In writing of the evils of profiteering in essential food supplies in Britain “ Reynold’s Newspaper” makes the following scathing comments: There arc still relatively large numbers of men who look on the war solely from the point of what they can make out of it. They have thrust their ghoulish hands wherever there is need and wherever there is suffering The new measures that have been put forward—but are for the most part not yet in operation—will be judged not merely from the point of view of whether they cheapen the necessities of life. If any man is able to make a big profit out of daily needs, whether it b e bread, sugar, meat, matches, or what not he is an enemy of the people, and it makes no essential difference whether he is a largo wholesaler or a small retailer.. There are scores of men enjoying wealth and more or less honoured positions to-day who, if there were real justice meted out to them would be safe behind iron bars.
