(By Associated Press)
j WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.—Exten
sion of the government's price fixing
power to other products than food and
fuel and especially to Iron and steel,
is believed necessary by the federal
trade commission in the light of ex
perience gained in Investigating econ
omic conditions since the United
States entered the war Kocommen
dation that a temporary admlnlstra-,1
tive body lie established to deter-1
mine reasonable prices for prime ne
cessities and also to regulate the dfs
tribution of raw materials and finish
ed products was made In the commis
sion s annual report, submitted today
to congress.

the commission’s powers or obtaining |
information be broadened to author
ize requirement of reports from In
dividuals engaged in commerce, as
well as corporations; that informa
tion gathered by temporaj-y semi-offi
cial organizations such as the council
of national defense, including all cor
respondence, be ordered preserved;
that trade association files should be
made to permit proper measures with
regard to American industrial organ
ization now and when peace is con
cluded; that the Webb bill to elimin- Z
ate associations for export trade from ■
the operation of the Sherman law be
passed, and that the salary limitation
of 15,000 a year be removed from the
commission’s expert employes.
Declaration of war has not lessened
either the number or importance of
the complaints made to the commis
sion of unfair competition, but on the
contrary the number of complaints
has increased. During the fiscal year
ending June 30, a total of 102 com
plaints were disposed of without
formal proceedings, leaving 191 com
plaints still under investigation. Ap
plication for remedial procedure by
the commission showed a decrease
from the fiscal year ending June 30,
1916. In nine cases during the last
year, the commission issued formal
complaints, and in four the matter
was disposed of by the issuance of
orders to cease and desist.
Beside its regulative function, the
commission has been engaged in econ
omic investigations, the most im- i
portant of which concerned the news
print paper, gasoline and coal indus
tries. At the request of the presi
dent the commission has undertaken
extensive inquiries into industries
furnishing war sunnlies to th ?nv. I
ernment and information thus obtain
I ed is being used as a. basis for gov
ernment contracts.
