II is presumed the government is sincere in that

Then let the government assist in maintaining the

THAT be done il has been pointed out by the gov

In making their purchases. the retailers are often
confronted with the assertion that the prices of various
commodities must be raised because the government is
buying large quantities. and utilizing the major produc-
ton facilities for defense.
That assertion always true but al present the
buyers for retail establishments have little means of
checking the facts.
IF THE government should issue weekly statement,

its demands what proportion of the factory out
put is ordered for defense purposes the buyer would
have check on the sources Of supply.
He could then determine whether or not increases
in price justified Otter demands for increase might
be found purely fictitious and eXtortionae.
