President Wilson will be asked to straight

ing of the Democratic steering committee,
Senator Martin, floor leader, and Senator
Simmons, chairman OF the Finance Commit
tee will 20 to the White House this after

Opposition to the Gore substitute bill grew
today and complicated the situation fur
ther
Senator Chamberlain, handling food con-
troll for the President opposed a formal
vote on the Gore measure at an Agriculture
Committee meeting today. Time was de-
sired by friends Of the Hoover food admin
istration to study the Oklahoma Senator's
bill further. to see whether meats, sugar
and fats are not likely to escape regulation
under its terms.
Hoover's friends made it known that only
the original Lever bill as 1t came from the
House Agriculture Committee would en-
tlrey satisfy them They announced they
would rather see prohibition and other
issues settled on their merits in separate
bills after food-control legislation is en-
acted.
The Gore substitute, like the present Sem
ate bill also would prevent manufacture

at stake Its fate probably will be decided
by the Senate today.
II the Senate agrees to the Agriculture
Committees amendment to the food and
liquor control bill, forbiddlng voluntary
agents Of the Government from buying sup
plies for the Government from concerns In
which they are interested II is the belief
Of the Administration leaders, the National
Defense Council will have to disband,
The council and its advisory committee
Is made up Of big business men who have
volunteered their services to aid the Cow
crnment in obtaining supplies, and they
are often being placed in the position of
dealing with concerns In which they are
officers or stockholders.
Presdint Wilson has appealed TO the
Senate to modify the amendment, hut his
letter to Senator McKellar, Of Tennessee,
calling attention to the probable disastrous
effect on the National Defense Council, has
thus far met with little response. Even
the most ardent Of Administration sup
porters are unwilling to follow the Presi-
dent i'm giving congressional sanction TO
business men and manufacturers buying
from themselves for the Government with
the peoples money.
without questioning for minute the
integrity Of the national defense council
members, the big majority of Senator'S take
the position that in the spending Of billions
of dollars for war supplies the Government
ought 10 60 to great lengths 10 avoid even
the appearance Of corruption. This is the
view Of Senator McKellar we'll as Of
Senator Reed, Of Missouri, and others.

HOLLWeg Quits Post
Under Reform Fire
Continued from PAGE One

Continued from raEe One
Vice Chancellor Helfferich and Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman from the Govern
ment has been officially gazetted in Ber-
lin Both were Of the strongest pro-Prus-
sian type and were frequently criticized by
Socialists and ccrlcals for their unrelenting
efforts to maintain the dominancy Of Prus-
sia over the other German States. Their
elimination, It is believed, will strengthen
the position Of the Chancellor Doctor Won
Hollwec.
Advices from Berlin said that the
Kaiser and the Crown Prince were con-
ferrinE with the higher statesmen as to
the successors Of Doctor Helfferich and
Doctor Zimmerman,
An imperial Ministry Of Labor is to be
added TO the German Government to ap-
paasc the working classes.
Accord .nC to the Cologne Volks ZeiturE
the political power Of the Kaiser will suffer
to some extent because the Cabinet in the
future will he held responsible to the
Rechstag instead of TO the Emperor, as
in the past This is to be brought about
through a concentration of power in the
hands of the Foreign Minister. the Chan
celor, the Vice Chancellor and the Minis
ter Of Labor Through them the whole
Cabinet will become responsible TO the
Reichstag
MINISTER'S RESIGN
The shake-up extends to the Prussian
Cabinet as well as the Imperial Cabinet
Five Prussian Ministers have resigned and
they will be replaced by leaders closer 10
the people Electoral reforms for Prussia
also are on the slate They will be aimed
at the removal Of the transccndent political
influence Of the Junkers (war party) and
agrarians over the Prussan Government
The political disturbances are closely
allied with the question Of peace. A teie-
gram from Cologne today quoted the semi
official Gazette as saying;
The whole crisis is mainly the result OF
the UNIVERSAL demand for peace by the
German people and the peace demand is
occasioned largely by the food difficulties.
Just as the Chancellor in his speech Mon
day, when he declared that Germany must
fight to the last gasp" showed that peace
vas a long way off, No does the echo come
now from DR.. Matthias Erzberger, the cler-
ical deputy who was mainly responsible for
the present crisis.
Writing in the Germania, Doctor Err
berger said he was convinced that the war
would last for a long time and that reforms
should not be delayed until peace comes.

The danger signals are backaehe, de-
