That we will continue our efforts to reduce the spread between prices paid to the grower and prices charged to the consumers. That to this end we will continue to do everything in our power to assist the farmers and growers of America in the ordei ly marketing of their products at the fairest possible prices to them. That we will make every effort to hold our inventories at the lowest point con sistent with good service to our customers because hoarding, whether by whole salers. retailers, or consumers, will cause higher prices. That we will endeavor to continue to pay our employees the highest wages and to give them the best working conditions in the grocery business generally. That we will make every effort to continue to sell food at retail at the lowest gross margin of profit in the history of the retail grocery business. f , v*”' ^ * Today we are providing food for our customers at the lowest gross profit rate in the history of the retail grocery business. This means that we have achieved efficiencies in the distribution of food never before attained. More of your food dollar goes fo>- food and less for overhead expenses than ever before. No other great retail business in the United States in any field is operated with such a low cost of distribution. No one in the food business can control the wholesale price of food. Only the government of the United States has power to do this, and for the protection of our people this power in the government is now a necessary power. Today, with the nation at war, we believe that no private interest has any rights in conflict with the general public interest. The “armed forces of the United States are today receiving more and better food than ever before in our national history. It is equally important that all of our people working and living behind the lines, men, women and children, shall be better fed and better nourished than ever before in our national history.
