OF BiG ARMY FOOD SURPLUS BY EVENING HB gudcesstul fight whieh ‘The: Gvening World has waged to gain forthe peo- ple of New York a part of the huge strpltis of army food to be distributed to conkumers at cost was begun three weeks ago, It was waged and won in the face of many obstacles, chief among Which Was the fact that the:city was without available funds to purchase the food. As a direct result of The Even- ing World's campaign, the suc- cess of which was announced to- day in despatches from Washing- ton, a severe blow has been dealt to the food profiteers, The release of millions of pounds of army bacon, canned meats, cereals and other products is expected not only to bring immediate relief to the poor, but also to cause a de- cided drop in retail prices throughout the city. When The Pvening World first called the attention of the public to the great surplus stores of army food in warehouses in this vicin- ity its market expert, P. Q. Fay, undertook to interest city officials in the plan to purchase tbis food from the Government and have it distributed to the people at cost. Dr. Jonathan Day, Commis- sioner of Markets, was tho first to whom the plan was outlined. The Commissioner gave the plan 4is approval, but the city was powerless to act, having no funds He said, however, that the city might be able to help im distrib- uting it. ; ‘The plan was next preserited by The Evening World representative to Edwin O'Malley ant Miss Cauble, Deputy Market Commis- sioners. Both were enthusiastic, but again the Inck of funds was emphasized, Mr. O'Malley held RATES OR HG CST OF NEATS Argentina) Product. Carried’ to London for Half the Rate ito New York.

The determining factor, be says, is refrigerated ton- niigé between South America and the United States. Mr. Benjamin, an independent} packer with vast plants in Argentine | and Uruguay, has recently returned | from @ tour of those countries and | Braatl. He says the quality of much | of éhe food sold here is of lower au- tritious value than that obtained by the poorest people of South America. The best meat and meat products, for instance, he saye, ts sold in other markets, owing to freight rates. The Fate on meat, for instance, from Ar- gentina to New York is 5 cents, while from Argentina to London by! way of New York it is only 2 1-2 cents. “Who fixes the rates?” he was asked, *The yessel owners, “The United States Shipping Board has it in its power to give this coun- try what it needs and deserves—an even show with other countries. If it will give us refri ited tonnage, as others have, and will make an equitable rate on Bouth American products, we shal soon find the cost of living going down here instead of going up.” RED STAR LINERS TO RUN AGAIN TO ANTWERP PORT I.-M. M, President Sails for Europe to Complete Arrangement for Re-Establishing Service. ; When the White Star liner Cedric sailed for Liverpool this afternoon shipping men predicted something big would be heard upon the arrival of P. A. 8, Franklin, President of the Inter- national Mercantile Marine Company, out the first encouragement when he said he thought it might be possible to get the Government to consign the food to the city as its nt. “Rex the interest of Capt.

These long to the Quarter partment and have charge of the ‘warehouse at No. 461 Eighth Ave- nue, where samples of the Gov- ernment’s surplus food supplies are stored, Both Capt. Stewart and Lieut, Dee fell in with the plan, but they presented another obstacle. They. said they bad orders from the War Department to reosive bids for the food, but to make no sales. They didn't see how the food could be consigned to the city as agent. In the meantime The Pvening World continued its fight, and other cities became interested. These included Newark, Hoboken, Paterson, Nutley, Mount Vernon and New Brunswick, N. J.
