(By United Press)
LONDON. Oet. 20—The retail cost
of food in the United Kingdom has
more than doubled since the beginning ■ i
of the war. says the National Food i i
Journal, the organ of Lord Rhondda, j
the British Food Controller. Some
of the causes of this increase are ! <
given as follows. *
“The high prices charged in coun
tries from which imports of food are i
obtained, owing in large measures to i
either exceptional demand or general 1
shortage in supply. These high pri- i
ces are outside the control of the i
Home Government.
"The rise in price due to inflation, i
which may occur either directly i
through an increase in currency or i
more indirectly through the addition- ;
al extent to which credit is increased, i
when loans are raised, and the Gov-1.
ernment which borrows is a large' i
spender. i
i ue ntgn freight rates on the At- I
lantie routes, the great increase in
war-risk insurance, and the difference ,
in rates of exchange.” (
The public, of course, suspects pro
fiteering.” adds the Journal, “and ask 1
what is being done with the middle- j.
men who come in between the re- I j
tail purchaser and the consumer. The j
answer is that the predatory middle
man without legitimate trade in tee- ~
est who buys merely in order to sell
at a profit, has been almost eliminat
ed. The necessary middleman who is
merely out to make what he can >'s
being taught that he must not make
undue profits out of the nation's ne
cessity, and Cost Accountants of tfce
Ministry of Pood, with their patrio
tic provincial helpers, have been
brought into eitistance for the express
i purpose of ascertaining what profits
arc fair and what profits are exces
sive. The Pood Controller wll fix pro
fit-restricting at every stage.”
