NEW RESTRICTIONS ON CAIN SHIPPING -- Ljubljana, Slovenski Porocevalec, 28 Oct 50
The decrees on the turnover of agricultural products were recently changed
by the federal chairman of the Council for the Turnover of Goods in order to
guarantee the supply of food to the population and to prevent speculation.
According to these changes, restrictions have been instituted on the shipping of
graai barley (wheat,, barley, moats, rye, and corn) and grain products (flour, farina,
y --oats) The restrictions forbid the purchase and sale of these prod-
ucts.
According to the new regulations, a farmer may ship and sell his products
only after obtaining a statement from the Srez People's Council under the juris-
diction of which he lives, to the effect that the products are the farmer's own
property, that the farmer has fulfilled his compulsory delivery in its entirety,
that no additional compulsory delivery has to be effected by him, and that he
has permission to ship his products in his own or government vehicles.
Consumers may purchase and ship agricultural products, not exceeding 60 kilo-
grams, for their'own use only. A consumer must have a statement from his Srez
People's Council to the effect that the products purchased or shipped are in-
tended for his own use. Furthermore, to ship these goods, a consumer must have
permission from the Srez People's Council under whose jurisdiction the purchase
took place.
These restrictions do not apply to farmers who ship their agricultural prod-
ucts from their own farms to the locality under whose jurisdiction their farms
belong. These restrictions do not apply to workers who work on farm work coop-
eratives and at capital construction projects and who have been given grain as
payment.
To prevent speculation, there will be a fine of 20,000 dinars for all those
who sell, purchase, or ship grain not in accordance with the above regulations,
if their acts are not punishable under other laws. In addition to the fine, .
control agencies will confiscate the Fain and pay the offenders for it at gov-
ernment prices.
