Meat Prices Not to
Be Fixed, Says Hoover

Washington, Sept. 7.-Price-fxing
for meat and dairy products has no
place in the Governments food con-
troll plans. Herbert Hoover, the food
administrator, has told the national
live stock conference. The food ad-
ministration has been given no such
power. he said.
Su long as there is a heavy demand
for meat with a decreased production,
M. Hoover said, meat prices will con-
tinue to soar. The hope of the food
administration Is that it can stabilize
quotations and thus eliminate specu-
lation.
Our problem is to increase pro-
duction. The best we may expect is a
slow development toward the ends we
seek. We can administer food control
only through the operation of all in
terests concerned" Mr.. Hoover said.
