Seeded upon today by the food ad.
ministration. 1t is regarded by AID,
sninistrator Herbert C. Hoover as an
ample safeguard against running up
high prices in the retail market
Under the new ruling no manufac.
turer, whether wholesale or other
handler of food. will be permitted to
Cell any product to any retailer in
the country who fixes prices for his
goods at an unreasonable profit, or
Nho buys for speculative purposes.
The new order goes into effect on
Nov l.
II is made clear by the food ad-
ministration that, as the retailer is
exempt under the food law from the
licensing provision to which the
wholesaler is subject. the only way
to reach him is through the whole
saler.
The retailer is amenable TO the pro-
vision against the hoardingg. monopo.
lization. waste or destruction OF food
necessities. but there is no penalty
fixed for violation.
Special regulations to prevent spec
ulation in canned goods will also be
put into operation on Nov |. All
Gamers will be placed under license
and forbidden to make future sales
of canned corn, peas, tomatoes, sal
mon and sardines before Feb. |. This
date later may be extended, depend.
ing on the needs of the allies and the
American military forces
As in other Industries controlled by
the food administration, Gamers will
be required to sell their products at
a reasonable margin of profit, re.

to mobilize Americas kitchens for
the duration of the war started
throughout the nation today
Half million volunteers began in

housewife to sign the food pledge to
conserve wheat, meat, fat and sugar.

Food pledge week. postponed until
now to avoid conflict with the Liberty
Loan finale, will end Saturday night.
Upon the success or failure Of
Americas households to join this food
