IND. c. 4SAMYTH
John G. MCGrath Lays High
Prices to Unnecessary
Handling of Foods.

There are no prohteers in Washing.
ton.
This unusual statement was made
today by John G. McGrath, chairman
Of the Citizens Cooperative Buying
and Distributing League.
High prices, according to Mr.. Nc
Grath, result from unnecessary agen-
cies handling foOdstuffs, from pro
ducer to consumer. This situation CO.
operative buying associations elimi-
nate, he declared.
Mr.. McGrath's interesting deduc-
tion is that excessive prices are paid
today for the necessities of life be-
cause Of lack Of knowledge as to how
to buy, and the indifference and lack
OF energy on the part Of the public.
Chance Confirms View.
This position is supported by Mer-
ritt o. Chance, city postmaster, who
has announced that unless more en-
thusiasm is shown by the public in
the purchase Of surplus army food
q definite date for the close OF the
sale would be set.
'Tt is true" Mr.. McGrath declared,
that prices are higher today than
they were several years ago, because
the increased cost Of labor and pro-
duction, but the public could decrease
the living cost greatly by taking ad-
vantage Of tfhe food-buying agencies
at their command, which make buying
vantage OF the food-buyinE agencies
to consumer and eliminate the un-
necessary handling, which must be
paid for.
People Mnst Act.
''The success Of proposed plans OF
cooperative buying depends almost
entirely upon response Of the persons
II is desired to beneft, together with
the efficiency Of the management"
In the working out Of cooperative
buying and other moves to lessen the
cost Of living in Washington, there
have been numerous instances of lazi-
ness in the response OF the public. An
attitude has been evidenced that the
people want to buy only the very
best, regardless Of price.
EVERY one has clamored for CHEAP
food" said Mr.. Chance today. "but
now that a quantity of excellent food
at cheap rates is offered onIy a few
consumers are taking advantage Of
it,"
Bulk OF Food UnsOId.
Only approximately 10 per cent
OF the army food allotted the District
has been sold. Officials in charge Of
the disposition Of the foodstuffs are
at the lack Of interest
shown.
Plans for advancing the co-opera-
tive buying. as proposed by the Co
operative Buying League, will be
made tonight at 4 meeting OF the
Southeast Community Center, at the
Tyler School. Edward A Lycett, of
the executive committee, will outline
the plan proposed for financing the
leagues activities.
