TAYLOR Editor’s Note: This is the second ‘HH.

No subsidies are needed to roll in a series of three articles by Ralph! by OPA, is 52 cents a box, or approximately $350 per car, and it is reported that total mark ups from the terminal market acutions to the consumers. sometimes amount to as much as 150 per cent. Consumers are paying high prices for chickens, but poultry producers are going bankrupt. In many instances, even though consumers are paying extortionate prices, the ceilings placed on prices paid to the farmer are so low that he must either go broke—or go dishonest. There is no escaping that conclusion and \if we are to escape becoming a nation of cheaters it is about time someone in Washington woke up to conditions. Let’s look at some of the conditions which have resulted from this back prices on farm commodities. Every practical farmer knows that —and it is about time the government learned that! The main thing that is needed, if ‘both the producer and the consumer are to be treated fairly, is to “squeeze the water out of the stock” —in other words, to eliminate the (present outrageous mark-ups which the OPA is allowing middlemen and wholesalers and handlers of farm products. j Today, under OPA’s system of fixing price ceilings on each transaction — except the last transaction, ‘when the product is actually sold to ‘the consumer—middlemen are getting rich and the farmer and the “@onsumer are both getting bilked. That is a strong statement, but the tacts substantiate it, for the farmer ‘today is getting the lowest percent' tage of the consumer’s dollar he has _ ever received—-and the consumer, in ‘mest instances, is paying the highgst prices on record. ‘Prior to this year, the brokerage charge for carload lots of onions in eastern markets was 5 cents a 100 : ind sack.

The state chamber action is based on a report subbitted to the board, meeting here today, by iis special committee on manpower problems, headed by Alfred J. Lundberg of Oakland. In presenting the report Lundberg emphasized the importance of the West Coast Manpower Control Program. .‘‘It will affect the, operations and employment program of every. non-agricultural employed in California regardless of the size of his operations,’ Lundberg said. ‘“The controls over production and services have far reaching implications affecting civilian® as well as war prothe rest—and no compulsory price ceilings would be necessary. During the last war, it might be pointed out, farmers —-unhampered by artificial restrictions—went ahead was stepped up 50 per cent in one year! Incidentally, while prices inand other factors, they, were far low(er than prices today. And 'the total . cost of the food administration, in . World War I, was-about 8 million, in this war!
