Food Costs
Soar Since
June 30

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 -
GPA)-The United States NOV
ed closer to the perilous whirl-
pool of initiation last week, as
prices of cost-of-living items con-
tinued to rise, both in the "free
enterprise" industries where
prices are no longer controlled,
and in industries where OPA re-
tains it's price ceilings.
Wholesale food prices have
SCARED 31.3%o above June 80, ac-
cording to Bureau of Labor
Statistics survey thru Aug. ia
In the one week previous, the
BIS reported, food prices rose
.34%. For all commodities,
wholesale prices rose 1880
over the prices at the end of
June, and were 21.69o higher
than at the end of the war.
In Just one week, wholesale
prices went up an average of al
most one cent on the dollar.
Union economists point out that
many of these price boosts have
not yet hit retail stores with
their full force, but will be re-
flected in future price tags on
both food and other items which
make up the bulk of every fam
ily's budget.
Opa Announces Increases
In addition, OPA last week an
nounced a whole series of sting
ing price boosts, most of them
made necessary by the amend
ment sponsored originally by
Sen. Wherry of Nebraska, which
requires that retailers and
wholesalers must have the same
percentage markup that they
had on March 81, 1916. Some
price boosts, while under the old
OPA law, had to be absorbed by
wholesalers and retailers, and
could not be passed on to con
sumers. OPA was instructed
wherever possible, to give the
Wherry amendments boosts with
in the 80 days ending Aug. 25
First "Wherry price" was the
SIS to 500 price increase grant
ed by OPA to auto retailers.
Partial List Given
Here is a partial list of OPA
allowed price rises last week:
Coal: under Wherry amend
ment, retail rises averaging SOC
ton on anthracite, 18c on bit
luminous, this on top of an av.
erage of ST on anthracite and
SOC on bituminous given pre-
Viously.
Plywood, stock millwork
screen doors, screen goods, doug
las fir doors: from five to 10To
over previous prices, most oi
them allowed under Wherry
amendment.
Canned fruits: on No. 24
cans, from &c for fancy Bartlett
pears to 1c on fancy clins
peaches.
Mechanical refriger ators
about SO, or $40 to $12.
Auto replacement parts
26.8% on radiator hose, 1880
on fan belts, 1870 on bearings
and 15% on most other parts in
Guiding engines and engine
parts.

GREAT BEND, Kans., June 26.
Country elevators were choked
with wheat today in the Nation S
bread belt as the 1946 harvest
reached its peak with a shortage

Nearly 300 grain elevators In
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas have
all the wheat they can handle until
the rail bottleneck is broken. In
some instances grain was piled OF

But there was hope that the trans
portation problem might soon be
solved. An appeal by Gov. Andrew

State is facing critical spoilage OF

more railroad cars TO move grain

British-Canadian Pact
On Wheat Is Reported
Prevented by u. 5. |
b. the Associated Presx


OTTAWA. Ont, June 26.-A
proposed long-term wheat agree.
ment between Canada and Brit
ain has foundered on the rocks
of American opposition in what
may be regarded as an important
test case of the postwar interna-
tlonal trade structure, i was
learned today.
British Food Minister John
Strachey is returning to London
without an agreement after talks in
Washington and Ottawa. He had
hoped to take pact back with him.
The British and Canadians, it is
understood. were about to enter a
10-year agreement under which
Britain would buy Canadian wheat
at S1,25 Canadian per bushel. or S113
United States. The current Cana
dian price is 81 SIS, and the American
! and world price is approximately
$500 Canadian. or around S1.8O,
United States. Hence the proposed
contract would have been at little
more than half the American price.
Firm on Multilateral Trade.
Perhaps more important than
American opposition to this particu-
lar deal, however, is the first Ameri-
can stand faVoring multilateral trade
agreements for the postwar world,
enunciated by the United States
Government in its white paper of
last winter which laid a frame
work for the oft-postponed but still
projected world trade conference.
Canada, as so often in the past,
found herself caught between Brit
/ ain and the United States in their
conflicting view. Britain, with Rus
Sla. has shown frequent prefer
ence for bi-lateral trade pacts and
in the wheat case certainly pre-
ferred it
Canada's announced policy has
been all-out for the .multilateral |
plan, her economic well-being de-
pending on strong general world /.
trade, but in the case of wheat, |
one of her top exports and chief .
money maker, she was strongly
tempted to assure herself of long
range market to cushion against
sharp reverseS such as she had sut-
fered in the past.
Trade Chief Reports.
Food Minister Strachey, in press
conference in Ottawa yesterday,
admitted he had failed to reach an
agreement, but said he hoped one
would be signed later because it
would be suicide for us both if We
didn't"
Even more revealing was brief
but pungent report made later in
the DAY to Parliament by Trade Min
ister James A. MacKinnon. Al /
though stating that substantial
progress" had been made in 10 days
of negotiations with the British. he
took cognizance of the difficulties
involved in placing the sale of
large volume of wheat on a contract
basis for an extended period" He
added significantly: /
"A number of important consid- /
aratlonS have now arisen which must
become matter of reference to the /
Canadian government and the
United Kingdom Government. AS
soon as these matters have been
dealt with by the respective gov
ernments, negotiations will be re-
sumed in respect of the terms of the |
proposed contract"

CPA Plans Big Scrap Drive
To Relieve Steel SHORTAGE
By the Asscciofed pr.s,

A scrap drive of wartime scale and
intensity is planned by the Civilian
Production Administration to rem
edy an iron and steel shortage
which threatens the vital steel in
duStry.
CPA is counting on an increase in
scrap price ceilings-which OPA has
not yet granted-to help bring out
the ideal metal and restore a normal
flow to steel furnaces, a CPA spokes-
man said.
The production agency itself will
undertake simultaneously to scour
Government stocks in the hands of

sets Corp.
The country is down to about
! three million tons supply of scrap
the spokesman estimated. with little
prospect that the battlefield salvage
once counted upon will arrive in
quantities sufficient to improve the
situation materially
