The program was put be- fore the Senate in a resolution by Senator Gore, chairman of the Senate committee. The measures proposed do not cover price fixing or control of grain entering into the manufac- ture of liquors. Both these ‘sub- jects will be dealt with in meas- ures to be drawn later. Twenty-five million dollars is asked for the Agriculture Depart- ment’s use in administering the program. The legislation calls for an immediate survey of the country’s food resources and con- fers power upon the department to prevent speculation and price manipulation. It would provide for equitable distribution and would suspend the law prohibit- ing the mixing of flour. [It would establish and enforee standards for agricultural products and for fertilizers. Under the measure asked the Secretary of Agriculture could, if the government thought it nec- essary, license or operate any business of manufacture, storage or distribution of food, food ma- terials or seeds. he could compel | board concerns so licensed to loose - hoarded stocks of food, to refrain from unjust or discriminatory practices or charges and could force them to exact fair prices only.
