Canned meats will not be included in

through its Investigations that there
was no great demand for canned meats
and besides these goods may he OBJ
taincd by parcel post Mt a saving to the

vegetables. the postal charges would

foods were sold at approximately forty
five percent cheaper than they could ho

This doesn't mean. however" said
Mr.. House. that the retailers arc rob-

classed as profiteers. Investigations hy
our committee show that tho croccrs arc
