WIDESPREAD COMPLAINTS
From President Roosevelt down
to the average citizen, Senator
Nandenberg points out, complaints
concerning operation of the draft
system have become commonplace.

can they be obtained unless the

There Is complete lack of

the former slaves-equality Of citi-

one great way to brand Colored

BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Jan. Food Minister
Woolton announced today the peg
ging of prices of variety of foods
at not more than the figures Of
last December 2.
He listed coffee, cocoa, chocolate,
canned and boiled vegetables, canned
pork and beans, honey, fish and
poultry pastes, poultry, tapioca, bis
cults, canned soups, processed
cheese, custard powders, jellies and
nuts.
His order forbids wholesalers, re-
tailers or manufacturers to sell at
prices higher than each sold these
foods for last December 2.
Lord Woolton earlier acknowledged
Britain is suffering from a meat
shortage, but said he believed it is
only temporary.
If the shortage continues, how
ever, the meat ration will be re-
duced, he said
"The position of meat supplies, "
he said, SIS Immediately difficult
with every sign of improvement"
A drastic profiteering order
Woolton said. would burn the
fingers" of new people coming into
the food trade as profitable field
for speculation.
"They have been taking their
rake-of of profit and have rendered
no service at all to the country" he
