GOVERNMENT FOOD
CONTROL NECESSARY
TO BREAK CORNERS

Washington, May 1.-THE govern.
ment, if given power to fix maximum
food prices, would exercise that au.
thority only to break up corners, or
to prevent extortion, Secretary Hous.
ton said today in letter replying to
an inquiry.
Referring to popular misapprehen-
sion regarding the proposal that the
government set price on footstuifs,
Secretary Houston explained that only
two suggestions have been made. zone
is that the government be given pow.
er to fix minimum price with a view
to stimulating production" said the
secretary. This price would be suf
fciently high to insure producers
against loss
THE other suggestion Is that the
government be given power to fix a
maximum price in extreme emergen
cies to break up corners or to contro
eNtOrtion."
