FOOD PRICES. I
FOOD PRICES. I From a careful perusal of Mr. Runciman's statements and the various official pronounce- ments on the subject, the public will not be able to derive much hope of a drop in food prices before the end of the war. It seems that the Government, who are by common consent give" a mandate to exercise the most far-reaching powers in the national interest, are practically impotent to bring prices down in the slightest degree. All that they seem able to promise is that the supply will be maintained, and one is almost led to infer that if this is accomplished the public will have nothing much to grumble at. Adequate supplies are, of course, most important, but one could wish that those in authority would attach a little more importance to the question of prices. The matter cannot be airily dismissed by saying that there arc large numbers of men and women who are earning high wages and who can afford to pay high prices. We all know full well that never before have such high wages ruled in this country, but there are hundreds of thousands of people-, probably millions, whose income is no more than before the war. Adequacy of supplies alone will not give relief, and privation is not less acute because it is due, not to shortage, but to high prices. Indeed it may very well be more acute, because if there were a serious shortage the Government would no doubt be moved from force of circum- stances to undertake some equitable method of distribution. Adequacy of supplies does not solve the problem if purchasing power cannot provide a sufficiency of the necessaries of life. The latest effort of the Government to tackle the problem is the appointment of a Wheat Com- mission, who are to have wide powers with regard to the State acquisition of foreign supplies in order to maintain stocks in this country. Labour has been very anxious for representation on this Commission, but the official reply is that it is a commission of experts, and that there is no good purpose to be served by putting on it outsiders who are not thoroughly versed in all the intricacies of the question. We do not consider that a very conclusive argument. Whether he be a Labour man or one associated with either of the other parties, there ought at any rate to be one independent man on the Commission to hold a watching brief for the public. The public are entitled equally with other interests to have a representative who would see that the point of the consumer was not altogether ignored. He would sit in the same —ifitVuj 1 -e avw-cti-vixjirr-■ mission sits, not because he is an expert, but in order to hear the evidence of experts and to report his conclusions. We feel sure that the public would have much more confidence in the Commission if such a representative wefe added. The Commission has great opportunities for doing good work in the national interest if it directs its energies along the proper lines. For what has already been accomplished and for what the Commission may accomplish in the future it must not be forgotten that we have, to a large extent, to thank the far-seeing Prime Minister of Australia, Mr. Hughes, who is said to have begun the movement when in this country. He has all along been doing what he can in the matter of the food supplies of the Motherland, and even last season the Govern- ment of Australia purchased the whole of the wheat crop ,in the Commonwealth. While we in this country talk hesitatingly about the difficulties of the State ptirchase of home sup- plies, Australia gets to business and without any fuss overcomes what difficulties there might be, not for the benefit of their own people particu- larly, but for the benefit of the people of this country. Our Colonies, who are not tied down by political traditions and the fear of sub- jugating private interests to national interests, have, shown us more than one lesson as to how to do things, and the debt we owe to them is great indeed. A little leaven of Colonial enter- prise and courage would not do the administra- tors of the Motherland any harm in these days when prompt and decisive action is so very necessary. In discussing this question of food supplies and prices, we realise that it is very necessary to know all the facts. The public cannot, of eotirse, know all the facts, for those who are acquainted with the circumstances have only revealed a part of them. All that the public can do is to hope in a blind sort of way that the Government are fully alive to all the necessities of the situation and are doing their best to see that the various factors are not being undulv taken advantage of by profit-seekers. After the war, no doubt, the public will be in possession of sufficient evidence to judge in what manner those in authority have exercised their power for the benefit of the nation. In the meantime it is natural to have a little grumble and to desire information on certain points. For instance, we believe that comment has recently been made in trade papers on the fact that the Government last year bought many million quarters of wheat and that they had not put them on the market. We now know that a Grain Supplies Committee was at work in the early part of 1915 and bought immense quantities of wheat before Mark Lane knew who the real buyers were. One would like to know if that wheat has yet been put on the market, and if not, why not. It is obvious that the withholding of such a large quantity of wheat would tend to keep up the prices. If it has been withheld there may be good reason for it, but when one finds men in the trade asking questions like this, one cannot help feeling a little curious. One is not inspired to over- confidence by the official attitude on some aspects of the question of food prices. For instance, the other day a.N-e saw an' official announcement referring to further exemption for those engaged in milk production and ex- pressing the hope that in view of this concession the price of milk would not be increased again. Pious hopes will not bring food prices down or prevent them going up. While the public feel that the last increase in the price of-milk is not justified, we have an official pronouncement which is almost an invitation to producers to consider the possibility of a further increase. Now we learn from a statement in the House of Commons that the present price is not considered to be justified, and the Board of Trade and Board of Agriculture are considering the matter. It really seems as if the authorities concerned have no clear policy and have not a proper knowledge of the facts. We cannot feel satisfied that the Government have done all thev could to bring down food prices. Their policy in some respects has seemed to be one of benevolent neutrality, which is not very helpful. There ought to be more control over home supplies, and this would have a steadying effect on prices. Further, if the Government had exercised all the influence they might have done we should have had our fair share of the produce of Den- mark and Holland instead of being robbed of our normal supply for the benefit of Germanv. There is plenty of scope for a more thorough policy in dealing with the question of food supplies and prices. I
IA BOON TO WORKMEN.
I A BOON TO WORKMEN. When working men band themselves together earnestly and sincerely to help one another it I is remarkable what a vast amount of beneficent work they can accomplish. This fact is amply demonstrated by the record of what the Aber- gavenny Workmen's Hospital Saturday Fund has achieved during the 21 years of its existence. The contribution of adult members is but id. per week and that of juveniles the still more humble iVd., yet when speaking of what the Fund has accomplished it is possible to do so in terms of hundreds of pounds. For instance, sub- scriptions and special grants to various hospitals amount to no less than £ï89, and the benefit derived by members in payment of doctors' bills, maintenance at various institutions, and in appliances purchased totals nearly (600. It is no exaggeration to say that many local people have had' strong reason to thank the Fund for a restoration to good health by timely treatment at some institution which they could not have entered had they relied on their own resources. Many people, too, have been spared the in- capacity of some permanent physical defect through the operations of the fund. which has supplied them with the appliances necessary to their proper treatment. This is a fine record of which the founders and those who have worked the movement since might well be proud. It would be difficult to find a fund which gives such good value for the amount contributed, and it is a movement with which every working man and his family should be associated, for they know not the day nor the hour when they might require its beneficent help. It is true that most working men come under the operations of the National Insurance Act, but many of them have already found that this measure does not ade- quately provide for all their necessities. The Workmen's Hospital Saturday Fund provides benefits which cannot be obtained under the Act, and the worker who desires to be prepared for all emergencies cannot afford to remain outside this excellent movement. Few funds are worked so economically—the interest on invested capital covering all the working ex- penses-and benefits are awarded without any red-tape restrictions or irritating delays, for the Fund is governed by those who fully recognise the value of promptness. In drawing the attention of working men to this fund we fully believe they would be studying their own best interests in becoming members. The Committee are very anxious to increase the membership and to extend the operations and influence of the Fund. In order to persuade those who still remain outside to come within the movement and strengthen its influence for good, it should be quite sufficient to point to what the Fund has already accomplished. That is convincing enough evidence for anybody as to the ad- vantages of membership and as to the future possibilities of the Fund.
