Hoowr, Who Says $250,000,000 B|as Been Ex- tracted From People During the Past- Five Months. Washington, June 19.—Food specu- lators have been taking 550,000,000 a month for the last five months-—a to- tal of a quarter of a billion dollars— from the American people, Herbert C Hoover today told senators in explain- ing the purpose of the food control bill now before congress. Disclaiming entirely that the bill sets up a food dictatorship, Mi Hoov- er told senators its purposes weie €#* tirely to organise the resources of the country and the people them /*lves into a food administration to limit middlemen's commissions and prevent extortion. ' * \With righteous manufacturers and distributors' prices,\ he said, **the price of ..flour should not have been over $9 a barrel, yet it averaged $14. In the last five months $250i0Q0,00O has been extracted from the American consumer in excess of normal profits of manufacturers and distributors\ Not a single national trade associa- tion, Hoover told the senators, is op- posed to the food control bill The prospective food administrator went to the capitol early today to explain the bill informally to senators, in the hope tha|, a full understanding of its * objects and purposes may allay some of the opposition. Mr.-, Hoover outlined broadly the question of prospective food supplies. \The real question,\ ha said in. a prepared statement, preliminary to senatorial questioning, • ^is whether the 0 shortage will continue next-year and what will be the needs off the *allips and America. Despite the re- duced consumption of the allies they will require larger amounts of cereals, next year than ever before. \The allies are dependent upon North America for the vast ^majority of their food imports. We should be e to supply 60 per cent of What they require. The other 40 per cent must be made up by further denial on their part and saving on ours. Without an adequate- food supply no European population will continue to fight and we should find ourselves alone against Germany. \The Russian revolution' w£s a food riot and even yet that ally is tempor- arily paralyzed. Responsibility rests on our government for fafhire ef democracy through a shortage of food.\ • I ' • Mr. Hoover said this country has been experiencing \unprecedented prices and rampant speculation,\ cit- ing how middle men arid all dither persons in the distribution processes have been purchasing increasing sup- plies to avert individual shortages. Thousands of men, he said^ who here- tofore have never owned a [dollar's worth of foodstuffs are now speculat- ing in necessities. , \The average priees to thje consum- ers in countries where fOo(i adminis- tration is now in effect are lower than those now prevailing in jt|he United States,\ he said. \In England the price of brerid is even 25 p>r eent be- low the price we pay. I believe that. unless some administration of our food is-taken vtf will look back at these prices as being rabderjate,\ i Yeggs at Parishville.
