Washington. D. c., May 29.-The re-
port of the Senate Judiciary Commit

justice OF the Supreme Court, accord
ing to friends of Justice Hughes, is a
source of great satisfaction to the lat
ter, who has been intimately acquainted

Justice Hughes deemed it proper to
let his position in the matter become
public He now feels, his friends say,

pleasure at the prospect Of being as
sociated with his old acquaintance IN
the Supreme Court.
When Justice Hughes was practising
law in New York the Brandeis law firm
was Boston correspondent for Carter,

[By Cable % The Tribune

London, May 29.-Although the Eng
lish press generally expresses slight
irritation at President Wilson's peace
speech, considering it premature and
not approaching his point that there
is little difference between the bellig-
erents, I gathered enough opinions in
the House Of Commons this afternoon
TO show that there is some sentiment
for an early peace. II the members
statements interpret fairly the senti-
ments OF the constituencies they rep
resent the peace movement is gaining
ground rapidly. This is the first time
have been able TO get any consldera-
bic number of members TO speak for

tons are changing rapidly. II must be
understood that the general sentiment
still is unquestionably for the prosecu-
tion of the war.
Richard Lambert, representative Of a
manufacturing centre, said: Peace
feeling is growing rapidly, but not
peace at any price. What we want is
such a peace as will guarantee no re-
currence of the present ghastly con-
fict. and President Wilson's speech is
all to the good. There is no desire
here for territorial acquisitions, but
simply TO show that might does not

DEMOCRATS FOR
TARIFF BOARD
Kitchin Issues Statement
Indorsing Protection
for Dyestuffs.
From Ths Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, May 29-No Re2uoli
can pleading the old full dinner pail
argument ever made a more rat'ona
argument for the protective tariff anc
the encouragement of infant industries
and Republican doctrines in genera
than did Claude Kitchin. Democratic
floor leader, in a statement today ex
planning why the Administration i!
going to protect dyestuffs.
Incidentally. Mr.. Kitchin, following
a meeting OF the Democrats OF the
Ways and Means Committee, announced
that the new revenue bill will embrace
the dyestuf tariff schedule, the Rainey
Tariff Commission bill and an anti.
dumping and unfair competition clause
Following is Mr.. Kitchin's statement:
"The majority members have finally
decided to report favorably the Admin
istration Tariff Commission bill, known
as the Rainey bill, which will be part
of the general revenue bill OF this
session.
There will be incorporated in the
general revenue bill ample provision
for the encouragement Of the dyestuf
industry, the committee believing that
the production of dyestuff stands soli-
tary and alone in its relations to the
tariff. Before the European war Ger
many controlled the whole production.
We produced here less than 20 per
cent. Not only the United States but
tie whole world was dependent upon
Germany. The action of the commit
tee will make it possible that within
the next FIVE years American dyestuf
manufacturers will produce at least So
per cent of the domestic consumption,
and this will make not only dyestuffs
manufacturers but the industries US
ing dyestuffs independent of the Ger
man monopoly.
There will also be incorporated in
the general revenue bill ample anti
dumping and unfair competition pro-
visions"
Mr.. Kitchin further said that he be-
leves that the bill which will finally be
presented to the House will be so nom
partisan that large number of Repub-
licans, if not majority, will be able
to support it.
When asked what time the commit
tee will probably report out the bill
he replied that it would be after the
national conventions were held.
Nothing definite was done regarding
the income, inheritance and munitions
taxes. The committee is expected to
report the revenue bill shortly.
For the Tariff Commissions expenses
100000 would be annually appro-
pristed.
The unfair competition provision is
Sc worded as TO put foreign importers,
through their agents, in the same po-
sition as American manufacturers are
under the antitrust law. 1t would make
it illegal for foreign importers TO so
depress the price Of goods as to ruin
an industry.
The anti-dumping clause is practi-
cally the same as in the original IN
derwood tariff bill. but stricken out by
the Senate.

