THAT FOOD CONTROL BILL.

Within very short time-unless
Jim Reed, Gore and other Senators
IoHce more spill foods OF words-Con-
gress will adopt some sort of food con-
servation measure.
The sole question is whether in it's
finality it will do the work the Presi-
dent has promised the consumer it
will do
Food conservation and control have
met resistance every step through the
Senate. More than in the house, the
gray wolves of special privilege have
1aunted their power
They secured long weeks of delay
absolutely priceless to them and ex-
ceedingly costly to the people. They
emasculated sections of the bill.
They were battling in the last ditch
for their continued control of wheat,
flour, meat and other foodstuffs which
the people need and for which the
prices have mounted sky high.
That is why the President should
scrutinize the bill with microscope
when it coems to him-to find out not
whether it has some little technical
flaw, but whether in its larger provis-
ions, it is anything like what is needed
to meet the situation.
The people have looked to Washing
ton for relief, to Tighten their burdens.
Food comes closest, They know they
are being victimized and they demand
the pillage be stopped. They are con-
WINGED that if the right kind of bill is
clothed with authority, results will be
quickly obtained. Results are what are
wanted, not apologies or explanations.
And that is where the President can
and should come in strong. If the bill
as finally laid before him is a mere
shell, if it gives him the mere color Of
food control without the real power, if
it is aimed merely to make noise
without accomplishing definite results,
the chief executive should promptly
veto it.
In plain language, calling a spade
spade, ne should tell why he yetoes it
and place the responsibility directly
where it belongs.
He should then insist that Congress

adopt a measure that he can sign.
The American people have been vic
timized long enough. They are in no
mood for triiing They want relief and
they want it now.

And they will make their voices hear.

A JUDAS AMONG NATIONS.

A recently published official list of
neutral ships sunk by the Germans
from August s, 1914, to April &c, 1917,
reveals the Hohenzollern Government
as the enemy of all the world. Every
nation with flag upon the high seas
has suffered at the hands of the Prus-
sian buccaneers. In all, eight hun
dred and forty-nine vessels represent
ing total of more than one and a half
million tons have been destroyed-neu-
trail vessels whose sinking was as I'M
warranted under the law of nations as
the invasion of neutral territory or the
killing of non-combatants would be.
Those very crimes, it is true, have
been perpetrated by Germany on such
an enormous scale and with such Gym
ical abandon that her piracy seems al
most a trifie in comparison. But that
Ipiracy, it should be remembered, has
been carried on for three years against
the whole worlds commerce, in savage
defiance of law and in brutal disregard
Iof honor and humanity. Commenting
On the black record, Prof. w. Macneile
Dixon, of the University of Glasgow,
truly observes;
The ships and lives destroyed
are the ships and lives of friends,
of nations with whom Germany
processes to have no quarrel, some
of whom have assisted, and assist
ed valiantly, in relieving her dis
tress. ENGAGED in peaceful COM
merce, guilty of no belligerent act,
protected by international law,
they were none the less DESTROYED.
Behind these melancholy official
columns lie the tragedies. The
imagination, and that only in
dim and distant fashion, can paint
the full picture of this modern
Slaughter of the Innocents, the
death and suffering and misery of
which this colorless record is the
merest index"
Seventy-six Dutch vessels, one hun
bred and one Swedish, one hundred
and fourteen Danish and four hundred
and thirty-six Norwegian were sunk
by German mines and submarines up
TO April rs last. All those nations are
Germany's neighbors, all have been
rigidly neutral, all have done much to
keep her from starving. Yet, notwith-
standing her debt to them, she has de-
stroyed their ships and slain their sail
o-s as pitlessly as though they had been
her foes. That is the Prussian way of
showing gratitude That is the Kais-
er's idea of honor and fair play. The
fact is, Of course, Germany has set out
deliberately to destroy as much ocean
tonnage as she can with a view to her
own commercial interests after the
war. Her newspapers boast that
great merchant feet, lying safe in her
harbors, is being augumented contin-
ually by ships now building and that
the moment peace is declared this feet
will dart forth to capture trade from
the impoverished neutrals and enemy
countries alike.
1t is doubtful that any other nation
would have conceived such sordidly
