Must Have Relief In Face Of Record Food Prices
The nation faces a food crisis despite abundant crops as prices rise sharply. A Bureau of Labor Statistics bulletin shows April 1919 prices up 4 percent from March with cabbage and onions surging, while bread and sugar hold steady. Navy beans and tomatoes fall, and overall food costs compare 18 percent higher than April 1918. Calls grow for army surplus food to be sold at cost and for bold government action to relieve the burden on ordinary households.
