How this can be checked la the jnrob- lem which is receiving serious at tention from the “best minds” in officialdom. Naturally, if farmers are to get more for their products, some body must pay more; and the one who pays is always, in the long run, the ultimate consumer. More than that, there is what appears to he, a very definite pol icy being worked into various tradb codes, which would pre vent any irocer from offering the sort of “bargain” prices to which most folks in towns where there are chain groceries or highly competitive stores have become accustomed. This policy is for the protection of storekeepers against unfair competition.

C. for October 1st, 1933. ~ - jgtate of North Carolina. Coun ty of Wilkes. Before me, a Notary Public in and for the State and count.v aforesaid, personally appeared Julius C. Hubbard, who, bavins been duly sworn according to saler, while the wholesaler in | turn must place a minimum | "mark-up” of 2 1-2 percent above cost to him on everything he sells. ’The theory is that this will put a stop to what are known in retail trade as “loss leaders.” meaning goods offered below cost to lure buyers Into the store, where they are expected to buy enough profitable merchandise to make up the loss on the “lead ers.” Naturally, the small indepen dent grocer Is the one who can least afford this “loss leader” system, especially where he Is carrying most of his customers on credit, and the Government policy is aimed primarily at the cash stores and the big chains, to keep them from unfairly com peting with the little fellow. Between the farmers, who are still getting only 64 per cent as j much for their average products | as they did before the war, and | the retailers, who must raise | prices not only to pay more to! the farmers but to suppress un fair competition, the consumer | seems to be between the upper and nether millstones. Where Theory Went Wrong The theory was that the NRA : would put all the unemployed back to work at once, with a higher average wage level, so that by the time retail prices be gan to rise there would be plenty of money in circulation and no body would complain much about the increase. But it hasn’t work ed out that way. There are still, according to Government esti mates. about eight million unem ployed who will have to be hons-1 ed and fed at public expense for '' the next few' months. So a very ! slight increase in the cost of liv- , ^m any good at reading the signs of the times, we’ll be putting up speedy settlement of the mone- new houses and rebuilding old tary system. Once the dollar Is stabilized, so that everybody will have full notice as to what it Is going to be worth next year or five years from now, credit will loosen up, industry and business can get financed, long-time pro duction plans can safely be adopted, more men can he put back to work, wage-money will begin to flow with something like its old volume and rapidity, and food prices can be put up to a figure that will give the farmer a fair return for his capital and labor. Probably no one person in the Government understood this whole chain of cause and effect three months ago. Everybody in the Administration understands it now. And that understanding of the Importance of currency stabilization on some basis or other, but in any event quickly, is the driving force behind the effort to come to a decision as to what to do about money.
