DENOUNCE PROFITEERS


Washington, May 1S. = Profiteering
was denounced today in the senate by
Senator Walsh, democrat of Massa-
chusetts, who asserted that extortion-
ate profits are the principal cause of
widespread unrest and that congress
is "culpably inactive" in moving to
relieve the situation.
Senator Walsh pointed to many
large dividends, including stock di-
vidends, recently paid by big corpora
tions and declared the public outcry
against high costs were an acute
political problem.
Republican leadership and majority
in Congress are responsible for the
failure to enact anti-profiteering legis-
lation, he declared, adding that the
republicans had tried to shift respon.
sibility to the presiednt or heads or
departments. Recommendations made
by Senator Walsh to check profiteer-
ing were: senatorial investigation of
income tax returns to disclose indi-
vidual profits; passage of several
pending bills, irscluding the packers
regulation bill, the McNairy bin to
stamp out cost prices on shoes, cold
storage regulation and other meas.
ures.
Senator Walsh further urged that
Congress inaugurate public trading on
large scale unless extortionate pro.
its are reduced at once, recommend
ing government competition as an al
terable remedy. Although people were
resigned to high prices during the
war, Senator Walsh said they now de.
mand relief. .
