This was amply demonstrated during World War II.

"Black Markets, which we bitterly oppose, can no more be prevented than bootlegging during the prohibition era. "If price ceilings and rollbacks are imposed on cattle, while at the same time new wage formulas are adopted (as has just been announced by the wage stabilization board) to allow wages to exceed ceilings, which will have the effect of raising the cost of labor, feed and everything else used by cattlemen, including transportation costs from ranch to market, it doesn't take an economist to determine that profits on cattle rais ing will vanish with the result that numbers of cattle will diminish and while quoted prices will be low, meat will be scarce or unobtain able, thus repeating the experience of World War II. Cattlemen will inevitably have to cut down production when the profit incentive disappears and the future is Influenced, if not con trolled, by strong minorities who want every thing they buy reduced while their Income is being increased to overcome "inequities." "The cattle and cotton industry have been discriminated against, and this discrimination will bring about less production when production Is the only answer.
