keep pace with the rise in prices
which will ensue."
Issues Called Far Reaching.
Mr.. Murray told the committee
the issue before it was so far-reach-
ing that you must also be aware
that your decisions carry with them
the entire stability and firmness of
the home front in our present war
effort"
He cited the Price Control Act of
October 2, 1912, as direct recogni-
ton by Congress that ''the stabiliza-
ton of wages is linked to the sta
bilization of prices"
He reported Al per cent increase
in food prices since 1899 and linked
it with current taxes and other living
cost rises to support his contention
that "spiralling prices" operate as
one jaw of wise squeezing workers
against the second jaw Of stabilized
pay.
Mr.. Murray attributed part OF the
rollback opposition to interests who
want higher prices, and say so" and
the remainder to "those in the food
industry who fear that subsidies will
lead to undue regimentation OF their
business"
OF the latter group, he said, what
they mean, imagine, is that the
subsidy program sooner or later will
lead to the recapture of windfall
profits which wartime price controls
have allowed to accrue to the low
cost operations in the food industry" J."
In either case he said the opposition
represented selfish appetite for
gain at the expense of the war pro-
gram"
Saying the same witnesses who
opposed the rollback had urged turn
ing food prices over to War Food
Administrator Chester Davis, Mr.
Murray said. I'VE certainly do not
want price control vested in an ad
ministrator who fails to support in
words and deeds the administrator
program to roll food prices back"
