JOLLOWING The Evening World’s cajl for an immediate ¢o- operative drive of food administrations, Federal, State and local, upon meat profiteers in this city, a meeting of the new Federal Food Board held here the day before yesterday and another scheduled for next Monday, which Administrator Hoover | will attend, hold out promise that food regulation may at last get | down to « plane where consumers in the biggest city in the country can feel the direct benefits of it. | What do reported reductions in food prices mean to the aver- age wage earner unless he can see concrete results thereof in the | money that goes out of his pocket to satisfy the butcher and the, grocer? What's the good of telling New York consumers what big things the Food Administration has accomplished, when their daily , marketing proves to them that flour costs no less, while canned goods and fresh beef of all grades cost MORE than they did last August? When they saw the results of The Evening World’s investi- gation of current retail meat prices in this city, the food regulators themselves were dumfounded at the extent to which New York hatchers have been selling low grade cuts at high grade prices and from 100 to 200 per ceni. profit on what meats cost them at wholesale. Before Thanksgiving it was announced that the retail prices of cold storage turkeys in New York would be fixed at from 28 to 37 cents a pound, according to grade. Yet certain retail poultry dealers did not hesitate to charge the maximum price for birds of inferior quality and even to mark storage turkeys up to “fresh killed” prices if they thought customers would not be too discrim- inating. : It seems to be the small dealer who is taking advantage of the war situation,” says Food Administrator Williams. And deal- ers who do a business of less than $100,000 a year, it is pointed out, are not restrained by the need of Federal licenses. Then restrain the small dealer in another way. Get at him, as The Evening World has urged, through the packer and wholesaler. The Federal Food Administration has already established its authority over the meat packers, A Bring that authority to bear upon the retail meat profiteer: by insisting that no packer or wholesaler shall furnish meat to a butcher who takes the biggest profits he can get, regardless of quality or current prices. Publicity for the profiteers, daily reports of the prices New York consumers should pay for foodstuffs (as contemplated by the State Food Commission) and the constant co-operation of food administrators and the public, can accomplish much—and speedily. However desirable in the end, to get a law providing for the licensing of all retail meat dealers will take time. Why wait—when Federal power can exert itself at once to curb the rapacity of the small dealer by acting through the packer and wholesaler? If a butcher gouges the public, publish his name and place of business and cut off his supplies. As a first means of protecting consumers in this city, The Evening World suggests to the Federal Food Board and co-oper- ating commissions in State and City, this method. ‘ It is practival and prompt. ——++ A salient and Interesting angle of the Russian situation | | presented by Arno Dosch Fleurot, The World's correspondent at Petrograd, who describes tho Seviet's theory of npaign ing’ againat Germany by getting into close fraternal contact with eoldiers of the German armies and plying them with prop aganda of liberalism and peace to bring them to a@ state of mind with which their war lords will havo to reckon. This fraternizing, the Soviet ingeniously argues, te of first rate military value, since it weakens the fighting power of Ger inany; apd Russia's allies ought to view It in that lght and accept {( as the most effective present contribution Russia could make to the cause, There may be more bebind ¢his than a specious excuse for grounding arms to parley with the enemy. It would not be strange if there had been developing 4n soctions of the broada: social strata in Russia a deep yearning that has become more and more articulatg.
