JONCES that exert the most violent opward pressure on foc Prices in thie country are not economi Evidence piles up to prove it. Another commission— wuthorized in this case by Congress to investigate food conditions in he City of Washington—finds “reports of food shortage to be mis- eading.” “There ie no just ground,” the investigatora declare, “for such vigh prices of many prodycts as are demanded of the consumer at this time.” Shipments of foodstuffs are shown to be “abnormally held up, and the food supply, therefore, abnormally depleted.” A power ful and constantly active factor in increasing prices is speculation ‘The sending of food to belligerent countries, it is pointed out, need not have affected the prices of potatoes, eggs and onions, Yet these prices wore boosted along with those of other foods, After all, Americans are not fools. When they see 250 carloads of eggs traded back and forth by Chicago egg brokers for two or three weeks on a stretch, while the price is being jacked up, nobody is going to persuade them that only “immutable economic law” is baring their tables and draining their pocketbooks, Some of the nation’s great food producers are frankly and openly warning the public not to believe tales of dire scarcity and prohibitive prices ahead. Only yesterday President Babst of the American Sugar Refining Company issued a statement aimed to persuade consumers of the foolishness of hoarding sugar, “which is tending unnecessarily to raise prices and especially to embarrass the manufacturing and preserving industries of the country.” His company, he asserts, is confident of its ability to meet the needs of its trade at reasonable prices provided housewives will “do their bit by paying no attention to sensational stories and by buying sugar in usual quantities and not) in advance of household needs.” Speculation on the one hand and panic on the other can produce | perturbations in food prices far more violent and alarming than any| chargeable to “merciless economic law.” That is why, with food looming larger than ever as the all-im-| portant factor in the plans of the United States and its allies,| thoughtful men begin to discuss the wisdom of establishing a supreme! food-dictatorship through which the people of this country, while! vending their energies to making war, may be protected from ex- ploitetion and the evil effects of rumor and panic encouraged by rth. leas profiteers. | + + | One of the first discouragements met with by many who are planning gardens ‘s their inability to have them ploughed Promptly and for a reasonable price.
