3. Save in pursuance of a permit issued by the Wheat
   Controller appointed under the Wheat Trade Regulations,
   1920, made on the 16th day of March, 1920, it shall not be
   lawful for any person in New Zealand, at any time while
   this Order in Council remains in force, to purchase or agree
   or offer to purchase, whether as principal, agent, or otherwise,
   any wheat of the harvest of the season 1920-21 in New Zealand,
   or to be concerned in New Zealand in the making of
   any such purchase, agreement, or offer by any other person,
   whether in New Zealand or elsewhere, or to be concerned in
   New Zealand in the fulfilment or performance of any agreement
   for the purchase of any such wheat, whether such
   agreement has been made in New Zealand or elsewhere, and
   whether it has been made before or after the making of these
   regulations.

4. In these regulations the term “purchase” includes any
   mode of acquisition by agreement, save that acquisition by
   way of security only shall not be deemed to be a purchase.

5. For the purpose of these regulations an option or right
   of purchase shall be deemed to be an agreement to purchase.

6. For the purpose of these regulations every agreement
   for the purchase of wheat shall be deemed to be an agreement
   for the purchase of wheat of the harvest of the season 1920-21
   in New Zealand if in accordance with the terms thereof any
   wheat of that description could be delivered in due fulfilment
   of the agreement. The provisions of these regulations as
   to offers, options, or right of purchase shall be construed in
   like manner.

7. In granting a permit under these regulations the Wheat
   Controller may impose such terms and conditions as to the
   purchase and as to the disposition or use of the wheat so
   purchased as the Controller thinks advisable for the due
   regulation and maintenance of industries essential for the
   public welfare.

8. Any such permit may be granted or refused in the
   absolute discretion of the Wheat Controller, and shall be
   revocable at the will of the Controller.

9. When any wheat has been purchased under any such
   permit, it shall not be lawful for the purchaser to deal with
   it otherwise than in accordance with the terms and conditions
   on which the permit was granted.

10. The Wheat Controller, or his duly authorized representative,
    may require any person to give to him information
    relative to the sale or purchase of any wheat, whether by the
    person so required to give information or by any other person,
    and it shall be the duty of such persons, when so required,
    to give all such information in their possession accordingly.

11. Any person who makes any false representations with
    intent thereby to obtain any permit under these regulations
    either for himself or for any other person, or who in any
    manner deceives or attempts to deceive the Wheat Controller
    in the exercise of the powers conferred by these regulations,
    shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations,
    and shall be liable accordingly.
