Samplings made earlier I his year showed when steak was 1.69 a pound here it was $3.15 in Rome, $2.92 in London, $4.73 in Stockholm and a whopping $16.00 in Tokyo. What about the price of eggs in Brussels you say? 90 cents there. $1.29 in Copenhagen, 83 cents in Mexico City we were paying 74.

Our cost of butter was 89 cents a pound com pared with $1.73 Paris, $1.36 in Brasilia and $1.57 in Bonn. Adding bacon to the breakfast table was costing $3.41 cents in Paris when we were paying $1.56. At the same time, bacon consumers in Copenhagen were com plaining about the price of $2.71 and the grumbling figure in The Hague was $3.08. Fact is. we obviously have a pretty good deal when it comes to food prices.
