INITIATION LIFTS
FOOD PRICES IN
ALL MARKETS
Effects Felt Sharply
by Workers Whose
Wages Are Cut
FOOD STORED UP
Govt Figures ShowNew
Costs Inflationary

NEW YORK, March %. Food
prices continue to rise in all markets
Of the country as the effects of ia
fiation become general. Wheat was
up one cent a bushel on the ex-
changes. Other grains made cor
responding advances during the day.
Wholesale prices advance steadily.
Dun & Bradstreet's daily weighted
index Of 80 basic commodities shows
rise. Yesterday the daily weighted
average was 1922; q month ago it
was 6s.75. The figures are based on
the average for the year 193o-1932 as
100.
Enormous Stocks on Hand.
Retail prices, which have been far
above wholesale prices during the
whole course Of the crisis, are ad-
vancing still faster, which imposes a
greater burden upon the consumer
and beats down further the hunger
standards of life for the masses.
| These price rises occur in spite Of
the fact that the stocks of goods
have not become less during the
crisis, but have remained stationary
or, in some cases, increased due to
the restricted buying power of the
population.
Even the United States department.
Of commerce showed this when II
produced figures to show that total
stocks of both raw materials and
manufactured goods were exactly the
same in October Of 1882 as they were
in October, 1929. 1t is clear from this
that the price rise is not due to the
operation Of the law Of supply and
demand, but to the effect OF the grow
ing initiation.

MEALS ENLARGED
In SOVIET UNION
Spring Sowing Begins
With Enthusiasm
BY N. BUCHWALD
DAILY Worker Correspondent

MOSCOW, u. S. S. r., March 70
(By Radiogram) Further improve
n1ent in the food situation was re-
vealed in a recent tour of Moscow
factories by your correspondent. This
improvement has resulted in in
creased food rationS for factory
workers, who are now getting greater
amounts of such items as meat, but
ter and fish.
An all around better distribution Of
foodstuffs has been effected as a re-
suit of direct control by factories
over the workers cooperative stores,
thus fully justifying the new system.
Since factory arrangements have as
surned control, there have been no
lapses in distribution of food, all
workers receiving the rations regu-
larry.
Great quantities Of additional food
stuffs have ben made available by
the initiative taken by factory admin
istrationS.
In the open market, also, prices
took a considerable drop,

FOREIGN POLICY
Roosevelt Tells Senate
to Agree in Advance

WASHINGTON. March 23.-Com-
plete authority to conclude CONNER
DIAL and otheg treaties without inter-
ference from the senate is the latest
move in the enforcement of the
Roosevelt policy Of concentrating
power in the hands Of the executive
department.
The finance capitalists who deter
mine the policy Of the Roosevelt adj
ministration want 70 have q free
hand, especially with regard to the
question Of inter-allied debts agree
ments, SO they can use these debts
for political purposes. The tremen-
dous sharpening Of the international
situation, the imminence of outbreak
of war in Europe, the war in the Far
East and the undeclared wars in
South America impel the government
to insist that its representatives at in
ternational conferences and its am
bsssadors 10 the various countries
be able to quickly conclude agree
meuts, without ~sssarS Ac~ evngrps-
~oeyk 4Rcesses.

BERLIN, March 2S.--In today
session of the Reichstag, convened
to give dictatorisI powers TO the Hit
Ter Cabinet, the Socialists refused So
vote against the bill giving Hitler all
power, although the objection of only
a single Reichstag deputy would be
enough to block the unanimous con-
sent needed to pass the bill through
two readings at today's session. No
Communist deputies were allowed to
attend the session.
Hermann Wilhelm Goering, Man
Speaker Of the Reichstag, opened the
meeting by reciting stanza from
Eckhardt's Nazi hymn of anti-Semi-
tic and anti-Marxist hate, Germany
Awake!"
Hitler, addressing the Reichstag,
threatened the "implacable exter-
nlination of his internal enemies. -
He indicated that Fascist Italy and
FascieS Germany would work to-
gether very closely, thanking Italy
for understanding Germany's ma
tional rebirth."
In conclusion, he shouted "You
decide on peace or war" challenging
the Socialist and Centrist deputies to
oppose him.
When he finished, the Nazi depu-
ties jumped to their feet, singing
Deutschland Ueber Allies" The So
cialists did not remain seated, but
rose and stood at attention during
the singing Of the patriotic chant.
