FOOD CONTROL
(Continued from Pirst Page.)
American life, disturb business, lake
property without compensation and
embark upon an enterprise of varied
dangers.
Representative Graham, of Illinois,
speaking in favor of the measure, to
day nrou.yd Interest by .suDmltting a
comprehensive list of American .British
prices on staples received by him from
Ambasador Spring Rice on last May 1!*.
?Some of the Bullish prices wore lower
than the American prices, despite the
fact, as Mr. Graham said, "that Eng
land is surrounded by submarines."
Hoover's Plan.
WASHINGTON". June ID. ? Food spec
ulators have been taking SSO.O'iO.OOO a
month for the last five months ? a total
? >f a quarter of a billion dollars ? from
.the American people. Herbert C. Hoover
today told senators in explaining the
purposes of the food control bili now
before congress.
Mr. Hoover outlined broadly the ques
tion of prospective food supplies.
"The real Question." he said in a pre
pared statement, preliminary to senato
rial questioning, "is whether Hie short
age will continue next year and what
will be the needs of the allies and
America. Desplte-the reduced consump
tion of the allies, they will require
larger amounts i.f cereals next yeilr
than ever before, The allies are more
isolated in food fources. It takes three
times the tonnage and double the trou
ble to get Australian wheat, f'rnp fail
ures in the Argentine give no hope of
relief from there before next spring.
"The allies are dependent upon North
| America for the vast majority of their
food imports. We should he able to
I supply HU per retit of what they re
I quire. The other 40 par cent must be
i nut ilc up by further denial on their part
I and saving on ours. We can increase
jour surplus: The situation for them
next year means increased privation
Without an adequate food supply no
I Kuropean population will continue to
| fight and we shall tind ourselves alone
, against Germany.
"The' Russian revolution wai a food
r!ot and oven yet that ally is temporar
ily paralyzed. Responsibility rests on
our government for failure of democracy
through a shortage of food."
Turninir to inmestic "conditions. Mr.
| Hoover said this country lias been ex
! periencinr unprecedented prices .and
' rampant speculation." citing how mi.l
! dlemen and all other persons in the dls
I t'lhution processes have been purchasing
increasing supplies to avert Individual
! shortages.
i Mr. TT"Over cited the canning trade as
j an exampl" where the entire output of
vegetables and lish for 1017 has been
I disposed of already before it has even
j reached th^ eimners. He predicted fur
ther high prices. Thousands of men. he
; said, who heretofore have never owned
:a dollars' worth of foodstuff are now
j speculating in necessities,
i "Th?- average prices to |he consumers
j in countries where food administration
I is nc\y in effect are lower than those- now
j prevailing in the l"nit'?d States." he said.
I "In KiiKland the price of bread Is even
? ." per cent h<-|ow ii^e price we puy. I
lieve that unless some administration
of our food is taken, we will look back
.?it these pric-s ns lieintr moderate."
Mr. Hoov ?r denied that the. bill estab
lishes a food dictatorship. He eharac
| terisced the purposes of food .?Hlminist*-?.
I tlon a>: to mobilise Hie people In order
| to carry out the urivh? given them by
the Rovernmeni officials and to decen
J tralize i he functions of the administra
tion. in order to centralize the functions
? of the food administration into the varl
| . states.

and possibly ? few other principal com
modities. Mr. Hoover said. Is being con
templated.
"Provisions for the government. 10 buy!
and sell commodities wilt b<> necessary
for use only as to a very few prime com
modities," he said. "The aim is 10 stab
ilize prices and thus eliminate specula
tion. The balance wheel for stabilizing
[ prices is gone. "We need ail artificial
! balance wheel. By setting up a wheat
; commission we ran buy wheat, regulate
'? its storage and transportation and han- 1
! die it until exporteu or sold In this coun-'l
try. If wo do not do this, wheat prlccs
may relapse on account of our not being
able to store and carry it, with spocuia
, tors securing the sole ebenrlt and faritt
1 ers bearing th2 loss.
"We contract tomorrow with t lie al-!
lies for a certain return for every bushel
of wheal we can sell. By controlling
prices at interior terminals we can a_s- 1
sure millers their supplies and .simplify |
I transportation."
As to sugar, Mr. Hoover said Amer
ican refiners are competing with the al
; ll?s in Cuba and that the proposed sugar!
j commission would co-operated with the
| allied purchasers, the American refiners
and Cuban producers, stabilizing and re
ducing prices as well as removing spec- 1
; ulative Incentives. The proposed ap- '
| propriation of $150,000,000 for govern
ment purchase of commodities. Mr.
I Hoover said, might prove too small, but
I is needed for banking facilities.
"We feel confident consumers' prices
1 of sugar and flour will be reduced, as I
weil as others through our co-operation '
I with leaders of* other trades." he said,
i "We must have power to license grain ,
'elevators so that they may play their]
part In the team work of the govcrn
' ment."
