A&P defends its low price policy against an anti trust suit filed in Washington. The company argues the action would raise food costs, reduce availability, and harm customers, employees, farmers, and suppliers. It cites profits, wages, and widespread patronage as proof of beneficial impact.
The speaker warns that targeting A&P endangers the entire American system of efficient, low-profit distribution. The chain claims to have pioneered methods that reduced consumer prices and influenced other grocers, arguing that an antitrust victory would threaten widespread cost-cutting across merchants and nationwide distribution.
The owners argue against breaking up A and P, saying anti trust suits threaten millions of consumers, farmers, and workers who benefit from quality foods at low prices and fast distribution. They cite a past tax fight won by public support and pledge to defend the company by legitimate means.
