"By way of immediate relief, surplus stocks of both food and clothing in the hands of the Government will be sold."

"They constitute a burden upon us which is the more unbearable because we know that it is wilfully imposed by those who have the power."

"We are dealing, gentlemen of the Congress, I need hardly say, with, very critical and very difficult matters."

"Opinion and concerted action on the part of purchasers can probably do the rest."
