INDIANS CAUSING
 ALARM IN BRITAIN,
 BECOMING UNRU[y
High Cost of Living, Desire for Share In Government Con- troI and Memories of Mas
 sacre Among Reasons
By Associated Press

London. December 26.-Inda today is faced with what is generally character ized as one ef the grayest crises in it's history lowing to the deep and widespread unrest whirh has developed since the end Of the war, While this discomfort is the product of numerous causes, in the main il is the result of the high cost of living. and inc consequent hard times for the population.
 The unrest has recently manifested it. self in various and serious ways. Thare have been many great strikes in the in- dustria centers in some cases accom- panied by rioting and bloodshed. Or ganized anti government boycotts have been instituted, Moreover, extremists have been preaching revolutionary ideas with the result that as announced re- gently in Commons by Mr. Montagu, sec retary of state for India there have been several prosecutions and convictions un- der the seditious meetings act. The main causes of the unrest may be epitmized thus:
 The high cost Of living, the prices in some cases having advanced 900 per cent, while incomes, especially of the brain workers, have increased only a small fraction of this
 The continuance of the wartime re- strictions on the conduct of the popu- lace. whereas the government had ind- cated that these would be removed with in six months of the termination of the war
 The desire on the part of large sec tion of the educated classes for greater hand in the government than has hithsr' to been accorded natives.
 The allegation that the government mas failed to keep it's wartime promises for bettertnent of general conditions of iiV- ing and employment, it being charged that these promises were held out mere ly to gain support for carrying on the war.
 Y The feeling of disquetud and opposi- tion to the government has been given great impetus by the %massacre of Am ritsar' as the Indian describes the sen sational events of April, 1913 when Gen eral Dyer ordered his troops to fire on vast conconrse of people with the re suit that great numbers were Killed anu wounded This feeling has been increasea by the apparent indorsement Tn Engaio of this policy by some legislators ln the debates of Parliament, and the sunseH'p- ton to a testimonial to General Dyer g"s .up by Lonooil He"AP"PVi
 amounted to G2o,090
 So far as the political agitation IS con oerned. those who know India well st"te that much depends on the working :" tha new Montagu bill, which gives tH' natives more say in the aialrs oi SoN ernmeut and which becomes eiiectNe next year. 1t i.s said to be acceptable ID a large portion of the educated. thihkhl'' people of India, although 1t has some strenuous opponents among the eNtretn. ists who claim that il does not go ti,f enough.

BOARD SUGGESTS
 PER|SHAbLE FOOD
 CENTRAL MARKETS
Federal Trade Commission Will Submit Report and Recom- mendations to Congress
 Today-Urge Licensing
By Associated Press

Washington, December 26-Estab- lishment of central markets for per- ishable food products in all large cities and the setting np of federal liccns- ing system applicable to all dealers in such foods at those markets is proposed by the federal trade commission in it's annual report today to Congress.
 The commissions conclusions are based on an investigation covering many months, and it declares that fed eral action is necessary to obtain ef- fective regulation and to avoid unfair and wasteful practices with the conse- quent effect on prices. In the present system the commission sees as him. drance to the proper passage of per ishables from the producer to the con- sumer certain inter-trade dealings which it believes should be eliminated and it suggests that the handling ot these products be surrounded by numer- ous regulations and restrictions such as the recording Of available supplies the dating of cold storage periods and pro. visions for auction marke ting.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-12-27
STOP BOARDING

Facilities should be made adequate, the commission says, to enable the pro- ducer to ship freely into the central markets and with proper protection of his interests" The marketing sys- tenn should be so governed that objec tionable hoarding would be eliminated and proper coordination of transporta- tion facilities should be accomplished to make deliveries certain when re- quired.
 The commission says that "the need ed reforms can hardly be expected 10 be accomplished by the initiative of the dealers" and asserts that state and municipal authorities lack adequate power to effectively regulate the hand ling of the food supplies Although CO., operation of state and local authorities and railroads might accomplish the ends sought. the commission believes this plan does not hold out much hope for a satisfactory solution of the problem.
 Turning to wheat products, the com mission says it has found that concen- tration of the milling industry has pro- gressed far enough so that probably 10 of the largest milling concerns could supply the demand Of the country fol flour" The commission mentions in- cident tally that it's figures from 37 mill ing corporations showed that their sales had increased from s160.000.000 to s35i,- 900. 000 between 1914 and 1918. while
