With this warning from both Pres

new food administrator, leaders of
both parties turned to the food prob
lem again today as the most press
ing difficulty ahead of the nation.
England's clamors for more food
are growing louder while the prices
in this country climb higher and the
laboring mans demands for govern
mental action to reduce the high cost
of food stuffs becomes more insis-
tent.
President Wilson has told republi-
cans and democrats that ample
powers must be given the food con-
troll department, or the allies will be
coming to this country bidding for
American food and hoisting prices
out of sight.
Hoover says adequate machinery
must be set up at once to see that
American markets are not ratded
and prices forced to point of en-
barrassment to the American people.
1--WE must" he says, protect our
selves from our allies in order to
protect our own people and at the
same time do all Justice by the allies
and all the service for them that we
can"
Both the president and Hoover in
sist the power of absolute requisition
must be behind the food department.
Pressing demands from the allies
for everything the United States can
furnish, coupled with urgent appeals
from the people of this country for
action on the food question. is spur

the sake Of speed, the house agricul-

and standardize certain food stuffs.
Hoover himself would not attempt
to do any price fixing, except as a
last resort to preserve the country's
food supply. He believes, however,
minimum prices might serve to slim
ulate production and authority to fix
minimum prices will be left in the
