Government Bans
Hoarding OF S.
Scarce Materials
Order Aimed
To Prevent
Speculation

The National Production
Authority today banned hoard
ing of SIS scarce materials essent-
ial to defense and civilian pro-
duction.
The order makes it illegal for
businessmen, consumers for
householders to accumulate these
products in excess of the
reasonable demands" 1t also
specifically prohibits acquiring
the products for resale at prices
in excess of prevailing market
prices - a provision aimed at
"black marketing"
The SIS items include cement
softwood lumber and plywood
paper and paperboard, cast iron
soil pipe, and long list OF
metals and chemicals.
Any violation of the order is
punishable by up to $4,000 fine
and a years Imprisonment.
The anti-hoarding decree ex.
tends and re-enforces an earlier
NPA inventory control order
which applied only to business
and industry and covered only
26 materials.
The new order, effective al
once, NPA accomplishes these
ends:
|. 1t sets up a ban against
household boarding and starts a
list to which NPA later could
add such items as automobile
tires, cars, and other consumer
goods - though none of these is
named in the present order.
2. 1t plugs a loophole in the
original order by eliminating the
chance that a businessman
might hoard materials with the
excuse that they were for per-
sonal consumption.
3. It discourages the entry OF
individuals into the business of
speculative buying in hopes OF
making resales to industrial con-
sumers later at higher prices.
Such speculative trading, partic-
ularly by newcomers in the field
looking for a quick profit, is oft
en- termed gray market" or
"black market" operations.