Chairman Gore o* the agriculture
| committee and Senator Reed of Mis- 1
souri. leading the opposition to the bill,:
took a leadinc part in questioning Mr,
.Hoover. "Th? resort to these extraor
j til nary powers Is only because of the
i war?" asked Senator Gore.
"To provide not only more food for |
the allies, but for ourselves," replb-d
Mr. Hoover. "Kven if we had not gotten
?into the war we would have been up
against this tremendous demand from
Ktirope and probahly driven to some leg
islation to protect our own people."
Mr. Hoover expressly disclaimed mi-.
1 liorship. personal interest or responsi
bility for the bill's provisions extend
ing to fuels.
"I'm concerned only with the provij
sions relating to food," he insisted. 1
The provisions- for eommandeerinif
factories, mines and other plants,- he
added, would not be necessary in admin
! istering food questions.
j Senator Heed asked who was respoosl
I ble for the clauses relating to fuel and
; Senator oheppard. of Texas, suggested
1 that President Wilson desired that au
| rhority. "It Is not fair to the President
: to say that," Senator G.^re Inter Jccted.
"I may say that I had sscver.il talks with
| him 0*11 the bill and he expressed gr-at
I surprise at some of the thiilgs that are
f in it."
I Senator Reed referred to a section!
| which, he contended, would permit the
i government to take from cribs ruid bins
; grain stored there in excess of the
I amount actually needed by the farmer,
and asked Mr. Hoover's opinion regard
ing the enforcement.
"As far as I am concerned, I would
not attempt to execute It as far a.s ih?:
present situation appears," replied Mr.
i Hoover. ' ?
"Then you don't Intend to take crain
1 from the farmer's bin," said Senator
uurc.
"No." replied Mr. Hoover. He added
hedid not intend to enforce the section
authorizing the government to tako
charge of patents and formulas.
"Do you desire any such power?" asked
Soi.rtor Rc-d.
"No. 1 do not," replied Mr. Hoover,
adding. "I do not think any of this
power would be assumed- except when
% (tally needed, in order to correct exist
ing evils."
Mr. Hoover alf'o said the food admin
istration had no desire of regulating
consumption of food as Is being done
abroad. saying that would be left to the
\oluntary will of the people.
i Senator C5ore asked Mr. Hoover If ho
, would deny to the farmer the right to
! judKe the amount of crops he should
! grow.
"If the government guarantees a min
imum price." Mr. Hoover replied, "we
might not get the beneficial result for
i the farmer unless we also have the
' power to limit imports."
Mr. Hoover "aid "possibly" th* bill
| should be amended to give farmers the
I right to determine their own produc
I tion.
| "We don't propose to go to tlto ex
tent of fixing consumers' rations." Mr.
I Hoover added, "except as to hotels.
' restaurants, etc., regarding the amount
! of bread portions to be served,. and the
j like. England did a foolish 'thing in
J trying to fix maximum prices, a fa 1 1 -
J ure wherever tried."
"Do you contend that under the bill
j you can say to'Senator Heed, for in -
. stance, that he shall eat a soupborie >r
: a fteak on certain days?" asked Senu
! tor Kviiyon.
"1 don't think we have any such right,
nor should w? have it." Mr. Hoover re
j plied emphatically. "We we should
' have the right to suggest tin.- use o|
j h soupbone a day and see if we can
reach any agreement voluntarily."
Senator Reed insisted that legislation
? is not needed to cfl'ect such voluntary
arrangements, but Mr. Hoover said a
I law should authorize the food adnnnls
! trator to thai end.
Mr. Hoover said with all wheat im
j ported, bread prices in Kelgium with
lift per cent less than in New York city.
I while those in Knglaud and France ar-:
j 30 to 40 per cent lower, with producers
: realizing the sa-nti prices.,
"We now have a high cost of living."
I he continued, "beyond the abilities of
, certain sections of the population to
withstand and to secure proper nour
j ishment from the wage levels. I'nless
we can ameliorate this condition, ana
| unless we can , pre vent further advances
j In price, we must confront further an
I entire rearrangement of the wag? level
j with all the hardships and social dis
turbances which necessarily follow. W
? shall (n this turmoil experience large
loss In' national efficiency at a lime
j when we can least afford to lose the
! energies of a single man.
"It proposes to mobilize ti Spirit of
: self-denial, and self-siicfitice hi this
(country In order that we may reduce n.i
, ttonnl waste. If democracy is worth
i anything, we can do these things by <?>>
? operation. If St cannot be done, it is
j better that we accept German domina
! tion and confess the failure of our polii
i leal ideals.
"No one will undertake this -oll'iee
i who had hopes of retaining ' t lie esteem
j'of his country. Any food adminisiri
1 tion must be based upon se| f-v.-n-ritl
i somebody, somewhere, and while she
j vast majority of Mie people will accept
jit willingly ami with pride, t here will
j be a minority whose complaints .will
'sound much larger above i he satisfac
tion of the inarticulate masses.
We have iio home of .eomi'letc success
! but wn have hope that we shall succeed
.so far as to ??liable this counlrv and the
'allies to remain constant in this war."
