Food Administration Proposes Bill To Perpetuate Itself
The Food Administration offers a bill aimed at sustaining its powers for the year. The measure seeks ongoing control and authority over wartime food policy, distribution, and prices.
Senator Gore Seeks Narrower 1919 Wheat Bill Debate
Washington January 28 The Food Administration transmitted to Senate and House Agricultural committees a bill for 1.25 billion dollars to guarantee 2.20 a bushel for the 1919 wheat crop. Senator Gore said he would not introduce it in the Senate, calling it broader than necessary. The measure would allow continued government control of grain traders and creation of agencies to buy wheat and products at guaranteed prices, regulate exports, and set railroad priorities under continued wartime controls. Government cost depends on Europe need and stock levels in Argentina Australia Canada. European needs for other grains could limit US exports of oats rye barley and corn.
