PRICE

Taking
Time

Labor-Progressive
Resolution
City

is
pondering
the
question
of
price
ceilings.
Tills
economic
exertion
of
the
mind
was
pressed
on
the
aldermen
last
night
by
the
Prince
Rupert
Labor-Progressive
Party
which
sought
councll'i
endorsatlon
of
a
resolution
urging
that
ceilings
be
re-established
on
some
items
and
maintained
on
others.
The
brief
was
presented
by
LP.P.
president,
Mrs.
DorU
ecutive
secretary
Bruce
Mickle.
burgh.
Seeing
it
as
a
broad
economic
matter,
council
appointed
a
committee
consisting
of
Aldermen
Rudderham,
Arnold
and
John-?
ston
to
think
the
brief
ovcr
and
brln,3
In
a
report.
'
It
asked
"that
this
city
council
strongly
urge
Prime
Minister
Mackenzie
King
and
Prices
Board
chairman
Donald
Gordon
that
ceillngs.be
re-established
on
the
bulk
of
the
items
011
which
they
have
recently
been
removed
and
that
no
further
concessions
on
prices
be
made
until
supply
more
nearly
approximates
demand."
Mr.
Mlckleburgh
presented
the
resolution
as
an
antl-inflatlon
move
which
should
be
endorsed
by
the
whole
Canadian
public.
He
charged
that
price
ceilings
arc
being
dropped
because
of
the
activities
of
powerful
pressure
groups
seeking
profits,
and
that
the
only
way
it
can
be
counteracted
is
for
the
public
to
put
on
greater
pressure
to
"hold
the
line."
He
saw
a
dangerous
trend
toward
Inflation
In
the
fact
that
If
ceilings
arc
lifted
in
some
commodity
groups,
other
categories
will
demand
to
be
allowed
to
raise
prices
too.
"To
hold
the
line
on
those
commodities
which
arc
affected
now
is
to
hold,
the
line
all
the
way,"
he
challenged.
Price
Control
Is
Favored
While
the
aldermen
were
generally
in
favor
of
price
control,
they
expressed
Ignorance
of
the
broad
economic
result
of
such
a
resolution
and
decided
to
take
time
to
think
It
over
before
endorsing
it.
Alderman'
Voungs
said:
"We

that

However,

The
brief
stated
tliat
the
lifting
of
price
ceilings
tends
to
lower
the
living
standards
of
the
Canadian
people,
"bringing
