INCREASED COSTS Quoting the war risk insurance premium as "8 per cent per annum" they said it was nonsense to suggest that the retailer who turned over his stock three times a year was in a position to divide It by three, "for the simple reason THE that he has to replace his stock from a supplier who, in his turn, has had to pay this insurance, and consequently passes on this charge to the retaller."

They

said, too. that the insurance rates in many cases involved premiuth payments in ex- cess of the prunts for a year's trad- ing. In addition, freights had in- creased by 50 per cent., marina insurance had risen to "phenomen- ́al heights," and Government car" trol of many essentials, regardless'] of standing contracts, had made the buying of expensive'substituter": necessary.

To suggest, in view of these and other new expenses, that an" increase of 10 per cent would cover them, ör was profiteering was "sheer stupidity" in their view
