There is more than one way of blunder- ing, and Washington knows them all.—Key West Citizen. Coming home from Jack- sonville the other day it occurred to us that we seem to be trying to fight this war with a bluhdersbus.—Sanford Herald. Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold has brought suit against the As- iated Press and every member of the as- sociation, of which The Citizen is a part, is a defendant in the suit. The charge is that the acts of the corporation constitute 2 combination and conspiracy in restraint of interstate trade and commerce in viola- tion of the Act of July 2, 1890, entitled “An Act to Protect Trade and Commerce Against Unlawful Restraints and Monop- olies.” THE BUTCHER, THE BAKER, THE CANDLESTICK MAKER , | Key Westers, who went to a grocery | and bought some foodstuff at a certain | price, returned a day later and learned | they must pay several cents more for the | same thing, can breathe freely now, as a re- | sult of ecmmodities. The Citizen doesn’t accuse any local ' grocer cf gouging, yet it seems strange that one grocer, during the time prices were sky- | rocketing in Key West, sold some article ot | food at several cents lower than it was of- | fered for sale by another grocer. The latter’s stock excuse was, “The wholesaler is charging me more and I must, therefore, charge you more.”’ When it was pointed outthat such-and-such was charging less, the former always ex- “It’s old stock he’s selling!” the by a claimed, But, time and time again, had been bought that very day stock the How is it that today we know of one grocer who sells condensed milk for 13 cents a can and another charges 17 cent Both get their milk from the same source and, | presumably, pay the same price for it. | That forces one to the conclusion that one grocer is satisfied with a fair | while the other But gouging grocers now will toe the same mark with cther groc who base their charges on what was for ihe product and not because of condi- | tions.

Tihere are gouging wholesalers too, and the latter now forced to play the game fairly and not take advantage of the boom that is a result of the war. At the time when The Citizen com- | plained about the placing of our rent levels | back to October 1, 1942, it was pointed out that that order was discriminative in view of the fact that nothing had been done io stop soaring prices for the necessities of life. While The Citizen has not changed its opinion about the arbitrary action in forcing back our rent scale to two months before we entered the war, yet it joins Key Westers in rejoicing that the butcher, the } baker and the candlestick maker are now | under the same governmental control as are the landlords. | are ‘THE NEED FOR SCRAP The steel industry of the United States | will require 17,000,000 tons of scrap iron | and steel by the end of this year. It is estimated that probably ten iimes the amount of scrap needed is available in homes, factories, on farms and in aban-| doned buildings, railroads, bridges and in- dustrial plants. With the needs recognized and ihe | existence of scrap admitted, the problem is to persuade men, women and _ children throughout the nation to make the neces- sary effort to collect the scrap for delivery to the steel mills. This newspaper, American newspapers, along paign. The bottlers have offered their facilities in a thirty-day drive to collect scrap. What the result will be depends, not upon the newspaers or the bottlers, but upon the people of the country. | Millions of tons of scrap in backyards, under stairways, in basements and garages | will remain where it is unless individuals | eollect it and turn it in. | 999 OUT OF EVERY 1000 __ __ | Practically every person worries at | times about malnutrition and blames body | aches and pains upon some deficiency in diet. | Certainly, it is well that human bea ings have begun to give serious consider tion to the foods that build and maintain | the body. It is rather remarkable when | we consider the matter, that for many een- | turies little or no attention was paid to the question of diet. | It may comfort some of us to be told that only one person in a thousand escapes malnutrition.
