I think we should be anxious to see that price control is maintained. If such provisions for recovery of damages and for civil penalties are effective in peacetime. why should they not be required in wartime? As examples of laws providing civil penalties. I cite the act relating to exceeding rice marketing quotas. the act with respect to violation of various immigration restrictions. the slave trading act. and the act relating to false or Insufficient manifest specifying sea and ships stores. There are many others. In all of them the mere act itself. without any requirement that the violation be willful. is sufficient to make the violator subject to penalties.
