PROFITEERING IN
GEORGIA 1 PCT,
WASTE 49 lv..
Atlanta. Sept. 20.—United States
District Attorney Hooper Alexander,
whose office and agencies have been
investigating the food situation in
North Georgia for many weeks, has
given out a statement showing a thor
ough analysis of conditions.
His statement contains three main
points. They are:
1. Retailers are not responsible,
save in isolated instances, for high
prices; the cause “will have to be
located farther back in the channels
of trade.”
2. Housewives must consider
their household duties before social
obligations and pleasure. There is
1 per /ent profiteering and 49 per
cent extravagance. The rest is sup
ply and demand.
3. State government must recog
nise their duties, returning from the
present attitude of “shouldering off”
their responsibilities on the federal
government.
