Cartoonist Low Suggests El Firing Squad for -Food Speculators. l 5B

fhe Chicago Daily New LONDON. Sept. ‘19. — A i mined Government drive has been ~ started against profiteers and the “plack market” in food while the newspapers call for harsher punishment and heavier penalties for . those found guilty of selling quick substitutes or cornering scarce. produce. "Some of the leading ‘newspapers have ‘been campaigning for some’ ~ time for an efficient detective servJce to catch out the evaders of rationing and price regulations. Today's London Evening ‘Standard carries a cartoon by Low picturing three men—a speculator, a middleman and a purchaser—lined up t a wall facing a rifle brie and titled, “why not?”

Today Lord Horder, .the King’s]

physician and a leading - British medical man, demands action against exploiters who have been placing substitutes on the ‘market. There is a milk substitute, for example, obtainable in many stores, which is found: to consist of flour and water. There is certainly less milk available now than is ordinarily consumed but the shortage is not drastic. The public has been warned that December and January may bring a -real shortage with milk available only for children and nursing mothers. Milk is now rationed to half an individual's supply in April, 1940.

Substitute Fruit Juices All kinds of weird substitutes are found on the market today to replace fruit juices and other unobtainable commodities. ' While some of these are genuine substitutes; doubtless many are frauds. These * the Government is investigating and it will probably impose: heavier fines than previously. / : A foreman, Albert Thomas, has been sentenced to two years for selling adulterated saccharine as a sugar substitute. . - Despite the attempts of the ministry of food, there is still a thriving “black market” in food difficult to obtain. .Eggs, cheese, and meat are the principal items which are being hawked in the “black market” and from time to time lemons and oranges spring up:.from some mysterious sources. The prices de-
