THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1930. BREAD PRICE PROBE REPORT APPROVED Senate Dlstnct Committee to]- Give Resclution to Senate in Few Days. STRICTLY FRESH EGGS Sunnybrook Guaranteed strictly fresh eggs B o dusaiiotion for 4n fovestis and every one carefully inspected' gation of bread prices in Washington will be reported favorably to the Senate within the next few days, the District Committee having approved it yester- day afternoon after a brief preliminary discussion of the question. Further de- velopments in‘committee will await the Senate's #~tion on the resolution. In bringing up the question, Senato: Capper told his colleagués he bad ceived a number of letters from citiz complaining that while wheat and flou had gone down, there had been practi- cally no reduction in the price of bread. He then outlined the price data he col- lected 1n a preliminary study before drafting the resolution for an inquirg Cost Factors Cited. L. A. Spiess, attorney for the Employ- Ing_ Bakers' Association, discussed the blem briefly with committee mem- ers, pointing out that labor costs, dis- tribution costs and the individyal vol- ume of business of each concern are factors to be considered, aside from the price of wheat, in passing on bread prices. Mr. Spiess explained he was not there on the defensive, but came “by request to find out what the committe: wants of us” He suggested that the commit- tee indicate what it wants the bakers to present. The committee did not go ‘into de- tails in advance of Senat: action on the resolution, but members discussed the matter generally with Mr. Spiess before the meeting adjourned. Senator Capper said one of the com- plaints he wanted to find out about was whether there is a baking trust in this country. Mr. Spiess replied that there] is too much competition in the baking : industry ever to have a monopoly. Mr. Spiess added that “it can’t b done.” Will Provide Food.

The Senator-said it 'was quite understandable that “the pub- lic cannot understand why the price of bread should be the same when wheat goes down.” The Senator said there are other elements to be determined. He favored the resolution. Mr. Spiess told the committee that the baking concerns he represents are fully alive to the distress situation and ; are on record to the effect that if there are any families out of employment, they would be provided with bread. “We don't expect any one to go with- out food if we can aid them,” he added.

BALTIMORE, December 18.—Failure of missionaries and other !ore\gn na- tionals to heed warnings of impending danger, Dr. Chao Chu_Wu, Chinese Minister to the United Statés, said in an address here yesterday, has placed the Chinese government in embarrass- ing positions several times because of kidnapings. The Nanking government, Dr. Wu said, has done its utmost to preserve order in the midst of the banditry that has accompanied chaotic economic and social changes. He blamed the transition from a civil- {zation centuries old to one affected by ‘Western ideas for the upheavals of recent years. The family, Dr. Wu said, 1s disappearing as the social unit, being supplanted by the individual. Half the members of the present min- Sstry hold American university degrees and the head of the judiciary is a graduate of Yale, he pointed out.
