Hotel Mems Association Of New York
and the New York Society Of Restau-
rateurs. conferred here to-day with
Herbert c, Hoover, food administrator,
on the question of what they could dc
in aid Of food conservation.
The most urgent need was the saw
ing Of wheat, Mr.. Hoover told his WIS.,
itors, who came at his request. OF
almost as great importance, he declared
was the conservation of pork and its
by-products, for the fats they contain
"Europe's children are dying by
thousands for lack of food fats Mr.
Hoover said zone way to save fooC
for them is 20 avoid the slaughter OF
calves. lambs and shoats. Allow The
young animals to grow up. We mus
do our greatest saving in the foodstuh
whose nature permits them TO b'
shipped TO Europe"

Press Unanimous in APP
proving Revocation of
Neutrality Decree
To Defend Sea Rights
Moral Victory Won by Join
ing Cause Of Civilization,
Says Editor

Rio de Janeiro, June %. The news
papers express the greatest satisfaction
over the decision of President Wonce-
slau Braz and Foreign Minister Milo
Pocanha to revoke Brazilian neutrality
in favor of the Entente Allies. The
"Courriere dc Mania looks upon this
revocation as the logical outcome OF
Brazil's external policy and the official
recognition Of a condition that already
existed.
Eve are firmly resolved to defend
during the war our interests on sea,
the newspaper declares, land to CO.
operate. when peace comes, toward the
revising Of maritime law. The purely
American phase of our policy was man
aged with exceptional skill by Milo
Pocanha. who with the same success
will lead us to a new and larger stage"
"A Razao" is OF the opinion that
Brazil has won a great moral victory
hv Joining the cause of civilization
This newspaper says that the country
has redeemed all the mistakes OF the
PAST, its inertia and puslllanimity.
Arrayed Against Germany
80 Paiz." under the title of AT
Last" asserts that the decree IN favor
OF the Entente has conferred on Bra
zils international position the tru
character Of belligerency. The article
says: -.
I'VE are in a period Of bellgerent
expectancy. Brazil does not confne
herself TO the declaration that she does
rot side with Germany. She shows that
she is on the side of Germsnys enc
mics. Her political orientation Is
from now on perfectly obvious. Com,
mon sense and dignity have prevailed
and we are progressing fearlessiy IN
the right direction"
The formal do Commerce. declares
that the Brazilian government, when
spontaneously achieved solidarity
with the United States. could not lose
sight of the principal reason for the
conhict between Germany and Amer
lea.
"The main fact is that the right OF
neutrals 20 carry on commercial inter
course among themselves had been VIC
lated the newspaper explains. The
attitude of Brazil, as expressed by the
new decree. is the logical consequence
Of Germany's acts.
All Americas United
"The support given by Brazil to the
rolicy of the great northern republic
has united all Of the Americas. The
Injustice Of the German aggression led
US to sympathize with and to support
the United States 1t was only natural
that sooner or later we should meet on
a common ground with the nations of
the Old World faithful to the same
deals. Yesterdays decree came natu-
rally, az a thing that was to be ex-
pected.'
"a Noticia" declares that the decree
means the government claims for Itself
the faculty Of directing the country's
external policy. In fulfilling this duty,
the newspaper adds. the government
docs not innoyate. but it confines itself
10 developing the thought of the Brazil
ian Congress.

MORE POWER.

Since the United States officially recognized state Of war existing between Amercica and Germany, the constant demand of the execu live has been for more and still more power.
 The constitutional limitations upon the power of the President are asked to be overcome by Con- such additional powers as may bet ter meet the national emergency of war.
 Whence it will not naturally be concluded and most correctly. that war and militarism and democracies

to national prejudice against the Hun has proved that national pre- judice is often far stronger than an instinct for democracy in the human mind
 The rule of the people for the people by the people is frankly a great nuisance and highly undesir able condition in war time. Theo- retically a compact autocracy, ad- ministered by a Kaiser direct from God, is the most efficient exponent of a war time administration.
 Beyond any doubt the use, of the people to a democratic ideal of a strongly hereditary nature, is a use that must be overcome before that people can be quickly adjusted to the wartime needs. Hence the cry of patriotism is self subordina- tion, self surrender and generally speaking the propping up on stout sheer legs the strongest form ot Authority.
 One therefore begins to hear talk of disloyalty, sedition, treason and the like, when the democratic in- stinct pops up and insists upon as- serting itself after its suppression has been approved.
 Ralph Easley. of the National Civic Federation. with almost bru- tai frankness has perfectly outlined the situation:
 up to a declaration of war;, he said, free speech, and free almost anything in relation to war are permissible; but after that line is crossed the status changes, and the same utterances for which man be cheered on the street corner the day before may cause him to be shot the day after.'
 Clearly enough the incomptlDil- ity of materializing military exist ence and a continuance of demo- cratic rights and privileges is very
 
 evident Upon war censorship and regulations. draftings and mobili- cations take the place of demo- cratic propaganda advocating an extension of more and more power to the people. Power has become centralized, concentrated and direct ed by highly endowed executive. The highest form of state craft too then is to persuade the people that they arc thus subjected for their own good. the establishment ! of spirit of altruism and self sac- rif1ce accompanied by an anihilation of the ego which may be made cas- fer by a long continued period of industrial subjection. although somewhat hampered by a popular myth concerning political freedom within such industrial subordina- l tioN

operations of the war, but the libe- ral government which had affected during years of campaigning, the principle and the policy of an exten- sion of democracy.
 Y certainly was somewhat of a peculiar phase of history that the same government which made Great Britain one house democracy, should have been charged with the duty of establishing an oligarchy adjusted to the carrying on of the war.
 The British government took three years to fully meet the require ments of the situation and that had been effected only by persuading the people that absolute defea, and dependence and the shearina of it's ancient glory 0would be the inevitable consequence of failure to accept the inevitable autocracy to enforce a succesfsul carrying -on of the war.
 Why there should be talk of de- mocratic armies and democratic a. tions in time of war is, maybe. a tactful hiding of the real facts. But there can be no such things. The military movements to be successful k4 nF r. ship with almost autocratic pow CTS. A democratic aggregation of officials each pulling different ways, each with different notions as to what is needed, each with personal objections to the plan of the other fellow, is purely and simply an inn possibility or a condition which if attempted would only lead to dis aster.
 The real art of government is ill persuading and educating and prov ing to the people that it is to their good that their liberties be re- moved: that they be subjected to conscription: that they have their lines of action circumscribed with in definite legal lines; that they bt forbidden to do this and directed tc do that; and that they will have little say in choosing who will for bid them and who will order them AS an art that is a fine art. and itt difficulties have been hardly over come in Great Britain up to this for what with conscientious objec tors' and Dr. Russells and others of no conscription fellowship af1i liation. the authorities have theil hands full in proving to demo cracy that it's democracy is a hui sance and a mistake.
 That it has been made easier by stories of German frightfulness of Fryatt and Cavell executions. O submarine atrocities and Zeeppehl raids upon unfortified towns is un 1 questionable. The judicious appea
