PRICE OF MEAT
Sir, —One can sympathise with the family butcher, and the difficult position in which he has been placed by a controlled selling price while he must go to a free market to buy. But personally I consider the remedy is not in carrying the controls further, which is the request of the Master Butchers’ Association to the Government, but they should ask that the § resent price controls be removed. nly by this policy and the freeing of trade from bureaucratic control will production increase, with a consequent fall in prices. The question arises, shall each section of community continue to ask the Government to impose more controls upon others and assist it to establish the totalitarianism which is its objective?—Yours, etc., L.H. March 16. 1948.
