To stabilize prices based upon cist of production at fair and stimulative profit to the producer and with sta bilization to eliminate speculative risks and wasteful practices and thus obtain some gains for the consumer.
 The latter policy. MT. Hoover said, would have an important bearing on agricultural production and permit of long view being taken and supporteG in assuring the producer of fair re- turns.
 This course is also fraught with dangers he added. Tt leads either to a voluntary agreement with the packers as to prices to be paid pro- ducers and charged to consumers from time to time, or to actual operation of the packing plants by the government. In either case the government will need to take some financial responsi- biilty in speculative business. In such situation the government will be under constant pressure from the producers for enhancement of price and from the consumer for reductions. It ilecessi- tates the constant action of a conmis sion to determine such prices It will
 mean that all the complaints of trade fall upon the government. The choice of alternatives is one of determination | of the maximum contribution to win ming the war and the choice of the
 lesser economic evil between such all
 ternatives.
 Definite Policy Essential. We have been struggling as intelli- gently as possible with the situation in ] the meat industries with entire inade- Iquacy of definite national policy. Our purchases hitherto have been sufn- Ecient to influence the market at times
 and in the case of pork products have
 been sufficient to preserve minimum price. We have been, however, power less hitherto to properly protect all ] branches of the cattle industry with lits constantly changing economic sit
 uation. or to give intelligent direction
 or assistance to cattle production. As iyou know, have never felt that when we arrived at a point to deterrnine the
 broad policy with respect to a com modity that this should be determined at the opinion of any single individual. no matter. how sincere and earnest the duplication of intelligence might be- T would therefore like to recom- Imend to you to extend the policy which you have already initiated in the mat ter of many commodities, by early ap- pointment of board to study the en-
 tire situation with regard to the meat industry and the steps that should be i taken with regard thereto"
