PRICE CONTROL
'..' £ COMMERCIAL VIEW
Th* Auckland Chamber of Commerce, in, reviewing various methods of price stabilisation for primary products, remarks:— "There are no panaceas for commercial ills. An over-stuffed world must suffer its pangs until digestion cures them. When too much coffee or rubber or sugar is being produced the price must come down. It may lie jacked up and propped up for a time, but it will always fall. It always has fallen. "Tb there not a lesson for us in connection with various attempts that have been made to control the outputs or prices nf New Zealand primary products? How long, for instance, can the present attempts to stabilise wheat and flour prices hy legislation in New Zealand be successfift in the face of a. steady world drop in the price of tbese and of virtually all: other* . commodities'?"
