The article argues that abolishing price controls shifts costs to consumers and producers, raising food and feed prices while stores struggle to cover expenses. It notes farmer and mill costs rising, railroads facing higher operating costs despite only modest transport-rate increases, and predicts a gradual return to a stable price level as production recovers.
