BTORAGE HOUSES REPORT IF) Storage Now Than Last Year. and Voluntary Figures Are Incomplete. By Sophie Irene Loeb. World.) WASHINGTON, D. ©, Deo. 18— recelved by the Office of Markets {zations on the amount of meat kept in storage. | It is but a partial) report and only voluntary from) the producers, I have spent sev- | eral days here and one of the most crying needs is for | There is no such thing THEY FEEL LIKE IT. For example, stor reports te the Government are perfuno- | tory and purely voluntary. The | appended report of meat is buta | report of this y of life. And it ie not incumbent or mandatory on any storage warehouse contains ing common commodities to issue such report to the Federal Gov- ernment, According to the Office of Mar- kets and Rural Organizations, these reports to the Federal Gov- ernment are merely courteous contributions to this office, There- fore, on every storage report t 1 appears: “Inasmuch as some of | the cold storage firms have not reported their holdings, this re- port is not quantitatively com- plete.” So that a true state of facte as to the country’s food supply in cold storage cannot be obtained except the producers see fit te give them out to the Govern- ment. le it any wonder that the Sher- man law may be violated by “gentlemen ements” to fix prices js it any wonder that the artificial middleman freely gets credit on one storage receipt after another, tucked in hie that hie stuff long as the local municipal law will allow. There ls no official tab kept on & and he may forestall the mar- ket without the Government being any the wi He may stand in jay of the neces- toll rby—an artificial price which each must nay to get.

A HUGE ADDING MACHINE WITHOUT IDEAS. And thus, in this Department of Marketa we have 250 employees in the form of human adding machine counting up statistics that may or may not be reliable, and yet every one is very, very busy. And has anybody in this depart- ment @ single idea that he could sug- Gest to get at this market situation @ single idea that would reduce the cost of one common commodity? Not one. In fact, I top if in all od those nearest the eir figuring had they not found something as @ solution to, the high cost of living they could of- fer to the head of the department. Nobody home. It i# not within their province to. and Rural Organ- | suggest anything, “Nobody asks you,| sir, he said.” What 1s food compared to figures? In truth, even the head of the de- partment, Charles J. Brand, doesn't suggest any remedies unless he is asked, mandatory measure is needed and has been for ages, Besides, law-mak- ing or suggesting statute hasn't the power to do so. And there you are, Of course there are all kinds of re- out from this department, and some- times somebody sets forth a few different commodities, REPORT.
