, responsibility. The presidents en-
trance into the prohibition fight is
partly to secure speed and partly to
get law which he believes the
country will approve.
Administration leaders feel prohi
bition legislation would be a disturb
/ ing factor in the economic life OF
tbs country and might lead to dis
content among workers, whose whole
ht arted support is needed to win the
wtr.
Postmaster General Burleson, who
OFTEN represents the president in con
lerences, told the senator's the presi
dent does not desire to disturb or
divide public sentiment during the
war by cutting off the consumption
of light alcoholic beverages In gen.
eral use and such action is unneces-
sary as it would conserve a com.
paratiyely small supply of foodstuffs.
The fight in congress over govern
ment control of food and other neces-
saries has virtually narrowed to the
question of prohibition
The house control bill amended by
the senate agriculture committee was
substituted in the senate for its
original draft and debated, Senator
Lodge opening the prohibition con.
test with speech in favor of con
Itinuing manufacture of beer and win =
The bill as it now stands would pro-
hibit the manufacture of all intox icat-
ing beverages but empower the pres
ident to exempt wines.
Senators Johnson OF California, and
Kellogg, of Minnesota, spoke on the
general features of the bill, prom
Using it their support as war meas
ure.
Senator Johnson, opening the de-
bate on the control bill, declared its
enactment necessary to win the war
America must make the sacrifice
in dollars and creature comforts
within the next year or she must
make thereafter the sacrifice in men
and then ultimately the sacrifice in
material things as WE'LL" he said
THE short cut to victory is organ
ization and this organization can
come only with concentration of
authority 1t is, therefore, with an
absolute confidence that l give my
vote to a bill according the most
extraordinary and autocratic powers
ever before conferred in our nation"
There must be sacrifice of profits
just as there is sacrifice of blood,
the senator said.
The Massachusetts senator opposed
particularly the proposal that the
American industries shall sell to
foreign nations as well as the Amer
lean government at low prices. He
said the minimum price fixing prov
ision holds "over the heads of all
businesses and industry a deadly
threat" and protested gainst the ex-
emption of farmers from the boarding
section.
