Hoover Says the Food Administration
is Not n Pricc-FiXing
Body
Administrator Tells Why Government
Had to Take Charge of These
Commodities

Washington, Feb. 25.-Gcneral
price-fixing on agricultural products
is not a part of the poiicy Of the food
administration and will not be at
tempted, Food Administrator Hoover
said tonight in a statement designed
to reassurc farmers rcprehcnsivc that
the government might set maximum
prices on what they have to sell.
"There appears to be great deal
of misinformation circulated amongst
the agricultural communities as to
the policy and scope OF the food ad-
ministration with relation to price
fixing" said Mr.. Hoover. 81 wish to
say at once and emphatically that the
food administration is not a price fix
ing body except with regard to certain
commodities which are today domi-
mated by wholly abnormal overseas
commercial relations, and the sur
rounding factors with regard to which
are such as to promote great dangers
both against the farming community
and at the same time the consuming
community.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1918-02-27
NOT TO FIX PRICES
ON FARMERS GOODS

The two commodities under rrwu-
lation are sugar and wheat. With the
further exception Of cases in which
it has interviewed purely as a friendly
intermediary between organized pro
duccrs and consumers the food adj
mlnstratlon has no authority an no
desire TO fix prices on the products Of
agriculture.
"ln wheat we are faced with sin
gle purchasing agency whose proper
tlonatc purchases to the whole were
such as to dominate the price. Any
relationship with this agency by our
officials in limiting their operations,
thus becomes absolute price fixing mad
1t becomes a question as to whether
1t would be done openly and frankly
with our producing community or
done secretly at the VIII Of govern
mcnt officials.
Business Prudence
I'm the matter Of sugar it has been
common business prudence to Join
with the Allies in definite contract
with the Cuban authorities as to price,
rather than leave it to fluctuations
which would arise from short supplies
and irregular shipping facilities.
"fhc food administration has been
actively engaged in the elimination of
profitccring and speculation in the
distributing trades by regulating the
profits on prc-war basis.
"A still greater duty has been the
maintenance of an even course Of food
distribution in these times of greatest
dislocation."

AMERICAN SUBMARINE
CHASER HAD A HARD
AND EXCITING TRIP
Boat Reaches European Port After
Perilous Voyage Separated
From Escort
REMARK ABLE SEAMANSH1p
With the Engines Disabled, Crew
Rugged Up Sail From Red
Coverings

Washington, Feb. 26.-Safc arrival
at ans European port Of Il 110-foot
submarine chaser with a French crew
aboard which had not been heard
from since January Is was announced
today by the Navy Department. The
little craft was separated from her
escort during terrific gale while
bound for Europe.
No navigating Instruments were
aboard, but after being blown far off
their course, the Frcnchmcn estimated
their position and headed for port. TO
their remarkable Scamanship is al
trl5uted the success of the voyage.
Secretary Daniels announced the
news in this statement:
81 was delighted to receive a mes
sage today telling of the arrival in
port Of an American submarine
chaser which became separated from
her escort in the terrific blizzard of
January IS, had not been reported
since that time and which we feared
was lost. This was one Of the 10
foot boats which we were turning
over to the French Government, and
was manned by a French crew which
saved the craft by remarkable feat
Of navigation.
"ln the storm, which was one Of
the worst on record, the engines were
disabled and the boat left adrft far
out at sea. The crew managed to rig
up a sail made from bed coverings
and were able to make two or three
knots an hour before the wind. There
were no navigating instruments cx-
ccpt compass aboard and the crew
had to estimate their POSITIONS They
sailed for thirty-ninc days, going on
short rations, and finally reached
port"

Critical in PetrOgrad
In Petrograd the situation is criti-
cal. For the present the American and
Entente Allied ambassadors have
elected to remain in the capital pend
ing further developments, but many
attaches Of the embassies and civilians
have departed by way Of the Trans
Siberian Railway.
On the battle fronts the fighting by
the infantry continues mainly in the
nature Of patrol encounters. On nu-
merous sectors in France, Belgium
and Italy the big guns are engaged
in reciprocal duels, which at some
points are of considerable violence.
The latest exploit Of the unit of
Americans fighting with the French
along the Chemin- Des- Danes was "A
raid made in conjunction with the
French in which the German line was
penetrated for distance Of few
hundred yards. After sharp fighting,
in which number Of the enemy were
killed and wounded, two officers and
twenty men Of the German ranks were
brought back prisoners to the French
line by the Americans.
