Excerpt from War Time Control of Distribution of Foods: A Short History of the Distribution Division of the United States Food Administration, Its Personnel and Achievements
In the attempt to present a brief history of the Dis tribution Division of the United States Food Adminis tration, we have found it quite impossible to treat the activites of this division apart from that of the whole Food Administration. The work of all divisions was so closely inter-related that it is difficult to point to a single achievement of any division which could have been effected without the closest cooperation and assistance from a number of Divisions which had charge of other phases of the activity.
However, as we do not wish to write a history of the Food Administration as a whole, a task which has been left to other hands, we shall confine ourselves largely to a statement of the relation of the Distribution Divi sion to the main Food Administration program. The fact that space does not permit us to refer especially to the activities of other divisions should not in any way detract from the importance of the service rendered by them, nor is it intended to qualify in any degree the previous statement that many of the achievements mentioned could not have been accomplished but for the coiiperation of all branches of the Food Adminis tration.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Amidst the turmoil of World War I, the author recounts the urgent need for wartime food control to prevent both extreme scarcity and hoarding. Their argument is bolstered by an exploration of the many paradoxes inherent in the suspension of free market principles and the introduction of arbitrary price controls. This book details the specific measures used to control the food trade, including licensing schemes, profit control, and restrictions on contracts. Above all, it emphasises the cooperative spirit in which an entire industry embraced voluntary sacrifice in pursuit of one shared goal: winning the war. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
