AMUSING REMINISCENCES

OF LONDON COMMITTEE..

Mr. Stanley Stone, chairman of the City Profiteering Committee had some amusing stories to tell of the experiences of that tribunal at a lunch which he gave to the members at the Guildhall, on the conclusion of their labours. The reason of the failure of the Profiteering Act to reduce! the cost of living to a pre-war level was, he said, not far to seek. The framers of the Act mistook the disease in thinking that the rise in price was due to the increase in the cost of production, instead of, as it really was, to the decrease in the value of money. The real starting. point of the rise in prices was the flood of paper money.
