But wo must t'll the rest
of the story, too. The price of
foods is still 18 percent below
1929. Payrolls are much higher
than in 1929. The vvorlr we ok. is
much shorter than in 1929. Ta::es
are infinitely higher than in
1929. All the elements of the
coot of doing business arc up.
The people have more money to
spend than they did in 1929,
which was up to now considered
the high point of consumer pur
chasing power. But because food
prices have'boon ruinously low
for so long, lit^orally at star
vation l’.ycls as far as the farm
ers were concerned, and at little
better than subsistence level for
the great masses of food distri
butors, people immediately start
complaining when the national
economy starts to' right itself.
Comparing the cost of foods
in 1929 with the price as of July
1941 all foods arc 15fj cheaper
than in 1929.
