GRADE LABELLING
is AN EXAMPLE

Review the record of the last few
months with me. Just little while
ago, an action that drastically harmed
every consumer in the country was
taken, when all possibility of enforce
ment of grading or labelling of differ
ent qualities of goods was abolished.
From now on, it will be impossible for
buyers to know the true quality OF
the goods they are spending their
money for, until the transaction of
buying has actually taken place, and
the money has been spent.
How can price controls be enforced
when all indications Of the quality of
goods have been taken away?
Nor is that all. The Office of Price
Administration is so pitifully under
stated that black markets are -four
ishings all over the country, and vio-
lations of ceiling prices have come to
be almost The accepted thing.
