FOR FOOD DICTATORSHIP
That the United States may feed tsalr
and the world without interference from
rapacious food gamblers. President Wilson
will be empowered TO be food dictator. if
the Lever food bill now in the House be-
comes a law
The measure gives the President uuIim-
tied control over food prices and distribu-
tion over clothing and such necessities of
life. Herbert c. Hoover food expert, due
here today, may be the man upon whom
actual operation of such measure would
devolve.
Representative Lever expressed himself
as hopeful that the power conferred in
the bill would not have to be operated but
he held it advisable that the President
should have the dictatorial authority i'm
view of the possibility that the whole
world will have untold millions Of hungry
mouths TO Feed in the months ahead.
As framed, the measure is stronger even
than the recent proposals of Secretary of
agriculture Houston, 1t proposes that the
President shall have arbitrary power 10
fix prices on food, clothes and like neces-
stiles; that he shall regulate production
Of commodities, and that he can COM
mandeer factories and mines that he can
prevent gamblers bottling up supplies; that
ne can compel railroads to move necessl-
i1ips ahead of other freight that he can
limit or prohibit use Of foodstuffs in man
.UEacture of intoxicants. and that he can
!prohibt dumping Of foreign goods by inn
posing restrictive import duties
s. Lever and other authorities feel that the
bill will serve club over the heads
l0f unscrupulous food spectators, and for
this reason may never have to be put into
nctual operation.
