Powers Are Limited Due to
Failure of Congress to Pass
Proper Legislation
SCOPE OF WORK
is CLEARLY DEFINED
No Undue Interference With
Normal Processes of Busi-
ness-Organization of Vol
unteer Character

Washington, May 19-President
Wilson today announced the selection
OF Herbert {. Hoover as food admin
istrator of the country
Mr.. Hoover has accepted and Will
begin Immediately the work of food
administration through the yolun-
tary cooperation and direction of
legitimate distributors of foodstufs
ana with the help of the women Of
the country" He will serve without
pay.
For the present Mr. Hoover's powers
are limited, owing to the failure of
congress TO pass the necessary legis-
lation. In a statement isued today
President Wilson outlined the need
for these additional powers, includ-
ing the power to fix prices and to
requ!sition food supplies. The presi-
dents statement follows:

matter, that the country should UNI
derstand exactly the scope and pur-
pose of the very great powers which
I have thought necessary in the CIR
cumstances to ask congress To put
in my hands with regard to food sup
plies. These powers are very great
indeed, but they are no greater than
it proved necessary TO lodge in the
other governments which are con-
Quoting this momentous war. and
their object is stimulation and con-
servatism. not arbitrary restraint or
injurious interference with the nor
NAL processes OF production. They
are intended to benefit and assist the
farmer and all those who PLAY a
legitimate part in the preparation,
distribution and marketing of food
stuffs.
1T is proposed to draw sharp
line of distinction between the nor
mai activities of the government rep
resented In the department of agri-
culture in reference TO food produc-
ton and conservation and marketing
on the one hand and the emergency
activities neCessitated by the war in
reference to the regulation Of food
distribution and consumption on the
other. All measures intended dirsct-
~ to extend the normal activities OF
the department Of agriculture in ref
erence to the production, conserva-
ton and the marketing of food crops

times. through that department, and
