fMIN SMS FIGHT AGAINST PROFITEERING

BILL ON SECOND READING IN HOUSE PROPOSES PENALTIES.

ONE MANUFACTURER TALKS

LONDON, August 12 (by the Associated Press).—The bouse of commons after hearing fftr Auckland Qeddea. minister for national service and reconstruction. declare that profiteering In foodstuffs was responsible for social unrest and discontent, passed last night on second reading the government bill providing for prosecution and penalties for persons guilty of profiteering. The bill was supported on second reading by the Labor party and the vote on passage was 251 to a Sir Auckland, who has charge of the

bill for the government, said the measure would have a bad effect on profiteering. The minister said a manufacturer in northern England hao told him he waa "ashamed” of the profits he was making. He added that shoes which sold at wholesale at from IS to S shillings. retailed at from 50 to N shillings. The bill now is in the hands of a committee of the whole house preparatory to bringing it up on final passage. Th# profiteering bill before the house of commons provides for the establfsnmeat of a central authority to deal with those speculating in the necessities of life. Local,and county tribunals would be associated with the-central authority. These tribunals would be empowered to inflict penalties up to 1380, or six months’ imprisonment. The bill would apply to England, Scotland and Wales, but not to Ireland. Too Care Urns.
