cisely to this same subcommittee
let me call your attention to the
statement Of Secretary of Agricult-
ure Wickard on March 2S last. In
the course Of that statement. he
said:
"A general increase in livestock
and meat ceilings is not likely to
Immediately increase the number
Of animals marketed. In fact, it
might have the opposite effect .
There is one cold hard fact that
must be faced: that is black mar
keting cannot be controlled by
price ceiling mauipulations~
Insofar as pork production is
concerned, farmer are much more
concerned with support prices than
they are with ceiling prices.
ANY break in ceilings which
would result in an increase in meat
prices at retail should be avoided"
Publicity emerging from the hear
ings conducted by the subcommittee
seems to point mare toward ~relaxa-
ton of price control than TO strong
action against black markets. One
Senator is quoted as %condoning the
purchase of meal on black markets
in the absence of meat available
through lawful channels. If dis
sent from that view was expressed
in committee, it escaped my notice
in the press.
Surely these must be distorted
accounts of what the current in
quiry is leading to. 1T cannot be
possible. while our country is still
at war and our fighting men are en-
gagged with enemy, nat any comm
ittee Of the Congress is willing to
lend itself in any degree whatso-
aver to an undermining Of pubic
morale here at home. Surely there

can be no intended purpose to ex-
plot our difficulties with respect
to a diminished meat supply, or to
suggest that relaxation Of essential
wartime control should be propos-
ed to ease these difficulties.
Sueaking for myself n for the
millions of families within the large
family of CIO. 1 want to assure you
that we are prepared to undergo
all the inconvenience that may be
required of us in order that there
shall be no question of our ability
to supply the armed services with
the best of everything we have and
to meet our obligations to the ut
most for the relief of hunger and
starvation in Europe.
Avoidable difficulty in these home
front affairs is a different matter
We do not intend to stand idle
when profiteering adds its burden
upon difficulties already too heavy
We do not propose to accept with
out challenge any unwillingness
or incapacity of governmental a.
gencies or of the Congress t. deal
firmly with home front problems in
the interest of the common good.
We expect our government to in
sist upon equal sharing of what
ever limitation in supply is neces-
sary. We expect it to control the
distribution of supplies so as to
make Unnecessary n participat-
ion in illegal practice on the part
OF patriotic and decent citizens. We
expect that those who dare to traf-
fic for their profit in the bootleg

apprehended and givn the treat

emasculation OF price control
through amendment Of the law.
The impression conveyed through
reports of the subcommittee in
quiry is that price ceiling regulat-
ions are responsible for the present
scarcity of meat in retail stores. We
are given to understand tina by
raising price ceilings. or by doing
away with price control altogether,
increased meat supplies would be
forthcoming and the scarcity re-
lieved. 1t is reported that an am
endment TO the price control law is
proposed to require higher pricse
ceilings for meats.
Through our W inquiries we
learn that the overall reduction in
meat supply at the m is due
TO a curtailment Of hog production
las tyear. which in turn resulted
grain supplies had been used up, and
some reduction in livestock numbers
was necessary.
The meat scarcity which con-
fronts housewives at the butchers
counter is further aggravated by
black markets. That is plain to
anyone who cares to observe how
meat is being marketed at the pre-
sent time.
Neither Of these causes of scarce
meat ii seems to me. points to
price control as the real source of
difficulty. or suggests that a rails

Plainly what we need Is stimulation
of all possible production, accom-
panied by adequate control Of the
supply from the slaughter house
right through to the retail counter
where families buy their meat.
