Following The Evening World's disclosure, the Pennsylvania Railroad declared an embargo on potatoes. The famine plea was ex- ploded. The price of potatoes promptly came down, This is a sample of what vigilance can accomplish toward keep- ing down food prices and what it ought to accomplish all over the country with the backing of Federal authority. Gov. Edge of New Jersey has just reported an investigation in that State which shows that retail dealers handling New Jersey prod- ucts in New York City have made from 90 to 900 per cent. profit. Perhaps these retailers would maintain that what the President said to food handlers last April—“the country expects you, as it expects all others, to forego unusual profits”’—could not apply to them, inasmuch as from 90 to 900 per cent. are, in their case, only usual profits. The more reason for Mr. Hoover to make every consumer in the country his aid in directing the Federal power to each and every point where it can deal with those who deem a people’s food supply in war fair field for pillage. — Sy Insisting that the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine is a de- wand of justice upon which France can never compromise, Premier Ribot adds: “France does not ask that the aggressor be fined, but only that the aggressor be obliged to repair the damage he has done.” order to rec /Do Your THANKS DEAR - UST WHAT | WANTED.
