What's to Be Done?

Administration pressure to force
the adoption Of President Truman's
proposed anti-infation panacea in
volving wage and price controls
vas increasing steadily.
Latest in a procession of cabinet
members testifying before congress
sional committees in favor Of price
controls was Clinton P. Anderson.
secretary of agriculture.
He bluntly warned the house
banking and currency committee
that unless rising meat costs are
halted price controls on that COM
modify would be necessary by early
spring. Describing meat and grain
as foodstuffs in which early short
ages can be foreseen. Anderson
pointed out the likelihood that early
1913 would see tantastiCally high
prices of meat.
There was a %profusion of thinking
on the imitation problem which so
far had done little except to pro-
mote widespread disagreement and
uncertainty among the people.
