs, are
so low that the producer. is losing
money. !
ssssT The department emphasized that
save food signs should now be dis
regarded as to meat, especially beef,
and wheat products. Faced by the
largest wheat crop on record and with
many cattle raised in response to the
demand for the meat production for
the army now maturing, the American
people, the department asserted, must
realize that no necessity for conserva-
ton OF such foods any longer exists.
Retail Prices Excessive.
A survey Of the meat prices, the de-
partment said, reveals that the Excess
-sive retail prices now existing are not
justified by wholesale quotations.
Prices to the producers have declined
since the war, it was said, but prices
paid by the consumer have not ma
terially lessened. The only solution,
the department believes, is more strict
federal supervision
The entire meat situation, based on
| conferences with senator's and repre-
sentatives from livestock producing re-
gions, was summarized by the depart
ment, as follows: .- ::
There is no longer need for meat
| conservation. The supply is plentiful
and patriotic citizens may freely disre-
gard the meat saving placards which
are still displayed at many eating
places.
Producers Face Loss.
Beef producers and lamb producers
who sell their products at this time
are confronted by the danger of heavy
financial losses, which tend to restrict
production and cause a serious short
age in the future.
'The United States lacks a satisfac-
tory and permanent solution of the
problem: until the manufacture, sale
and distribution of meat products are
| officially supervised by authorized
agents of the government, working in
cooperation with state and municipal
authorities whose only aim is to serve
the public at large and not any partic-
ular class.
When the federal government il
enabled by law to maintain just su-
pervision over the meat producing In
dustry that will prevent unfair deal
fngs, speculation and profiteering, by
furnishing the public from an sunim-
peachable source all the facts with re-
gard to the industry, and when the
states and municipalities are enablAd
by law to exercise similar supervision
over intrastate and local business,
then only can we expect to have fair
and stable markets in which producer
and consumer alike will have square
DEAL"
