PACT WITH GERMANY
KEEPS CH|lE!|NEUTRAL

Buenos Aires, May 1.-Germany
and Chile negotiated secret treaty
guaranteeing Germany a foothold In
South America in 1918, when Prince
Henry of Prussia visited Chile. ac-
cording to an article published in
Revista today by Jose Molins. one Of
the foremost authorities on South
American relations. Molins declared
Chile was powerless to sympathize
with the United States or Brazil, be-
cause OF this pact.
According to Revista's article, the
secret agreement between Chile and
Germany guaranteed German influ-
ence in South America, regardless
Of future developments"
In return, Chile was pledged Ger
man aid in maintaining her suprem-
acy in western South America--in-
cluding an ambitious plan for Chile
ultimately to seize Patagonia from
Argentine.
Chile is powerless to express her
views with the United States, lest
Germany reveal this treaty" declar-
ed Molins IN conclusion.

THE FOOD CONTROL PROBLEM

THE FOOD CONTROL PROBLEM
A news item comes over the wire
that is Of interest to every citizen
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land. The administration has
asked. and a bill, already introduc-
ed in congress, would grant the right
to federal authorities to regulate the
prices Of foodstuffs.
What the law. If passed. might
provide is a matter Of conjecture;
but certain statements in letter is
sued by the department Of agricul-
ture. in whose hands the administra-
tion Of such a law would rest. are
Illuminating. We read:
I'VE have suggested that congress
confer power on the government to
fix minimum and maximum prices II
the emergency requires them. The
object OF a minimum price to pro-
ducers would be to stimulate pro-
duction of certain staple pro
ducts by assuring farmers that
these products would not be disposed
Of below a certain level which would
give them a reasonable return. 1t II
suggested that maximum prices be
fixed to producers, but that power
to fix such prices governing the dis
tribution Of products be given to the
government to be used IL necessar,
to control uneconomic speculation
and manipulation in the handling o.
food products.
This is one OF the most importan
problems facing the government II
these busy days. Its solution viii
indicate in no small degree whethe
our handling Of these great prob
lens is to be efficient.
