T/iade. Council Here is a chart that proves the falsity of charges frequently l leveled at Fair Trade by monopolistic Big Store interests, according i to American Fair Trade Council. The Big Stores have argued that | Fair Trade is responsible for inflationary prices. The chart shows clearly the ratio of Fair Trade to the total U. S. retail volume — about 5 to 100. The volume for 1948. shown on the chart, is estimated. The small proportion of Fair-Traded products, shown at the left, actually has had a definite restraining effect on inflation, as various surveys have clearly shown. It has been the 95 percent of non-Fair-Traded prices that have zoomed upward and created the inflationary trend. Extension of Fair Trade to include a far greater percentage of the retail trade volume is now sought as a brake on inflation and an assurance of stable values and better quality in the future, according to the Council.