TIE UP FOODS
PrusSian Decree Frees
Provisions from Rural
Districts.

Berlin, May 29.-Feeding the masses
of the population in the larger cities by
means of central kitchens under mu-
nicipal auspices is the solution selected
by the government to meet the problem
of the food supply and distribution dur
ing the period of the war
The president of the food regulation
board, Adolph Won Batocki, announced
TO the Ways and Means Committee of
the Reichstag to-day that an appro-
priation bill for funds 10 assist the
municipalities to organize and operate
the kitchens would be Immediately sub
mitted TO the Reichstag.
The municipality of Schoeneberg, the
second largest Berlin suburb, has al
ready arranged to feed 10000 persons
in such institutions. A similar organi-
,stion for Berlin was called into life at
a conference to-day, which was notable
for the presence Of two women, Frau
Hedwig Heyle and Fraulein Landsberg,
among the members of the conference.
The Prussian government has issued
decree tending to end one of the
most serious causes OF the scarcity of
meat in the larger cities-namely, the
growing tendency Of the local authori-
ties in the country districts TO pro-
hbit the export Of provisions from
these districts.
The decree, which is addressed TO
the provincial presidents. declares that
such prohibition must not be tolerated,
save in exceptional cases, and points
out that the special powers, granted
at an earlier date, were intended to
equalze the conditions Of living. and
not TO give preference to the producing
districts. It is added that under the
war conditions no class of people can
claim the right to live on an ante
bellum scale.
The decree confirms reports brought
to Berlin by travellers, who uniformly
express surprise at the abundance and
cheapness of food in the country dis
tricts.

declared himself optimistic with re-
gard TO the crop prospects and the
outlook of additional sustenance for
the people, declaration which is sup
ported by the highly favorable reports

FINDS A PUZZLE
Fails to Understand How
Wilson Reaches His
Point of View.
BY FRED B. PITNEY.
fRy Cable 70 The Tr1hun.

Paris, May 29.-President Will
sons peace proposals made before
the League to Enforce Peace are not
taken very seriously here, as it is
generally considered that his speech
was bound up with the approaching
Presidential campaign.
President Wilson put himself in
line with his audience" said the
journal" "and filled his speech with
illusions of a new world where
wolves are changed to sheep. In
truth the position Of the President
is embarrassing and dominated by
consideration of the electoral cam
paign in which, while he is assured
Of the Democratic nomination, he will
not necessarily have Bryan's radical
pacifist group with him, while, also,
he finds in front of him the pro-Ger-
mans and at the same time the inter
vention party pushing him from be.
hind. Wilson must try TO put him.
self in the centre and draw members
! of all parties to him. Therefore he
tries the inoffensive part Of invent
ing chimeras for the future"
Clemenceau's "L'Homme Enchaine'
says: Wilson is trying the old game
of pleasing both the Allies and Ger
many. The first part of his speech is
directed against Germany, which vio-
lated the sovereignty OF Belgium. and
the second part against England, be-
cause Germany has not free use Of the
seas"
The Figaro" says: "He begins with
the enormity Of declaring that the
causes Of the war are no longer impor-
tant, but he talked 10 pacfsts, and
therefore returned TO dreams which
seemed renounced when he separated
from Bryan and which seem necessary

and Wilson seemed TO share that view
when he sent an ultimatum 70 Germany
after the Sussex affair. II the Kaiser
has not yet broken the formal prom
ses he made in response 10 that ulti.
rstum. that is not sufficient reason
for adopting ideas which the power
lessness of his fleet has bred in him"
The Journal des Debats" says:
Sometimes President Wilson Is al
most insolent in the tone Of his ulti-
matums TO Germany; sometimes he has
searched for conciliatory language;
sometimes he poses as a champion OF
humanity and civilization. and some
times he divides politeness equally be-
tween barbarians and civilized people.
Last week he invited all the warring
nations without distinction 70 seek his
counsel. and finally before the Peace
League he laid down plan for uni
versal peace.

posals is that Germany and Austria
