HOOVER SUGGESTS BOARD FOR MARKETING CONTROL Advocates Regulatory Powers to Improve Trade Processes and Create Standards. Appointment of a national board of experts with regulatory powers to improve marketing conditions was ted yesterday by Herpert Hoove appearing before the House agricul- ture committee, which is holding hear- ings on bills to restrict speculation on grain and cotton exchanges. The board would operate under the Department of Agriculture, and Mr. Hoover said it “could accomplish a great deal in improving the trade Processes through agreement with the trades and by the establishment of standard practices.” “One function of such a board, for instance,” he continued, “would be to provide regulations which would se- cure the extenmsion of public ware- houses in such a manner that the farmer could store his grain at any country elevator and terminal and obtain such a recognized warehouse receipt as would open to him_new credit beyond his abilities in loans against holdings on farms.” Declaring that during the war the food administration had eliminated manipulation in the corn market by voluntary agreement with the ex- changes without any substantial in- terference with the normal processes of the hedging markets, Mr. Hoover said he did not believe the precise quantities or methods of future trad- ing should be fixed by law, “as all such attempts to control economic forces must be tentative and based upon experience gained.” $40,000 LEFT IN WILL.
