Wallace and Taylor, then it shall raise
up it's own champion, to in deed and
in fact carry on the fight for the

Yes, the Tuesday happenings were
in no sense a defeat of Wallace or
the Progressive Party-neither was
it the victory currently being credit
ed to Truman and the Democrats.
but victory for the farmer and lab

Republican reaction, chose a lesser

Editor peoples Voice"
Helena, Montana
read with mingled feelings, ella
ton and disappointment, your article
in the November 5 issue of Peoples
Voice what Wallace Accomplish
ed"
The elation died with the second
paragraph and part of the second
paragraph was not nearly complete
in that the drift of the nation was
not only toward war but toward far
more dangerous goal, Fascism; and
it was against this disaster that Wal
lace warned as emphatically as
against war.
While the number of votes by
states was small, their impact was of
vital Importance for several reasons.
Chief of which was that but for the
huge Wallace vote in New York
state, Truman might well have car
ried that state. 1t would have led
the Democrats to claim the same sort
of mandate claimed by the Repub-
licans in 1916. | do not subscribe
to the idea that the Wallace move
ment lost strength as the election
neared, through the repentance of
the Democratic party of their re-
action. The small vote for Wallace
can be accounted for by the fear on
the part of labor that the Republi-
cans might win. 1t was not case of
electing Tweedledum but of BEAT
ING Tweedledee.
The last part of paragraph three is
aptly phrased-"There was but one
thing the Democrats could do-quit
flirting with reaction and once again
assume the role of the liberal coun-
terpart of our customary two-party
system" Anyone who has watched
the Democratic party - with few
notable exceptions - must definitely
conclude that liberalism will truly be
a role or part played and that role
very definitely assumed.
True, in some sections of the ma
ton, namely the Jim Grow" South,
and the .reactionary farm belt, Wal
lace was the Whipping Boy, and
vet he or the Progressive Party drew
very little heat off or bleached the
red smear on Senator Murray.
Let it be here stated that it is
the purpose of the officers of the
Progressive Party to maintain an
active and militant program, not
only as a police force of either or
both of the old parties, not ready"
to step forward, but constantly
MARCHING forward, not to be-
come a second party, but as the
second party. Although the Re-
pubHcans will be very slow to ad-

A & p HEAD SAYS
COMPANY WILL
FOLLOW TREND

John A. Hartford, president of
A & P Food Stores, says that A & P
food prices will follow the market
trend and that any reductions in
the price Of food to the company
Will be passed along to consumers.
Taking cOgnizance of the recent
commodity changes, Mr.. Hartford
said:
Frankly, it is impossible for
anyone to predict future retail food
prices without knowing whether
the current break in commodity
markets is temporary or the begin
ming of a general trend.
"Grocers do not control the pri-
ces they must play for food. They
can lower retail prices only to the
extent TO which they buy wisely,
keep their own costs and profits
down and pass along savings re-
sulting from lower Wholesale pri-
ces to their customers.
Milford chronicle., 1948-02-20

I'VE are food merchants, not food
spectators, and we do not attempt
to build up great sources of food
when the market is low in antici-
patton of higher prices. We go into
the market daily to buy sufficient
food to meet our immediate needs
and we base our retail price on the
wholesale cost plus a fixed mark
up. The mark-up averages less
than Is cents out of each custO-
mer's dollar In our case it covers
rent, salary, advertising, light,
Milford chronicle., 1948-02-20

"The current price reductions
announced by A & P are in line
with the traditional A & P policy of
promptly rejecting in our retail
prices any reductions in the cost of
food to us.
In a rising market, however, it
has been our policy not to raise our
retail prices until the supply of the
commodity bought at the lower
price is exhausted. This policy is
designed to give the customer a
break in both cases.

heat, trucking, and all other costs
of doing bushes, as well as our
small profit.
1T is safe to predict, therefore,
that A & P prices will pretty gem
orally follow the market trend. and
that any reduction of the price Of
food to us, or in our costs Of doing
lower prices in our stores.
