ISSUES STATEMENT WHEREIN HE
SAYS cOUNTRY'S EXPORTS ARE
TO GO WHERE MOST
NEEDED.
DIRECTION OF U. S. TRADE
ESSENTIAL TO VICTORY
free Play of Trade Not to Be Arbi-
trariIy Interfered With But InteIli-
gently and Systematically Di.
rected to Care for Our
Needs at Home.

Washington, June 81. - Control Of
American exports, authorized in a
clause of the espionage bill, was as
sumed by President Wilson with the
appointment of an exports council
comprising the secretaries of state,
agriculture and commerce and the
food administrator. An executive or
der creating the council directs the
Department of Commerce to admins
ter details Of operation.
A victorious conclusion of the war
can come, said the President in a state
ment outlining the country's export po-
Icy, only by systematic direction of
American trade. The free play Of
trade will not be arbitrarily interior
ed WITH" he said. 1T will now be in.
telligently and systematically directed
in the light of full information with
regard to the needs and market con.
ditions throughout the world and the
necessities of III people at home and
u armies and the armies Of our as.
sociates abroad.
Fair Deal to All.
"Our duty in the matter of food.
stuffs and like necessaries is to see
to it that the peoples associated with
us in the war get as generous a pro.
portion as possible of our surplus, but
it will also be our wish and purpose
to supply the neutral nations whose
peoples depend upon US for such sup
plies as nearly in proportion to their
need as the amount to be divided per.
mits.
Exports Not Affected.
There will, thus, be little check
put upon the volume of exports and
the prices obtained for them will not
be affected by this regulation.
This policy will be carried out, not
by prohibitive regulations, therefore,
but by a system of licensing exports
which will be as simply organized and
administered as possible so as to con.
stitute no impediment to the normal
flow of commerce. In brief, the free
play. of trade will not be arbitrarily
interfered with. 1t will only be in
diligently and systematically directed
in the light of full information with
regard to needs and market condi-
ton throughout the world and the ne.
cessities of our people at home and
u armies and the armies of our as
sociates abroad.
Taking Grain Inventory.
"The government is taking, or has
taken, steps to ascertain for example,
just what the available present supply
of wheat and corn is remaining from
the crops of last year, to learn from
each of the countries exporting those
foodstuffs from the United States what
their purchases in this country now
are, and where they are stored, and
what their needs are in order that we
may adjust things so far as possible
to our own needs and free stocks, and
this information is of course being rap.
idly supplied"

A sweeping oruer issued last Tues
day by the State Board of Health pro
hibiting the holding of any fair, State
or county, chautauquas, street carni-
walls or circuses until further notice,
because Of infantile paralysis, has
compelled the directors of the Gale
donia County Fair to cease all plans
for the annual event. Although at
first it was planned to have one of
the biggest shows of recent years, and
the directors were having the whole
support of the Caledonia Farmers
Association, the order of the State
Board of Health has put the damper
on for this year.
The order as issued mentions the
fact that there has been 68 cases
of infantile paralysis this year, &
greater number than in any of the
five years past with one exception
Sixty-one cases and six deaths have
occurred since June 16. In the pas
years, the notice further reads, 1--WE

PARTISAN FIGHT
ON in CONGRESS
Republicans Flock About
Leader Mann to Block
Food Bill Conference

Washington, July 24.-The Admin
istration program of food legislation
encountered another delay today
when Republican Leader Mann block
ed plans to hurry the food control bill
to conference.
The proposal to create joint COM
mittee of Congress on expenditures. of
the war, written into the bill in the
Senate and objected to by President
Wilson as sfgnifying a lack Of con-
fidence in him, was the feature which
started the trouble. The Republican
leader rallied many memebrs of his
party about him, and tonight the sit
uation had taken on the aspect of a
partisan fight, virtually for the first
time since the war session met.
Administration leaders, despairine
of sending the bill to conference un-
der a unanimous consent agreement
are prepared to bring in a special rule
tomorrow under which they expect to
force conference and in addition to
instruct the conferees to disagree to
all Senate amendments.

"Sammies" Will Make
Best of Fighters

Although army service is new and

enter some unit of the new American
army. they will develop the same esprit
de corps as they are noted for in their
sports, and will make as fine fighting
men as are on the front today" That
remark made to Caledonian re-
porter by a major in the British army,

among the officers of the Allied armies
concerning the future soldiers of Un-
