...associates of the Houses that have vacancies, in numbers equal only to these vacancies, and were given the use of the House dining room and library, they would gain advantages hitherto inaccessible to them, and the interests of the University would be furthered. This arrangement would not work any hardship on the regular House members; House facilities would not be taxed beyond their capacity; and, since the House masters would naturally retain their present prerogative of chooseing the members, deserving men from this scholastically qualified group could enjoy the privileges so long deprived them...

Accordingly, FACA issued import licenses after drastically reducing all importers' quotas. This action wrought considerably more hardship on legitimate dealers who had applied only for their honest needs than it did on a number of unscrupulous speculators and ex-'leggers who applied for quotas in the names of from one to 30 dummy corporations, with no intention of ever importing a drop. These gentry of late...
