President, Urging Pas.
sage of Colombia Bill,
Sounds Warning

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2i.-The
United States may soon need "all
the friends we can attach 10 as in
Central America" President Wilson
wrote in letter 10 Senator Stone
recently. urging immediate ratinca-
tion OF the Colombian treaty. The
letter was given out today.
The letter follows:
Ny Dear SENATOR take the lib
erty OF writing 20 ask you II u will
not be possibls TO press the pending
treaty with Cob mbia again for ratl-
hoation. 1 admit my surprise that
there should be any objection TO Its
considerPt tion or 10 immediate action
upon II In view OF the unusual cir
Cumstances OF the moment.
The main argument for the treaty
and for its immediate ratification is.
OF course that in 10 we seek to do
justice to Colombia and TO settle
outstanding controversy which has
sadly intcrfered with the cordial re-
latlons between the two republics.
In addition 20 that argument. which
should be conclusive. there IL this
only too obvious consideration. that
We need now and u II possible shall
need very much more IN the imme-
date future NIL the friends we can
rtfarh 20 us In Central America,
where so many or our most critical
Interests center.
I would very much like your ad-
wee as 90 this matter IL seems To
mo that those who oppose this treaty
must b" thoughtless OF the present
situation
Cordially and faithfully yours
WOODROW WILSON.
In making public the letter. with
the presidents approval Senator
Stone. chairman OF the foreign rela
tions committee. stated II would be
useless TO attempt tc obtain ratihca-
tion at this session. Republicans. he
pointed out. are practically so'fd in
and sufficient in numbers
TO defeat the necessary twoihirds
vote.
Should an extra session OF the
senate be called after March 4.
Stone declared he would endcavor
at that time TO obtain senate assent
10 the treaty.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 2i.-Presi-
dent Wilson Is determined congress
thaIl pass Immediately the $500. 900
appropriation which the Federal
Trade commission mas requested for
the nationwide food price probe he
directed the commission and the de-
partment OF agriculture 10 make.
II was stated ofhcislly at 'hs
White House today that the prssi-
dent will give his personal attention
toward swinging congress into line
behind his food probe suggestion.
He made this decision following re-
ceipt OF news OF the New York tood
riots.
Asa result administration leaders
in congress today began lining up
forces 20 compel congressional sc-
auiescence.
Rep Borland in the house and
Senator Borsh In the senate are ex.
pected TO lead the night with the
charge that there is universal con-
viction that food prices are subject
TO widespread manipulation.
Senator Borah today demanded
that. congress remain in session un-
az adequate steps are Laken 10
bring prices back 10 normal.
Congress cannot adjourn" Bor-
ah said. so long az n is pos
slble for us 10 be OF any service
in this deplorable situation.
I'VE want bread was the cry
OF the French revolutionists as they
marched TO Versailles" said Borah.
cit Ia the most ominous cry that
can be heard In republic. and
whatever is said as 10 the effect Of
war on prices. the fact remains that
these people are in large measure
the victims OF speculators and com
binauons which are milking mil
lions out OF food.
There Is at the bottom OF things
no justification for this condition.
Congress cannot ignore the cries
OF the hungry The situation must
