prices arc a necessnry consequenco
of the regulations established during
the war period. The chief reason for
the general advance of all food com
modities lies, he said, in the high price
of wheat. The high price allowed by
ti e government for sugar was also an
important contributing reason, Mr
Dunbar said the government hail fixed
the price of wheat at $2.25 per bushel
to the farmer and sugar at $7.28 per
hundred to the producer. Assuming
the two commodities as the basis on
which the bulk of other food prices
are fixed, he stated that-the whole
saler of sugar makes a profit of no
more than $25 on a $1,000 Bale of sugar.
In 'the same degree, wholesale dealers
in flour also made a comparatively
small amount on their product. lie
stated that he believed that prices in
many lines are due to go even higher
than they are at present. owing to
varlons eeonomle factors. The speak
er instanced coffee as one of the com
modities which is practical’ certain
to make further advances. Dried fruits
are also among the food supplies which
will probably reach higher figures.
The reason given were purely economic
and proved his contention in a con
clusive manner, at least to the mind;
of the laymen who possesses little
knowledge of production costs and
economic conditjons. Following his
talk Mr Dunlinr answered a number
of questions relative to food supplies
Mr l„nmen having appeared by this
time, lie was asked to read the tele
gram from former Territorial Food
Administrator I’. U. ltrndley authoriz
ing the appointment of the commit
tee. Mr Lomen explained briefly what
he understands to be their duties and
powers.
of investigation l»e handled through
sub-committees, each delegated to un
dertake a distinct line of investigation,
such as food, fuel, clothing, transpor
tation. etc. At Mr Txunen’s suggestion,
drugs was also included in the list for
investigation. After some discussion
Chairman Sundbadk named the follow
ing committees. On food: .John A.
Wilson. Mrs Welch and Chas W.
Thornton: on transportation: A. Polet.
Chas Rasmussen and Miss Grantham:
on fuel, drugs and clothing: J. P.
Daly, Mrs Frawley and Capt Sundbaek.
Following the appointment of the
committees, persons in the audience
were invited to participate in the dis
cussion of the living quest iota and
make such suggestions as they consid
ered might help the committee in Its
work.
Mr John Handcock responded and
suggested to the committee the neces
sity of getting down to figures if re
sults are to be achieved. * In illustra
tion he suggested that with flour at
ii given price it should be possible for
the committee to figure out the cost
r»f pnxfcieing bread and also define a
fair selling profit. In other commodi
ties the same application of figuring
should enable the committee to ascer
tain if the public is getting the fair
deal in prices.
Mr Handcock’s remarks were decid
edly pertinent in the degree that they
suggested the only method that can
be employed if the committee expects
tc get results from the investigation*.
Failing to get down to hard figuring,
the committee can hardly hope to find
out anything definite about prices.
Following Mr Hancock’s remarks,
the secretary was instructed to give
ii full report of the meeting to the
press with the request that the general
public lend their assistance to th«
committee In Jtny manner possible,_ es
pecially by making helpful suggestions
oi by giving information showing ex
cessive prices. The public is also urged
to attend the meetings of the j^mVmit
tee.
The meeting then adjourned until
Thursday evening at 7.30 p. m. at the
District Court room.
