DESTROYING THE MAN
WHO HELPED
It is reported that is be-
ing flooded with communications
fiom throughout the
country, requesting that the gener |
al price freeze order be reopened’
to public hearing to review the
dicastrous situation facing thou-
sands of stores. On top of that, it
is repcrted further, manufacturers
are tremendously concerned’ over
the probable loss of distributive
outlet. !
One can sympathize with the
peint of view of government: offic-
icls who belicve that the most
stringent pessible measures
necessary to prevent a ruinous
price inflation. But it is becoming
evident that the price freeze wilk
literally dislocate and = destroy a
large part ef the retail businesses:
of this country unless adjustments
are made to take care of the very
wide lag that has long existed be-
tween wholesale and retail prices.
The merchants whe are writing
Congress and the OPA are net:
asking for big profits and a chance
to profiteer. They are simply ask-
ing the chance to price their goeds
sufficient profit to stay in. business.
If the current order stands as issu-
ed, merchants will have to replace
stocks at present wholesale price
levels and sell them at the prevail-
ing March retail levels. That
means that the sale of many items
would be made with no prefit—and
that the sale of items would have
to be made at an actual loss. The
public-spirited merchant, whe co-
aperated with the OPA and priced
kis wares on the basis of original
‘cost, not replacement cost, would
take the worst beating. bo;
It is difficult te exaggerate the
potcuotial effeet of this on the coun-
try. The small store will be hit
hardest and will go to the wall
first—large retail organizations,
with capital behind them, can last
longer and can better adjust them-
selves to changing conditions. The
tens of thousands of little retail
businesses which are the backbone
of the Amewnican private enterprise
system are in danger ef extinction.
That is the immensely grave situa-
tien which confronts Congress and
the OPA today.
