ding agricultural produce should be
freed of the restrictions OF the Sher-
man antitrust law, Secretary Herbert
Hoover told an audience OF farmers,
cooperative marketing officials and
bankers yesterday.
The Department OF Commerce
came to the early conclusion that the
hope of improving distribution sys-
TENS in fruits and vegetables was in
the establishment of co-operativeS, be-
cause we do not see any other agency
by which commodities can be stand
ardized and dealt in at distribution
centers economically and without
speculation.
There are numerous things a Co
operative can do that are illegal. we
have felt that for the cooperative the
law should be very much wldened, so
that co-operatiVes are not under any
restraint of law in trade practices.
Replying to question as TO now
far a cooperative might be relieved OF
legal restraint, Hoover said, L see no
harm in taking them clear out from
under the Sherman act.
Declaring that action should be JUS
titled on purely economic GROUNDS, ne
explained that agricultural products
differ from other products in that an
excessive price cannot be hXed ano
maintained in the event cooperative
secured a monopoly of a product.
