SPECULATION 1S GAUSE OF H. G, OF L. (Continued from First Page) World-Wide Speculation. This vear's speculations,” M Hoover said, “are due in my opinion chiefly to the belief of food merchants that was removed there would be enormous demand for toodstuffs other commodities in central and castern ‘Europe. This speculation was not due to any important shortage at present of actual supply. This specu- lative fever, which was not confined to foods, was greatly stimulated by long delay in the removal of the blockade until the peace treaty was signed at Versailles. There is plenty of evidence that this was true af food- stuffs in glutted ports in northern Eu- rope where oniy neutrals have the means to buy.’ Responding to an inquiry as to how food speculation could he checked in America, Mr. Hoover replied: Prices May 1all, “Attorney General Palmer is on the right when he endeavors to break speculation and seeks to secure powers never possessed by for enable him he situation ond manufacturers when the bockade an and s track down mer administrations to to accomplish this step.
