(Continued on Paua TaU Discussion of high prices and profit eering chaTges particularly in , regard to the necessities of life insofar as the food administration is concerned, have lacked such definiteneee that he local administration has been unable to function in correcting alleged condi tions. General assertions cannot be used by the administrator In proceed ing against any , dealer. . The subject has been brought to the attention of Administrator J. G. Mc cormick many times, but always in such indirect, general or Indefinite manner, that specific action has not been taken and will not because it can not be taken unless specific instances are , cited. . Mr. McCormick has never been advis ed of a case wherein he could proceed. He repeated- yesterday that If 'any one who knows of an Instance qf aretall er charging an excessive pnce will report it to. rhim giving the name of the' merchant and supplying the eri dence for prosecuting the case, he would be only too glad to go into It. v If, upon investigation, any meat dealer, or dealer in other food prod ucts, , is found guilty of overcharging the dealer will be placed on the unfair list and licensed dealers notified not to sell him merchandise. Furthermore, he said that in such instance the re port of the' findings of the foodad ministration would be published'' and a notice posted on the front of the es tablishment advising the people of the dealer's unpatriotic act and warning them not to patronize tne .establish ment. Mr. McCormick states that he has received a number of complaints of overcharges but in nine cases out of ten the informant absolutely refuses to permit his name to be used in the investigation. He elso pointed out the Impossibility of; the Administration convicting any dealer of profiteering when the consumer,-' and those who make the complaint, decline to give him the benefit of the Information they have. If the consumer will point out specific cases of profiteering, and then allow his name to be used if neeessary, or agree to testify against the accused should the occasion arise, then Mr. McCormick states he will be in posi tion to get a more comprehensive vis ion of conditions and, if wrong, cor rect them. . V Some weeks- ago a member of the Rotary club addressed a communica tion of the secretary of the club giv ing comparative prices on staple ar ticles of food in St. Louis and in Wil mington, enclosing, as substantiation an advertisement taken from a St. Louis paper, quoting proces on stan dard articles. This was forwarded by the secretary to. the food : administra tor. Another comparison was furnish ed M5. McCormick during, the past week, it coming through, the same source. In speaking of the matter yes terday Mr. McCormick etated that it was natural that beef prices in St. Louis should be lower than in Wil mington since -the freight rate on western beef is much lower than it is here. This argument is held as sound, since'St. Louis is several hundred vniles nearer the source of the product in Wilmington, but the advertisement also contained the prices on a number of standard articles of food that should cost no more in Wilmington than in the Missouri city, it is pointed out, and ihose interested feel that the mat ter is worthy .of an investigation, and Mr. McCormick has given assurance that it will get due consideration. Universally high prices, it js argued by those who deny profiteering condi tions, are the cause of dissatisfaction exnressed here. People forget. It is arerued farther, that wages, too, are I higher- than ever before. It ts declar ed that the generality of people ap pear to want to enjoy the highest re muneration they have- ever enjoyed, and at the same time enjoy pre-war prices on what they buy.- . There is plenty of discussion, one way and an other, for the subject of high prices touches a vital spot. If profiteering exists, it is, pointed out pointedly", somebody who; is the victim should speak right out, and talk concrete facts, giving names, times, places and all necessary facte.
