Price-Fixing
Order
Is
Announced
By
Premier
King
;
OTTAWA,
October
20:
Prices,
j
wages,
rents
and
public
utility
'
rates
are
pegged
as
from
November
an
17
at
the
highest
points
reccided
between
September
15
and
October
11
under
federal
order
announced
on
Saturday
afternoon
by
Prime
Minister
W.
L.
Mackenzie
King.
The
object
of
the
order
is
to
fix
a
ic.Pn;
on
ri;
n?
prices
and
ivilian
consumption
by
fair
and
of
fq'b!e
means,
the
Premier
declared.
New
and
complicated
machinery
will
have
to
be
set
up
to
crry
out
the
order.
Business
would
be
interfered
with
and
restrictions
would
at
first
seem
irksome.
If
r.'sing
prices
were
permitted
to
continue
unf'hecked,
said
the
Premier,
they
would
but
spread
confusion
and
hardship
and
wruld
hinder
war
production.
The
cost
of
living
would
continue
to
rise
in
excess
of
wages.
There
would
be
hardship
on
nearly
everyone
and
in
par-ticu'ar
unequal
measure
to
some.
Personal
anxiety
was
a
danger
to
the
war
effort.
People
could
not
do
their
best
work
when
beset
with
fears
and
anxieties.
There
would
be
an
undesirable
effect
upon
the
maximum
war
effort.
t
The
government
had
decided
that
pjlces
must
be
controlled
more
vigorously
thail,
had'
bren
the
case
in
the
first
two
years
of
the
war.
The
desire
of
the
government
was
that
inflation
and
undesirable
war
practices
should
be
ciirbd
and
that
the
ultimate
bnef'cial
efforts
would
last
into
the
post-war
period
by
eliminating
deflaiion
and
curbing
unemployment.
