According to the latest reports the

Bulgaria.
To permit Bulgaria to gain full
possession of western Thrace would
mean that Greece's possessions in

be cut off from the mainland, and the
only communication left would be by

Should Not Shield Profiteer.

Cold storage is necessary for the
preservation Of food, but it should
not be permitted to be a shielded
prof1teer in making starvation prices.
Cold storage only makes clear
ance when there is no more room at
the entrance; then the oldest produce
Is taken out and usually destroyed,
for if PLACED on market would reduce
prices. and while too often this long
stored food is not fit to eat, if it had
been placed on the market at an ear
lier date it would have been consumed
Cold storage buys apples on the
trees and then lets them decay there.
This T; proves there's no room for them

IL 1t any wonder, higher wages and
salaries are, demanded all over the
country, ana strikes break QUE IN all

In order to live, food in order to work.
food in order to be good citizens. All
the talk in the world will not satisfy

1t satisfies for time being but does

Salary Increases No Remedy.
The increase Of wages and salaries
is no remedy for high cost Of living.
On the contrary, it increases food
prices and the laborer is not bene-

Correspondent Ascribes Liv-

Asks Legislation.
To tho Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
High cost of living is being at
tributed to many conditions. of which
the most of them are imaginary. The
real founder and sustainer of high
prices is cold storage.
Cold storage controls the produce
and regulates the price; this has been
going on for years and a constant in
crease of prices. SO systematically
done that the public has not realized
the real source OF the present. high
cost of living. There is absolutely no
remedy for these high prices until
Congress passes a law requiring cold
storage houses to place on the market
all produce stored for a certain length
of time, and the limit of that time
should not, be longer than six months.
Four months would be long enough
and regulate prices to better effect.
Several years ago Congress debated
a bill of this nature, but the cold
storage, combine was stronger than
Congress and the bill never got be-
yond talk. If this bill had become a
law then we would not be having
strikes and riots on account of the
high cost of living.
