Plan 70 CONTROL F0C..,.
MEASURE APPROVED BY AID.
MfNIsTRATlON INTRODUCED
IN UPPER HOUSE.

Says That Powerful Group of Food
Gamblers IA Striving to Hamper
Government Program for Fair
Prices.
Washington, May ia food con-
troll bill approved by the administra-
tion and containing many features Of
the agriculture department measure
pending in the house was introduced
I'm the senate today by Senator Gore
chairman Of the agriculture commit
tee. An effort will be made to bring
it to the senate floor.
The bill contains most of the pro-
posals fought. according to Carl
Vrooman. assistant secretary of agri-
culture, by powerful lobby Of
wealthy food gamblers. 1t calls for Il
food survey by the agriculture de-
partment and would give the depart
ment power to license the manufac-
ture, storage and distribution Of
food. One provision would legalize
the mixture. of wheat and other ce-
reals in the making of -four and
would fix food standards.
Mr.. Vrooman In n formal statement
tonight declared unpatriotic interests
were trying to defeat the food bill
An outraged public sentiment, he
said, would condemn them for their
efforts.
Secretary Vrooman's statement said ::
Never in the history of the world
have business men shown as much
patriotism. and unselfshness as have
been manifested since the war began
by the business men of America. An
overwhelming majority of them have
been as ready to place their business
organizations and their personal SER
vices and their wealth at the disposal
of the federal goversment In this
crisis as the young men have been
to do the actual fighting.
Ao ''c'ctt tHib dtIituQe ms not
been universal. There are food spec
ulators. food cornerers and food gam
blers. some of them men Of immense
wealth and others of very small
means, who are today taking advan-
tage of war conditions to exploit their
fellow citizens to the full extent of
their ability. These men are allies
Of the kaiser and are doing their ut
most to defeat tho patriotic purposes
Of the nation. Wherever they are
seen. In high places or in low, they
should be condemned and made TO
feel the loathing and contempt Of
every patriotic American. These men
will be taken care of in due time by
national, State and municipal lesis-
lation. but until such legislation can
be enacted the only effective power
that can he brought against them is
the power of an outraged public sem
timent and that should be- used Wig
orously and mercilessly.
IT am told that some of these men
are actually in Washington today con-

of wOmans suffrage
The present idea is to make the bill
as little contentious as possible, so
that the second reading may be easily
secured, then, in committee these two
excepted questions may be raised az
amendments to the bill. thus giving
the house an opportunity to record its
opinion.
1t cannot be doubted that the views
expressed today by Mr.. Asquith, Wal
ter Hume Long. and other prominent
former opponents of Woman's suffrage
viii inf -.ence many others opposing it,
During the war this opposition has
been a rapidly dwindling one It still
is possible that the women may have
! to wait until after the war for the
fullest recognition of their claims, but
the vote for women in some shape now
is certain. The new bill will not be
introduced until considerable time af-
| ter Easter as the budget and other ur-
gent business claim priority.
The premier, paying the warmest
! tribute to woman's work during the
| war, especially the devotion, courage
| and zeal of women munitions makers.
| said that when after the war the ma
| ton came to re-cast the whole indus
| trial fabric, to give women no voice
! therein would be an outrage; it would
| be inedu!table, unjust and ungrateful
and he believed that the country would
not sanction such injustice for mo-
ment.
Walter Hume Long. secretary for the
colonies, said he had been a lifelong
| opnonent of woman suffrage, but if he
| still held the same views, which he did
! not. he would not raise his voice
against granting recognition to women.

making war on US.
President Wilson and practically
every member of his cabinet have re-
ceived invitations within the last few
days TO address patriotic meetings in
various parts of the country but so far
have consistently refused to accept
them.
They have done so partly because
they have been too busy here with
actual preparations and partly because
they do not desire to be placed in the
position of making efforts to stir up
the country. They believe that the
nation is fully aware of the danger Of
the present situation and will respond
readily to any reasonable demand either
for money or for men.
House leaders, democrats and re-
publicans, began conferences late today
