its crest at a series Of congress
Sional hearings, when representa-

to legislation which hampers dis
tributive efficiency and thus in

In the food field one Of the most
notable developments of 1910 max
ing for greater efficiency was the
improvement and extension of
super market operations. Con-
sumers also stand to benefit from
the fact that from the very be-
ginning Of the European war mass
distributors have discouraged spec
ulation by their buyers, preferring
instead a course of day-to-day
buying for needs only, in line with
the marketing habits of consumers.
They have also pledged them
selves to oppose artificial and I'M
justified price increases during the

intensified their successful drives
TO move surplus crops and thus

Of confidence as expressed in the
