such a nature as to confirm his fears
that existing rights might be COM

St. Croix, May 9th, 1922.
Editor St. CroGT AViS',
Dear Sir:
St. Thomas Times says price of
beer is being controlled yer there and
if any one charges more than $40. a case
foriGerman beer, or more than $l4 for
Dutch or Danish he may be reported to
the police because it is profiteering.
When we had q Food Commission here
the prices of Ham, Bacon, Cheese, and
a list of other articles used at ones table
every day could not be controlled be
cause it was said they came under
the heading of luxuries. Is beer then
a staple article of food? Here in St. Croix
we don't need this control because if we
get through paying our doctors bills
we'll be lucky if we get plain food and
will have nothing left for beer. What
would benefit US is a tariff for medical
service so one can know whether he'll
be able to paythe doctor beforehand, and
not take the chance of rising from his
sickbed a bankrupt.
Yours truly
