this year made 500 more
profits after taxes than in the
same period last year. The
profit grab will be even larger
during the second half of 1947
due to the sharp price increases
of the past three months.
This profiteering of the food
trusts has raised retail food
prices 4o96 since price control
was destroyed. The nations
grocery bill has been raised $40
billion a year, about SIS a week
per family. The food basket
that cost SIS TO SIT a week
under price control is now
priced at SCI to $23.

have pyramided one price in

marked up price rises from one
level of distribution to the next
until consumers no longer can
afford to buy what their fam
lilies need.
Wholesale prices Of livestock
in Chicago approached the
retail OPA ceiling level of war
days while Pres. Truman's
council of economic advisers

levels are unjustified and that
plans must be made to check
them.

Thunderstorm the fact that
although President Truman has
implored the nation to "eat
less SO that more food could
be sent abroad to "stave off
starvation in Europe this win
ter" the purpose is not human
itarian but political.
Instead of supplying food
throughout Europe on the basis
of need, the Hoover Marshall
Truman plan is to use grains
and meat mainly in an attempt
to stave off leftward trends in
France, Italy and Austria,
called the Crucial areas" in
the European food situation.
Although Poland, Yugoslavia,
Czechoslovakia and other East

stated American aid would be
needed, the federal administra-

would never consent to them,
1T IS THIS fear of the COP
leadership that has forced Tru-
man to move through voluntary
methods to stock pile enough
grain and other food to relieve
the critical situation in west
ern Europe.
The waste less" voluntary

istration got off to horrible
start before a hostile group of
several hundred reporters Oct.

double talk charge that the Am

food.
Reporters for the most con-
sentative newspapers sharply
needed Chairman c h RI e
Luckman of the new Citizens
Food Comm ittee when he
launched into gobblydegook
when asked for answers to
questions on his program.
Although Luckman shrank
from Sen. Robert A. Taft's
blunt "eat less" slogan as B. o.
is supposed to run from his
Lifebuoy soap, it is a fact that
his job is to see that Americans
consume less meat, poultry,
cheese, eggs and bread.

suggestion that bakers sell
leaves for a penny cheaper

stores considerably lighter in
weight. and no control on re-

They need from abroad 2,000,-
900 tons of wheat between now
and next August when new
crops are harvested. They are
asking also $120,000,000 MONTH
ly from now until the time the
Marshall plan gets going and
approximately $1,000, 100000 to
finance vital food, fuel and in
dustrial imports during 1913.
Although the French wheat
supply is already short, pea
SAINT boarding has increased
the shortage. Farmers are
hanging on to it in the hope
of still higher prices. Mean
while, when meat prices rise,
many peasants feed wheat to
the livestock to fatten their
animals and get these higher
prices, thus further reducing
the supply of bread cereals.
The government is powerless
to stop this boarding because
it cannot requisition wheat
from a farmers barn.
Chief Italian shortage is also
wheat. A shortage of 1,200,-
100000 tons is expected before
the next crop is harvested. if
the present bread ration is to
be maintained. AS for fats,
meat and sugar, Italy is con-
sidered better off than a year
ago. But wheat and cereals
account for "a percent of the
average Italians supply of cal

But in terms of wheat saved

little. If farmers can make
more money by feeding wheat
than they can by feeding corn,
they will feed wheat. The

IF CONGRESS were to meet

the Marshall PLAN within two
weeks, l still would expect
most of the governments of
Western Europe to move to the

Our Administration and Con-

that the countries of Europe
will sell out their political birth
