letter from Donald J. O’
0t Price Specialist, of
^ to the local board this
j further explained the OPA
l on beef prices. The letter
jn the States, beef pricing
ed no easy job in the Terr
■ It had been delayed long
mb, however, when specific
jswere issued the first week
lovember.
jrerall beef prices were cut
[substantially in two towns,
were not too radically affect
imost other towns. Several
iers took it upon themsel
by wire to urge an organized
pension of beef sales and thus
tea modification of the gov
uent regulation. The proper
tdy is to try out the prices
then to show whatever
Jship is experienced as a ba
for adjustment of prices
it butchers chose this reason
course, realizing the fair
mfitand also the need of
istiDg their business as best
lean to the exigencies and
snds of a wartime economy,
y realized, from the experi
i of Alaska’s grocers who
[been laudably cooperative
bthe price control progam,
[adjustments of regulations
ch work hardships will of a
iainty be made. No other
rse would be tolerable to bus
smen, to board members or
je OPA itself. The fact that
Territorial Office established
adjusts prices for at least 15
s every month speaks for it
tisnottobe disputed that
price relationships of stews
roasts and steaks will bear
e watching. Alaska’s purcha
i power has generally ad
«d so much more than the
mce of the price level since
rl Harbor that steaks might
ito disappear more quickly
i counters than'' stews We
t however, see whether
cwives will be interested in
stews at the prices now'
feet. We must deal with how

Armour’s price to Alaskan
iers for Grade A beef, side

years of war. You have only to
recall retail beef prices before
Pearl Harbor to determine whe
ther the present ceiling prices for
beef adequately reflect this ad
vance in wholesale prices. In
Juneau we have thumbed
through several newspapers of
the Territory and also the earli
est reports of beef prices filed
with us. We thus became assured
that present ceilings reflect hist
oric markups in Alaska.
“We shall appreciate your
help in making clear to your
community that the present
prices were the result of pains
taking study and that adjust
ment of them will therefore
hinge on how they work out in
practice.”
