THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, U S I THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON. OREGON. Food Prices And Profits A S ta te m e n t o f S a fe w a y P o lic y T he forces of market disturbance , fear , and speculation , ARE AT WORK. PRICES FOR SOME BASIC COMMODITIES HAVE AL READY GONE UP. INCREASES IN SAFEWAY’S RETAIL PRICES ON THESE IT EMS REFLECT THE RISE IN WHOLESALE COST, OVER WHICH SAFEWAY HAS NO CONTROL. IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL SAFEWAY POLICY TO EARN ONLY A SMALL PROFIT ON EACH SALE. SAFEWAY PLEDGES THAT DURING THE PERIOD OF WAR EMERGENCY IT WILL NOT CHANGE THIS POLICY; AND THAT IN THE FUTURE, AS HERETOFORE, IT WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT THROUGH IMPROVED METHODS TO REDUCE DISTRIBUTION COST — THE DIFFER- ENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE FARMER GETS AND THE CONSUMER PAYS. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO BUY FROM SAFEWAY AT THE LOWEST PRICES AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. CONSUMERS MAY ASSIST MATERIALLY IN PREVENTING UNWAR RANTED PRICE INCREASES BY CONTINUING THEIR PURCHASES ON A NORMAL SCALE. THERE ARE ADEQUATE SUPPLIES OF FOOD STUFFS FOR EVERY AMERICAN. HYSTERICAL BUYING WHICH STRIPS RETAIL AND WHOLESALE STOCKS CREATES ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY, WHICH PUSHES PRICES TO ABNORMAL LEVELS. MACHINERY EXISTS WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL PRO DUCTION, STORAGE AND RELEASE OF COMMODITIES, IMPORTS, EXPORTS, QUOTAS AND PRICES — IF IT SHOULD BECOME NECESSARY TO EMPLOY THESE METHODS TO PROTECT THE ECONOMIC WELFARE OF THE COUN TRY. k SAFEWAY FURTHER PLEDGES COMPLETE COOPERATION WITH THE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AND WITH FARMER PRODUCERS IN ALL EF FORTS TO STABILIZE PRICES; DISCOURAGE PROFITEERING; AND MAIN TAIN ORDERLY FACILITIES FOR FOOD DISTRIBUTION.
