demand forces rather than any pricing policies of the seller essentially control the prices As for the attempt to make sure that the consumer promptly reaps the benefit of any reductions in wholesale food prices Shultz said that this was a matter of particular concern to the President He said that the President had urged the economic policy officials who saw him here Friday to watch to see that the tendency of retail (price reductions) to lag behind wholesale does not take place to see to it that it is passed right on to the consumer" Chain store executives with whom he met earlier this week pledged their cooperation in this effort Shultz said But he added under questioning that the government SO seemed on the verge of tears but his familiar voice was firm as he told at least 4000 cherring Alabamians that the Democrats can expect victory in November only if they embrace the same perspectives that brought him victory in five primary elections this year Im going to insist that they adopt a platform that tells the average citizen we are responsive to his needs and conscious of his desires he said in a 12-minute speech from a four-foot-high platform wrapped in bunting Then as he had done time and again in his colorful campaign Wallace summarized his opposition to present welfare standards and tax structures the costof the federal government and foreign aid and the busing of public school children to achieve racial balance The average citizen in this country agrees with my positions on those issues" he said And my campaign should make it clear that the average citizens are now the kings and queens of American politics His speech was a capsulized versjon of the one that brought rousing responses from partisan mauamd ivieaicai audiences drawn to his campaign Center in

offer what it hopes will be a very positive incentive to meat-exporting nations to make immediate increases in their exports to the United States Second the administration has inauguarated a monitoring system aimed at making sure that any reductions that occur in the prices of food at wholesale are rapidly passed on to the consumer The incentive to meatexporting nations will come in the form of a change in system for imposing quotas on imports of meat from abroad The administration in an action it took last month in the hope of increasing meat supplies temporarily suspended these quotas for the balance of this year What Shultz announced Friday was the President's decision to reward countries tjiat significantly increase their meat exports to the United States this year by increasing their quotas for sales of meat to the United States next year when the quotas will presumably be reimposed The main foreign sellers of meat to the United States most of it beef include Australia New Zealand Ireland Mexico and a number of other Latin American countries Shultz will meet with representatives of the main exporting countries next week it was announced and he was authorized by the President to tell them that any increase in their exports this year will be very heavily weighed when it comes to setting next years quotas The possibility is being looked into that American cattle-producers may be holding some of their animals off the market in the hope of higher prices 'Shultz 'said in 'answer to a question on the matter He said there is some evidence that sdggests that there may be some holding off going onr on the part of the operators of feedlots where cattle are fattened before being slaughtered But Shultz said that the feedlot operators denied this
