This Is the opinion of men high up
in the direction of British food con
trol. For Instance, Sir William Goode of
the ministry of food said today in an
Interview for the Newspaper Enter
prise association: ,
"I do not believe the prices of es
sential, foodstuffs will ever again be
entirely uncontrolled.
"That Is to suy, I don't think the
people of this country will ever sub
mit to the profiteering in food staples
which has been eliminated by the sot
ting up of control of food and food
prices by the government.
, "I believe rationing, however, will
disappear after the war. (Not the :

' And one of those lessons has been
that the best way to curb the food
profiteer Is to sit on him thru broad
government price control.
From July, 1914, to July, 1917,
food prices In Britain steadily and
rapidly- shot upward. They doubled
and more.
Then price control was slapped on,
and tile advance was quickly checked. I
They dropped early this year.-Now
they are rising again, but slowly.
They are not soaring as they were
before price control was set up and
as they threatened to continue to
soar.
Price control was first made effec
tive under the direction of the late
Lord Rhondda. And friends say his
personal view was that some sort of
price control of essentials would re
. main. This is also stated to be the
personal view of Lord Rhondda's
successor, as food controller, the
Right Hon. J. P. Clynes, M. P., tho
neither man ever committed the food
ministry to any policy on the matter.
, As Indicative of the success of food
price control and the rationing sys
tem, by the way, the food ministry Is
practically the only big government
department that Is not subjected to
epaomodlc, violent criticism, political
or otherwise.

Fatigue duty, as the name implies,
Is not often a light or restful form of

At 9 p. in. It Is as light as day.
At 9:30 'p. in. it begins to get

At 10 p. m. you can still read a
newspaper in the street.
At 10:;0 p. m. you can recognize
an acquaintance in an unlighted spot
across a wide street.
At 1 1 p. in. it's dark.
On account of the danger of air
raids, a police order which is rigidly
enforced requires all hlimls to be
drawn at dark. And right now the
official time for compliance with this
order Is 1ft p. m. And you can well
imagine the police are playing safe in
an order of this kind.
In the north or the British Isles It
Is midnight before it gets dark.
So far as possible, working parties
are employed on essentially military
operations, such as the putting up of
wire entunglemonts, the digging of
trenches, the carrying of rations and
stores, whereas a fatigue party is
likely to bo employed on more menial
forms of occupation.
But It is difficult to change old
names, nnd tho the distinction be
tween a fatigue party and a working
party is carefully observed In official
orders, the British soldier himself Ik
still Inclined lo apply the old name
'fatigue" Indiscriminately to all
forms of extra work.
In the main, it Is the unfortunate
infantryman who is called upon to
supply working parties. The engi
neers, for exnmple, depend to a great
extent on infantry labor for the
carrying out of their various operations.
