Preliminary investigation.
Section 4
SEC. 4. Preliminary investigation.—Every person or group of persons contemplating the organization of an association under this Act shall communicate with the Director of the Bureau of Commerce and Industry, who will inform him or them whatever a survey of the marketing or other economic conditions affecting any or all of the agricultural products proposed to be handled may indicate regarding probable success. On account of non-compliance with this provision, or, upon the belief that the marketing or other economic conditions affecting the distribution of any or all of the agricultural products proposed to be handled do not justify the organization of such an association, the Director of the Bureau of Commerce and Industry may delay or refuse the issuance of certificate of incorporation.
