MEASURE SOUGHT.
PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE
SWEEPING RULE BY BILL
= Could Take Drastic Action Whenever,
in His Opinion, National Emer-
gency Requested It-Milling
Would Be ReguIated-To
Continue During War.

Washington, May 5.-Absolute au-
thority to regulate in its discretion the
production, distribution and prices of
food and other necessities during the
war is asked of Congress by the ad-
ministration.
In sweeping bill introduced with
administration approval, by Chairman
Lever of the House agricultural COM
mittee, it is proposed to empower the
President, under the war clause of the
constitution to take certain drastic
measures whenever in his opinion the
national emergency shall require.
The new BILL" Mr.. Lever explain
ed, deals with all the necessaries of
life, including foods, feeds, shoes,
clothing, fuel and articles required for
their production. The measure is in
tended only to meet the present emer-
gency. 1t is limited to the period of
the war and a sufficient time thereaft-
er for readjustment. 1t is based on
the war clauses of the constitution.
Purposes of Measure.
1.-THE purposes are to stimulate pro-
duction, to reduce waste, to clear the
channels of distribution, to prevent
boarding, to assure fair prices, to elm
mate injurious speculation, to prohibit
evil practices on exchanges, and to
protect the public against extortion.

nizes that the war will disturb the
normal courses of trade. Accordingly,
1t provides machinery, first for stimu-
lating production and regulating dis
tribution so as to assure a fair profit
to those entitled to it, secondly, for
preventing the exploitation of neces-
saries of life by those who aim to take |
advantage of the war emergency to |
amass unearned fortunes. With these |
objects in view, the bill vests wide |
authority in the government to con- |
troll the situation.

Factories, plants, mines or other |
establishments engaged in producing |
necessaries may be requisitioned and
operated by the government if it be
essential. Just compensation for the
use is provided. The government is
further authorized to purchase, pro-
duce or otherwise to procure neces-
saries and to sell them at cost"
