Government Seeks To Protect Poor Man In Food Bill
Washington June 11. Government aims to protect the poor in the new food bills to stabilize prices for producer and consumer alike and reduce profiteering. The legislation seeks to equalize production, distribution, and consumption of the nation's food supply during the war and to prevent special interests from profiting at the public expense. It argues that proper distribution and price control will curb speculation and bring the price to the consumer in line with wartime costs.
