Public Warned
That Food Costs
Will Rise Again
Spiral Due TO Start
When Expenses Of
Marketing Mount
BY HAYNES MAH0NEY
IntI News Service stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Agri-
culture department economists
said today that the consuming
public will have to spend more for
food in the future, when rising
costs are added to
present retail prices.
Retail prices have advanced
sharply since the spring Of 1871,
the department said in its agri-
situation report. but most
of this increase in price went
directly TO the farmers for higher
farm commodity prices.
There has been no important
increase in the take" of middle
men from the consumers food
dollar so far, according to the
report.
But sooner or later, the econo-
miSts say. these marketing costs,
which cover processing and dis
tributing, must rise. And when
they do. a real spiralling of retail
food prices can be expected, the
experts indicated.

ATTITUDE NOW CLEAR

II may not be until Monday that
binding signatures are penned TO
the motion. but the attitude OF
Pan American nations toward the
AXIS and its aggressions IS now
clear.
The only South American cap
Iital where totalitarian representa-
tives are likely 10 have ample time
to say farewells is Buenos Aires.
The agreement reached last
night permits Argentina, if she
wishes. to delay rupture of rela-
lions until her Congress convenes
in May. II is considered likely,
however, that Acting President
Ramon S. Castillo will break rela-
tons in March Immediately after
the presidential elections.
AXISMEN CONVINCED
This much delay was all that
Argentina actually stood out for
when negotiations for rupture OF
relations began.
Although announcement OF the
agreement has not yet been pub
llShed officially here or in BuenoS
AireG reports Of ii circulated
quickly and reached the ears of
AXIS representatives. Reports here
from all South American capitals
said UNANIMOUSLY that Hitler's men
now regarded their cause in South
