The Week In '
Washington
IX Resume of Governmental Hap- 1
pemngs in the National Capital :
Washington. D. C.. Sept. 21. ? V
Goaded or. by union leaders who
threaten to demand higher wages in i
war plants unless the cost ot living
is decreased, several government agencies
are now busy carrying on pro- J
grams which they promise will bring
the cost of living back, to the level
el September 15. 1S42 "
Although the plans for doing this
will cosi the taxpayers nur.dreds of a
millions oS dollars it isn't likely that J!
the bojusew'ife. who does ti family
buying, will note any major price '
relief. The cost of butter may be ?
reduced a cer.t ,t pound, oranges may cost
her a cent r two less. d '
there are apt to be ether reductions !'
ot a penny or so in products she *
buys. But since prices new vary considerably
from store to store and ;
from day to day. the only evidence j'
of the reduction it the cost of living
will show up ir. overall national a
figures. "
Already the government has spent _
mcnt' nx ill mn - r. , <> mr-lr -trrV.-.c
on meat, but the expected benefits | I
to the cor.sur.ier have not rnaUrU-l- J J
5zed because of black market operation*
in meat. John U. MiBer
president emeriti;-- : the .National
C. ancit of Farm Cooperatives. at
recent feecting of tana cooperatives
here, said that the neat situation
could cc cleared up until farmers
get u better price for meat unci arcno
longer encouraged to seek higher
price? by dealing with black market
operators.
Mr. Miller called for repeal of
the Price Control act saying that the
prices formers receive must be established
by supply and demand and
not by artificial manipulation bat !
the government. ' While the unci
administration is ore of ?h<: ijiwt
disturoing and dangerous of all governmental
agencies." said Mr. Miller.
'.Ml has Inadvertently performed cue
public service. This because its op- j
orations arc such as to call alter.! ion
if the people lo the dancer of a
planned economy, toward which thiemmtry
is so rapidly moving."'
Whether if is meat or other farm
products, spokesmen ai the farm i
meeting said, prices to the farmer
must he enough '<> pay for the cost
of production, plus a reasonable profit.
er larmers are forced to disregard
ceding prices and sell at higii-.
r prices through the black market.
The new roil back pine for fruits
and vegetables, to be carried but
under the ditec (ion of Marvin Jones,
War Food administrator, aims at an
immediate reduction of 1 per cent
in the cost of living. Seporale plans,
to be operated by the WFA and by
the Office of Price Administration,
arc now in operation to lower the
price to the consumer at apples,
oranges, onions, lard, potatoes, peanut
butter and edible vegetable oils,
The plans include direct subsidies to
farmers as well as transportation
subsidies.
The new program was started the
day before Congress opened without
authority from Congress. Mr. Jones
said congressional approval was not
needed, but it seemed likely thai
congress will investigate these plans
to determine whether the cost which
will probably be 100 million dollars,
is a worthwhile expenditure. Many
congressmen are opposed to subsidies
and do not think prices can or
should be maintained by this meth-1
ad. They also feel that the launching
of the program on the day before
congress convened was a deliberate
attempt to sidestep congressional
opposition.
It is likely, however, that the plan
will get a thorough test before congress
has time to do anything about
it for the new sessicr. of congress
is loaded with problems which dc- <
mand immediate consideration. The '
food prices and subsidies are high
on the list of subjects for consideration,
but immediate action is also *
called for on new taxes, on the manpower
problem, on the complicate i
subject of post-war planning and on
more effective ar.ti-strike legislation.
