Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New Mexico Historical Review, Vol. 19 While propaganda appeals besought the consumer to lend support to food-saving, the food administration grudgingly gave compulsion a place in its proposals for wartime stabilization. Soon after he received authorization in the Lever Act, Herbert Hoover took steps to remove forcibly the speculative profits which already had begun to creep into sales of grain and flour. At first restricting his orders to millers of wheat and rye, he directed them to secure licenses from the food administration. All licensees then had to disclose in frequent reports their average margins of profit. In determining what was a reasonable profit, the standard usually taken was the average pre-war normal profit of the business under free competitive conditions. Before the end of September, 1917, sugar refiners were tied to the licensing regulations. And a proclamation of President Wilson, dated October 8, brought in a multitude of trading groups: elevators, warehouses, importers, millers, manufacturers, and distributors of all kinds of grain, beans, cottonseed, fresh fruit, vegetables, and many others.
