President Roosevelt said tonight that the? national monopoly investigating committee "might well keep a constant eye" on price increases to protect the. country against "ugly and inhuman greed." In a letter to Committee Chairman Joseph C. O'Mahoney Wyo. the president said the committee, during the period of European conflict, might watch prices of basic materials, and "in "the light of past and present cir- cumstancest study the facts to determine whether thee is profiteering or whether such increases kre legitimate." I Constant surveillance by the committee, Mr. Roosevelt added, would enable it to become "an important part of our first line of national defense against ugly and inhuman greed." Will Study Problem.

O'Mahoney said that he could not discuss at this time what his committee could doT He said he would call 'a meeting to "determine proper procedure and thoroughly to canvas the problem." The president's letter, addressed to "Dear Joe" and dated Sept. 29, read: "We all know, from the experiences following 1914, the dangerous dislocations" to American economic life which may occur, as a result of profiteering, when there is a war in Europe. "As I see it, the TNEQ (temporary national economic committee) is, well qualified to invoke the forceful check or impartial public inquiry on this kind of un- "iAmerican activity, and I was, therefore, much interested in your remarks on the subject at the TNEC hearings, on Sept; 25.
