LONDON, Jan. 8 (by mail).—There
was a margarine queue in King’s Road
as I came downtown this morning.
The snow of last night had become
slush, the sidewalks were wet and
some of those in the queue, crowded
off the sidewalk, stood in slush of the
street. An icy wind was blowing.
The noon editions of the afternoon
j newspapers reported margarine and
! meat queues in many other parts of
the city, in ’most every part, in fact,
where there was margarine on sale.
A short time ago the prime minis
ter, speaking on the food situation,
remarked significantly, “There are no
food queues outside the co-operative
i stores.” So I went down into Alders
I gate this afternoon to ask the co-oper
ators why. In the depot of the co
operative wholesale societies—as big
a wholesale house as I’d ever seen in
America—1 was referred to B. Will
iams, head of the Co-Operative Union,
whose office had been crowded by
the growth of business into one of the ]
overflow buildings in a nearby street.
“The trouble,” said B. Williams,
j "is that: the government has not yet
I realized that we are at war, or it has
not carried the realization i|^o our
j commercial life. The plain fact is
I that the function >of controlling the
j people’s food never should have been
put into the hands of any man whose
life-training has been profit-making.
His experience in life has been such
as to totally unfit him for such a
post.”
Several months ago when Lord Dev
on port, himself a commission mer
chant. was retiring from the job of
food controller, Williams was sug
gested as a possible successor. The
suggestion apparently did not get very
far. Trying to visualize him in the
vole I fell to wondering why he looked
so familiar and where I could have
seen him before. Suddenly it came
to me that it wasn't any single person
he reminded me of, but a sort of com- I
posite person. He had the look about j
him of those various clerks in dif <
ferent stores that my mother always i
used to ask for when she wanted to
be sure of what she was getting. He
looked reliable and gave the impres
sion of wishing to serve, rather than
to sell.
He would look quite at home today
behind the counter of one of my
mother’s favorite stores and vet here
he is head of the Co-Operative Union.
To make this mean something, it
might be mentioned that the ro oper
ators have the largest flour mills in
the world and one of the largest shop
factories; that there are 4.500,000 of
them; that the immense building
around the corner is only one of the
many and not by any means the
largest; that their own hank in the
last quarter did a business of $075,
000,000.
“The control of food supplier” said
Williams, “should have been entrusted
to a board, who have had experience
in co-operation. All the talk just now
is of unity and coordination, but they
don’t apply it to the crying need of
the food situation. Such a board of
control should have had wide
administrative and executive pow
ers. Its sole object for exis
tence should have been to see that
all available foodstuffs were bought
at the most reasonable prices and
equitably distributed at the most eco
nomical cost.
“The trouble from which the peo
ple have suffered most during the last
j three and a half years has been the
■ impossibility of getting Mr yoy(j
...—"—..
George and his fantastic caravan o
assorted antiques to realize the na
tion is at war. Before the food situa
tion grows too serious for salvatioi
there ought to be a bold and perenip
tory demand for Ihe dismissal of th<
present army of incompetents fron
the numerous food departments am
the installation of capable bodies o
committeemen and managers.”
“Where are you going to find a!
this talent?” I asked
“Well, we’ve always found it."
"You must pay a pretty good pric
for it.”
B. Williams laughed. “The men
bers of uor board of managers ge
just $2,000 a year each.”
“How do you keep them?”
“Most of them have grown up ii
the co-operative movement and thor
oughly believe in it- They prefer tb
service they are rendering to tb
profit they might be making. Once it
a long w hile, of course, one is temptet
away by a big salary that a concen
insignificant in size compared to ours
can afford to offer. But we nevei
lose the best ones.
“There’s another phase of it, too
Big business isn't half the mysterj
that it is made out to be. It is reallj
pretty simple; we are able to furnisl
exact reports of our operations to out
millions of members in language tha
nearly any one of them can under
stand. And judged by ordinary stand
ards, ours would be considered aniaz
ingly complex, with our steamships
our acres of tea lands in Ceylon, wlieai
lands In Canada, our insurance de
partment, banking business, clothing
factories, poultry farms and so on.
“We could easily make a mysterj
of it, but our profits are not intended
to be hidden; since they go to th<
4,500,000 members, they are entitled
to know how' they are produced.”
In conclusion, Mr. Williams ob
served that in his opinion the co-oper
ators could solve the British food
situation and would welcome the op
portunity to do it.
