asks how many socalled hotels mere groggeries That ques tion should be pressed to a defin ite answer A should bo something more than a barroom with only makebelieve accom modation for the travelling pub lic It is important that people should undof stand funda mental causes of high prices of food The world demand for food has sud denly undergone a tremendous while the world supply or that portion world sup ply which accessible and avail able to meet enlarged vorld demand has been reduced with suddenness Surplus stocks have been exhausted and greatly curtailed production forces are endeavoring to meet abnormal consumption require ments Under peace conditions when the balance of demand Is disturbed either a rise in uiees curtails consumption and stimulates production or a fall In prices encourages increas ed consumption while restricting production war such readjustment Is diffi cult if not Impossible The consumption demand of the sol diers cannot bo much reduced High and rising prices do curtail civilian consumption arid stimu late production but the produc tion agencies are limited and un der the spur of increased profits they are incapable of meeting the demand Such conditions un less relief can bo provided must result in an increasingly acute shortage and lead eventually to famine Such approximately is the situ ation in the world today With farming populations reduced by millions of producers and number of nonproducers and ab normal consumers tremendously swollen high prices are only a natural inescapable consequence a- world Condition It is un fair therefore to compare prices today with those before and to blame Government or the Food Controller or anyone else for the advance Rather prices should be compared under pre vailing conditions in different countrlfis Real wages being the amount of food clothing and or goods which money wages will buy determine the welfare of the wageearning population Judg on this basis Canadians are absolutely most fortunate people In the vorld 16day In proportion to wages prices of food are lower In Canada than in any other country Official figures have published in The Bulletin showing that food prices here are much lower than in Europe and considerably than in the United States This the case because our Canadian cities and towns are smaller and closer to the sources of supply because Canadian consumers ac tually are closer to the land than the people of any other country We arc prosperous as a result of war orders and at the same time we buy our food cheaper than other countries because we pay less for freight and distribution charges Production is the crux of the food problem Twenl years ago in Canada there were three people on the land raising foodstuff to every two who lived in cities and towns Today the proportion is just reversed Is it any wonder that food is scarce and prices high remedy is obvious become a producer It is true that Canada is belter off in this other countries at the present time but even Can ada has been getting away from the land The only possible in which Canada could he conse quences of the world shortage of food would be to stop exporta tion and to fatten on our own sur plus production while the rest of the world starved To do so would involve repudiation of our obligations to the Allies and would make us in the eyes of all the world It cannot too earnestly be urg ed supply of products for export to the Allied nations must be increased al most without limit Patriotism and good business combine to make effort commendable The need for animal foods by the Allied armies and civil popula tions is increasingly great the need for bacon and pork products most of all because they the largest quantity weight for weight of the animal fats needed for the soldiers Bacon con tains calories as with in the same weight of beef and of only in lean beef Shrinkage a dressed prod uct is only 25 per cent of the live weight of hog meat while in beef veal mutton and lamb it is per cent Canadas bog products in 1916 pounds The Allies requirements in the same year were pounds In other words Allied markets alone could taken ten times the total Canadian supply Yet it is not only during wartime that the market is great Tho ex port from Canada in a which naturally covers least two years of peace averag ed only six per cent of British imports of hog products The demand during tho reconstruction period after the war may be as to be at least as great as it now Is during the conflict If municipal bylaws were re laxed as a war measure as permit suburban dwellers near their dwellings much might be accomplished Mr Hoover has stated that pitrs are no more than are doers buckvard methods alone last var Germany was able to raise more THE m
