      "(b) The Secretary of Agriculture shall promulgate regulations
    further postponing to July 1, 1940 the effective date of the
    provisions of sections 403(e)(1) [343(e)(1) of this title]; 403(g),
    (h), (i), (j), and (k) [343(g) to (k)]; 502(b), (d), (e), (f), (g),
    and (h) [352(b), (d) to (h) of this title]; and 602(b) [362(b) of

    bearing labeling which, prior to February 1, 1939, was
    lithographed, etched, stamped, pressed, printed, fused or blown on
    or in such containers, where compliance with such provisions would
    be unduly burdensome by reason of causing the loss of valuable
    stocks of such labeling or containers, and where such postponement
    would not prevent the public interest being adequately served:
    Provided, That in no case shall such regulations apply to labeling
    which would not have complied with the requirements of the Food and
    Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, as amended.

    title], paragraph fifth, under the heading 'In the case of food:',
    of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, as amended, and
    regulations promulgated thereunder, and all other provisions of
    such Act to the extent that they may relate to the enforcement of
    such section 8 [section 10 of this title] and of such regulations,
    shall remain in force until January 1, 1940.
      "(b) The provisions of such Act of June 30, 1906, as amended,
    [sections 1 to 5, 7 to 15, and 372a of this title] to the extent
    that they impose, or authorize the imposition of, any requirement
    imposed by section 403(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
    Act [section 343(k) of this title], shall remain in force until
    January 1, 1940.

        "(1) to the provisions of section 502(d) and (e) of the Federal
      Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act [352(d), (e) of this title], insofar
      as such provisions relate to any substance named in section 8
      [section 10 of this title], paragraph second, under the heading
      'In the case of drugs:', of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30,
      1906, as amended, or a derivative of any such substance; or

      and (h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act [352(b), (d)
