As long as the credit and delivery systems are maintained by so many of our peo ple, it is going to be impossible to get the necessities of life down to as low a price as they should be. In my judgment, THERE IS AN ARTIFICIAL COST PLACED UPON NECESSITIES BY THE UNNECESSARY CREDIT SYSTEM. I .resume I would not be far off the way if T would estimate the losses of the retail dealers in food products at 10 per cent. This naturally has to be spread over all sales, making the CASH CUSTOMERS Carry the Bill. With kind regards, I beg to remain Yours very truly, V. J!. AY'KU, Federal Food Administrator for Oregon.

Along with our own soldiers. J lui'ii of other nations have fought' and died that these principles might be estimated thrjiighout the whole j world. .'
