With the prospects of an early peaee.j looming up, members of the Senate ere looking toward legislation which moat be enacted immediately to meet the situation that will arise when the war | is over. One of the first questions that will present themselves Is the continu ance of the food and fuel administra tions. The food control law, under which both were created, lapses with the j war. Continuance of War Boaads. Some of the senators believe that it will be imperative to continue the work of the food administration and probably that of the fuel' administration for at least a year after the war ends. They believe, too, that it will be necssary to continue in operation the War Industries Board and the War Trade Board to pre vent chaotic conditions in this country when all the nations of Europe rush to it for supplies after peace comes. The situation with regard to the food supply will be more serious after oeace is restored than it is today, while the war is going on, Food Ad ministrator Hoover has told some of] 'he senators. This country will be called upon to serve food to starving millions in Russia and to Germany and Austria, where the people are facing an evil wniter. While the mil-| lions of men in the Army will be re- . reased from service and able to return to their homes, it will not be pos sible for them to make much impres- , sion on the food shortage In Europe until next year, when the crops must, be planted and harvested. Opposition Expected. j The continuation of the food ad-. ministration will have strong support, i tut there is no doubt that it will meet with opposition, just as it did when the law-was under consideration in the Senate. ? Senator Reid of Missouri, Senator Lodge and others are said to be bit terly opposed to a continuation of these organisations, believing that the law of supply and demand can be relied upon to take care of the sit uation. It has developed that the In vestig&tion of the food and fuel ad ministrations, which, was carried on by a subcommittee of the Senate com mittee on manufactures last winter, is to be renewed as soon as the elec tions are over. This subcommittee is headed by Senator Reed, and Senator Lodge Is another member. This is regarded in some quarters as the first move on the part of the opponents of the fuel and food administrations as the fuel and food administrations to pre vent any legislation extending the life of these organizations. ?