1 Disclaiming entirely that the lull sets
j up a food dictatorship. Mr. Hoover told
senators its purposes were- entirely to
'organize the resources of the country'
i and the people themselves into a food
administration to limit middlemen's
commissions and prevent extortion.
With righteous manufacturers' and
distributors' prices." he said, "the pric
of (lour should not have I >?-??? i : over i'.'

last live months over 2r>0.f'ilii,ilfirt has

the new ciiy administration.
Such a stc-p was proposed by < "ouncil
li'iin Adam Ilium when the ordinance
graining ilu- Quarter Savings bank a
P>rmit to construct an arcawiiy "ii the
Mark'/ .?t i?-ei side of its building came
up f"r cor) tid'Tat ion last evening. -Mr.
I lu in pointed out that many Milk-walks
are obstructed to some extent by reason
? ?1' many such permits, ??specially in the
business section of Market street. He
{?.sked for the opinion <>f the city solicitor
as in whether or not it would be legal
for council to impo.se a rental upon the
tily property So occupied.
Solicitor M. .1. I'ullinan staled that
while he was not in position to answer
definitely. 'i? was of the opinion that
council would be clearly within lis right
in demanding for the city a reasonable
remuneration for the use of city prop
trty. It would have to be done by ordi
nance. he said.
Would Affect Previous Grant*.
Dr. hi. I j. Armhreciit raised the point
as to what effect such an ordinance
would have on the permits granted in
the past. Air. I'ullinnn replied that if
council has the right to ennct such a
license, that the rental would affect
1 | ??operty occupied under permits already
granted as well as those to be grant*-u
I rri.after.
As a result of the state law passed
recently forbidding municipal councils
from imposing license taxes on bucket
shops, automobiles and motorcycles.
Wheeling will face a deficit of some
thing like $14,000 in revenue which came
from these sources, tine official, figur
ing hurriedly last evening, calculated
that with a fair rental collected yearly
trom city property occupied under spe
cial privilege grants, as much as $30.O*i0
a year might be added to the treasury.
Mr. Cullman suggested that In case
such legislation be enacted, the ordi
nance establish a scale of rentals, ac
cording to the district in which such
rental is to be collected.
With this prospect of raising addition
al funds in view, the Quarter Savings
hank ordinance was referred to a com
mittee of the whole council to be con
sidered at a meeting next .Monday eve
ning.
No HAdical Changes.
The new license tax ordinance pre
pared by Solicitor Cuillnan was present
cl last evening and read for the infor
mation of council. It makes no. radical
? hanges in the schedule of license taxes
imposed by the old council during the
last two y -.'irs. But additional revenue
must be liu.i somewhere to meet the
$ 14.000 deficit and ilie ordinance was re
ferred to a committee of the whole
| council, to be dealt with nexi Monday
night before being presented for passage
in one week.
The ordinance differs from other li
cense tax ordinances in that it will re
main in effect until repealed, instead of
a new ordinance having to he enacted
each year. Complying with the state
law. automobile, motorcycle and bucket
license taxes are omitted. The turf ex

ADMIRAL SIMS
(Continued from Page One.)
. * W'ASHIXOTi i.V .1 ii ii. 1!'. ? A brief
nii-ssax1' I rum I.opdon today brought
lite navy department its first news of
? the appointment of Vice-Admiral Sims
to command the allied naval forces in
Irish waters during the absence of .the
commander of that district. The de
partment had no. other informal. on as
to the. new responsibilities placed upon
th? American officer.
The Washington government ins
given Admiral Sims wide powers lo
enable him to meet any situation Ihat
li. rv arise. Mecause of the distance
from Washington to the seine of oper
ations, no effort was made to hamper
the officer with requirements that he
report for order*. The admiral has r'ttll
authority to act on his own Initiative
in disposing the forces at his command
so as to secure the greatest co-opera
tton with the French ami Mrltish navies
and also the maximum efficiency in the
battle against German submarines.
Much of his lime has been spent in
l.ondon and Paris and today's advices
are the first to- 'indicate that he has
been "at sea with his ships. It -was
said at the department, however, that
the officer determined for himself t he
best- course to pursue and would spend
all ills time afloat if he regarded that
as advisable.
! Tremendous ? .responsibilities have
'been placed . on Admiral Sims' shoul
ders. The title of torpedoed ships in
Irish waters is an often-repeated one.
It bus been sold that even without the
A uteri' an vessels, the Mritish have had
thousands' of destroyers, submarine
chasers of all si7.es and kinds, mine
sweepers. aircraft and even other
. I- mow ii .methods, of combatting subma
rines posted in Oiesc waters in the ef
fort to keep open the shipping la-ie.e
All of tliese forces are now under
? Admiral Sin's. ? >n hint nl.no .rests prob
ably the duty of arranging for the ar
rival and departure of commercial ves
sels, both t ran.*-;- A t lantio and coastwise,
tl at ply Irish- waters. British admir
alty exercises .rigid . control over all
ship movements, and no' vessel leaves
port until the naval commander reports
the seas free of -the enemy.
