Section 32 of the Board of Trade Act passed lost year is known as the “Anti-Profiteering Section,” and the statement made by the Prime Minister that it would be enforced has been further explained by Mr W. G. MacDonald, chairman of the Board of Trade. Me McDonald gives the method of the working of this section. If any person should feel aggrieved at prices being charged he should make his complaint to any official of the Labour Department. This department then inquires into the matter, and after the preliminary investigation it is handed over to the Board of Trade, which decides whether the circumstances warrant a prosecution being made. In-the event of proceedings being taken the services of the Crown Prosecutor will be available and the costs of the action will be borne by the Government. Several complaints have already been received, states Mr McDonald, and they are now under investigation.
