SOVIET FOOD PRICES
FIFTY PER CENT INCREASE MOSCOW, Ala? 12. The retail food prices have been raised 50 per cent. This is interpreted as a drastic effort on the part of the Soviet to draw more money into circulation. Currency is being hoarded because people are able to spend only a fraction of their earnings, due to the scarcity of merchandise. The food is principally bread, cabbage, potatoes, and occasionally inferior meat or salted fish.
