CONSNER SEEK PROBE OF

“TRADE CONTROL

Roosevelt and Liberals in Congress: Interested Price Study Plea.

By MAX STERN Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—A broad investigation of the American distribution system, and creation of a separate consumer service as a fix-

ture of the Federal Government, will be demanded of Congress by consumer spokesmen who have just spent two days in conference here. Representatives of the Consumers National Federation told President Roosevelt and members of both houses that before any antitrust legislation is proposed they wanted a major study by a special com= mission into all phases of business controls. The consumers thought little of the proposal by Senator Bailey (D. N. C.) of a $25,000 price investigation. They cited the $400,000 spent by the Federal Trade Commission on. its study of food price controls alone. Some thought the proposed new inquiry might cost one million dollars. Roosevelt Interested

The consumer “lobby”—claiming

to represent women's clubs, labor or-

ganizations, consumer co-operatives, farm and other groups in 33 states, numbering upward of 10 million persons—found interested listeners in President ‘Roosevelt, various Senate and House liberals, President William Green of the A. F. of L. and a C. I. O. committee with whom they spoke. Senators La Follette (Prog. Wis.), Schwellenbach (D. Wash.) and Wagner (D. N. Y.), President Green and others agreed that a comprehensive study of prices and price controls is needed. ¢ A statement given out by Miss Helen Hall, head of the Consumers National Federation, said the Government is in ignorance as to the causes of high and controlled prices. Consumption ‘Exploited’

“Today,” the statement said, “we have a productive system that is the envy of the world. It can do much, but it does not create sustained welfare. In our concern for production we have allowed it to exploit consumption and, in the process, to cripple its consumers for whom, and for whom alone, it con= fessedly exists.” “We know today virtually nothing with accuracy as to the scores of points at which ‘business competition,” ‘monopoly,’ ‘administered prices,” and other routine aspects of business and financial processes cripple the consumer. “In a -tlemocracy no economic system makes sense which is not run so as to maximize consumption, Yet our economic system is primarily run to maximize profits—and the consumer takes the hindmost.”
