...liquor trade was permitted to name a committee of ten, subject to Federal approval, to fix prices. But FACA could revise these prices, hold tight rein over all phases of the industry. Increase of plant capacity over Dec. 5 output was forbidden, except under special circumstances. FACA had power to control production and distribution through a quota system. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration, under whose direction the liquor industry fell, had inserted a stipulation that the industry pay "parity" prices for its raw materials.

...program for 1934 calling for 500.000 tons of cultivated rubber-50% of the potential production and 200.000 tons below the ten year average. Aside from the Dutchmen, production of native rubber, an uncontrollable and widely varying factor, has been one of the chief obstacles of a rubber-tight agreement. But the times are in joint: it is estimated rubber consumption in 1933 will exceed production for the first time in five years.
