OPA IN FARMLAND

A remarkable statement has en-
anated from the head office of
OPA. The Price Administrator has
announced that cost absorption -
under which wholesalers and re-
tail stores must absorb any increase
in manufacturers prices = is the
cornerstone of price control"
Thus as the New York Times
states, the retailer is forced to SUBJ
sidize either the manufacturer or
the consumer, according to how one
looks at it. 1t is difficult to discover
any principle upon which this can
be justified as fair"
Discussing the position in which
the pricing policy Of OPA leaves
retailers, the Times continues:
"Wartice earnings, before taxes,
have increased less rapidly for in
corporated retailers than in other
industries. These wartime earnings
We're high because of larger sales,
lower expense rates, fewer mark
downs, and a decrease in the num-
Der of retailers, But these condi-
tons are now likely to change rap
idly. Ex-service men will open
stores. The number of retailers will
increase. Volume Of sales is likely
to be lower in relation to overhead
expenses. The resumption of de-
liveries. advertising, wrapping,
credit and other services on a peace
time scale will also increase the
cost of retailing for each individ-
ual transaction.
Small retailers and ex-service
men hoping to start new stores will
be especially hard hit by the pres
ent cost-absorbtion policy
The traditionally narrow margin
Of profit upon which the chain store
operates will also be expected to
carry its share of the burden of
substituting the OPA's battle against
initiation.
In the meantime, wages continue
to soar with the official blessing of
Washington.
The natural laws of supply and
demand may be harsh at times, but
they make sense-and that is more
than can be said for some man
made laws.

Editorial

Last year in the Tamarack there
appeared an editorial on athletic
training. It criticized the team for
smoking, keeping late hours, and
poor training in general. We believe
in giving credit as well as criticism,
when it is earned: and it has been
earned.
When somebody wants something
they put forth an attempt to obtain
it. That's what the team did to-
ward a victory over Whitefish. Our
hats off to the Lbs team for keep
ing training.
