Must Keep Workers
Multiply X, Y and Z by tens of thousands and you have the reason
why farm officials assert that drastic "action to keep workers on the farms
is necessary if America is to supply {ts own food needs as well as the
huge demands from overseas. Some . authorities even said that a govern-
ment order freezing vital labor on farms would come too late now to
2 prevent shortages.
Elmer Kruse, Ohio AAA chalrman, said “even if the government checks the labor exodus now, it will be too late. It will have to find some
* way to get labor back on the farms.”
George Ross, director of the North Carolina State Marketing service, said freezing of farm labor
on farms “at so late a date is like
locking the barn door after the horse has left.” The U. S. department of agriculture estimates more than 1,500,000 men have been drained from farmlands in the past year. The Kansas agricultural war

survey showed that war industry took 83 per cent of the men who left dairy farms." Ohio officials set the figure at nearly 80 per cent. Pennsylvania and Colorado said industry had taken 60 per cent, Alabama 57 and Connecticut 50.
Suggests Solution
Prairle Farmer, the farm weekly published in Chicago, has thundered regularly for drastic government action. Associate Editor Dave Thompson says his surveys of farm opinion indicated this would be a good approach to the solution: 1. Freezing of all vital labor on farms, as now provided for dairy, livestock and poultry workers under amendment to the teen-age draft law. 2. New higher farm wage ceilings to compete with industry. 3. A large shift of manpower from unproductive lands in eastern Kentucky, the Ozarks, Northern Wisconsin and Southern Illinois to high-yield farm land.

Plan Is Not as Simple as Theory; Big Merchants
Have Objections..
By E. A. EVANS Times Special Writer WASHIN GTON, Nov. 17.—Merchants and government officials, at meetings starting today in New Fvork and tomorrow in Chicago, will argue over a plan that the public hasn’t heard much about. It's “inventory control.” The theory behind it is simple. War's demands are going to make drastic cuts in the supply of civilian goods. Therefore, the war production board contends, the stock of goods held by big retailers should be limited so that small stores can get a share of the total supply. But putting that theory into practice involves great difficulties, and the mere suggestion of it has produced some unexpected consequences—for instance, widespread unemployment in the New York City garment trades. Here's what has happened: Soon after Pearl Harbor many merchants began to build up their inventories beyond usual levels. They were chiefly big merchants— department stores and, to some extent, chains—which had the financial resources to buy and hold goods that they didn’t expect to sell for months to come, Smaller merchants, lacking such resources, continued to buy on a hand-to-hand basis. Last May the WPB first proposed inventory control. The big merchants promptly slowed down or stopped their advance buying. They didn’t want to be caught with huge stock: that they might have to disgorge. The small merchants were able to buy no more than before. Manufacturers of civilian goods lost

Traders Await Word From Washington on Loan
Subsidies.
CHICAGO, Nov. 17 (U. P.)— Grain futures eased fractionally on the Board of Trade today pending an announcement from Washington on the loan wheat subsidy program. Soybeans advanced against the trend. At the end of the first hour, wheat was off % to 3% cent a bushel, corn off %, oats off % to %, rye unchanged to off %, and soybeans up 3%. Traders awaited the release of the loan price on corn promised from Washington today. According to law this price was set at 85 per cent of parity and if followed, grainmen said, the only question remained was whether the preliminary or revised parity figure fo Sept. 15 wlil be used as the basis. If the former ruled, the loan price would be about 83 cents a bushel, and if the latter, around 84 cents, either price being far above the Chicago equivalent for cash corm, and an incentive to farmers to participate heavily in the loan program and withhold yellow grain from the market.

formation wouldn’t be collected, but that the plan would be ordered “in the near future.” It is this plan which merchants will discuss this week with representatives of the WPB’s wholesale and retail policy committee, headed by Eaton W. Read. The order which WPB expects to issue will apply to retailers selling more than $100,000 worth of.goods a year. There are more than 65,000 such. It will apply also to wholesalers and manufacturers, not because their inventories are considered too large in most cases, but because a check on them is held necessary to make the check on big retailers effective. } Merchants affected will be told to reduce their inventories, by April 1, so that then and thereafter their stocks and their sales will be in the same proportion as in corresponding quarters of 1939-40-41. Those who don’t will be restricted in fu-|

. Customer Is the Concern The WPB says it isn’t trying, primarily, to protect small merchants. ny of them, its technical adier assert, might be more useful if they went to work in war industries.\, Its chief avowed’ interest is

the plan. . Big merchants contend: 1. That their advance buying was actually a public service. They were the only ones who could afford to tie up large sums in surplus
from profiteering. 2. That by threatening inventory control the government stopped their advance buying, and this stopped many manufacturers who might have used manpower and materials not yet needed for war work
against the coming days of unavoidable shortage. . ‘Horse Already Stolen’ 3. That if the WPB order is issued many big stores will try to reduce their stocks before April by dumping on the market goods that might better be held for more orderly sale in later days of need. 4. That enforcement of the plan will be so difficult that it’s likely to break down in bureaucratic confusion. . They also say — and many small merchants agree — that the plan won’t do much to help the little fellows, who can’t buy any .share of the goods that haven’t been produced in recent months. The WPB, many small merchants think, is locking the door af'er the horse has been stolen, They could get real benefit, they say, only if the big stocks in the warehouses of big stores were confiscated and divided up among little stores. But the WPB hasn't doing that.’ It would involve almost unimaginable difficulties.

. WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (U. P).
i |—The office of price administration 3 |1s working out details of a program i |to eliminate from retail merchan-
dising such frills as style shows and fancy wrapping paper, it was announced today. is The “economy for victory program,” announced "jointly by the OPA and the commerce department, will allow merchants to cut operating costs and continue to do business within price ceilings that
admittedly are tough. New OPA
regulations will put the program into ‘effect, but it is expected that merchants will be given. their choice of participating. Details were not yet complete, but officials said that services to be restricted or eliminated include: Layaway and will-call plans Daily deliveries and unrestricted return of merchandise. Style shows and similar “costly” promotions, Unnecessary wrapping and packaging, It was not expected that the regulations would apply to the 1942 Christmas merchandising season, but would eliminate Christmas packaging and wrapping next year. The agencies announced the plan was designed to free manpower for essential war production; to conserve gasoline, rubber, electricity and other war necessities, and to permit retailers to continue operating under price ceilings.
