The hope that the Food Control Committee would cease to harass the small shopkeepers and turn its atten- tion to the real profiteers in the Colony, was expressed by Mr. C. Champkin, at the Urban Council meeting yesterday, when he described the answer of the Chairman (Mr. H. R. Butters) to his questions concerning increases in ocean freight rates as unconvincing:
