MEMBER OF ADVISORY COMMITS
SION TELLS HOW TO COME
FROM HYSTERICAL BUSI-
NESS RETRENcHMENT.
ALL INDUSTRIES MUST BE
MADE MORE PROLIFIC
DepIores Fact That Conditions Of I'm
employment Prevail as Result of
indiscriminate Efforts, Public
and Private Toward War
Time Economies.

| Washington, April 21.-Warning tt
| the nation against a real danger il
| hysterical and ill-advised economy
| and interference with normal pursuits
| of the people is given by Howard E
Coffin, of the advisory commission Of
the Council of National Defense in a
statement just made public as the first
enterprise of the governments new
committee on public information.
Just returned from trip through
several Middle Western states, Mr..
Coffin deplores the fact that condi.
tions of unemployment and closed fac.
tories should arise as result of in.
discriminate efforts, public and private
toward war time economies.
Economy Running to Hystera.
after nearly three years of refusal
to take the European war and it's les
son seriously" Mr.. Coffin says, 1--WE
suddenly launched forth in a most
feVerish activity.
Because of an impending and pos.
sible shortage of foodstuffs we have
historical demands for economy in
every line of human endeavor Waste
is bad but an discriminating econ.
omy is worse.
Some states and municipalities are
stopping road building and other pub
lie work. General business is being
slowed down because of the emotion
al response of the trading public to
these misguided campaigns for econ
omy; savings are being withdrawn
from the banks; reports show that
some people have begun to hoard
food supplies and thousands of work
ers are being thrown needlessly out
Of employment. All this is wrong.
Must Increase Production.
"It is true that the President has |
said that this is time to correct our |
habits of wastefulness. Certainly! But |
he keynote of his message to the |
people was this paragraph:
cit is evident to every thinking
nan that our industries, on the farm,
n the shipyards, in the mines, in the
actories, must be made more prolific
nd more efficient
1--WE need prosperity in war time
ven more than when we are at peace.
The declaration of war can have no
cal evil effect on business"

STORAGE HOUSES ARE
TANNED WITH FOOD
Spectators to Make Big Profit I'M
less Government lntervenes.

Chicago, April 21.-With food prices
mounting daily on the grounds of scar
city, investigators here learned that
storage houses are damned with food
stores of hitherto unapproacLed mag
nitude, while thousands of tons more
are in cars on sidings.
The bulk of the stored products com
sists of non-perishables. Ownership,
in many instances is held by men not
in the provision business who have
taken flier" in food and will in due
course take handsome profits unless
the government intervenes.

FOOD CRISIS UP TO CONGRESS
LEGISLATION FOR GOVERNMENT
CONTROL ON PROGRAM.
Production, Distribution and Even
Price Fixing by Government to
Be Considered.

Washington, April 21.-Legislatior
to give the government firm grasI
on food control will be introduced IL
Congress at once
Power will be asked for the govern
ment not only to supervise production
but to deal with distribution in order
to insure a fair supply of food to
every part of the country at reason
able prices. Details are not known,
but it is believed actual price-fxing
may have place in laws to be asked
and that authority will be requested
to establish virtual food dictatorship,
If that becomes necessary.
Must Also Feed Allies.
The food situation, officials realize,
presents one of the most serious
problems the country will have to
meet during the war. The United
States faces the question of feeding
not only its own population on a
small food reserve and poor crop pros
poets, but supplying as far as posi-
Bile, too, the Allies.
Administration heads are bending
every effort towards convincing the
country of the need for greater pro-
duction. The Department of Agricul-
ture is building up an organization of
state and county boards through which
to reach producer and consumer.
Names New Assistant.
Secretary Houston named R. A.
Pearson, president of the Iowa State
College of Agriculture, to serve indei-
nitely as an assistant secretary of ag-
riculture. At the same time he in
vited the heads of five of the great
farmers organizations to come to
for a food conference.

INDUSTRY.
RETAILERS MUST HELP
OR FACE COMPETITION
Municipal Depots To Be Established
in Cities Where Local Bakers Re-
fuse to Co-operate-Standa Bread
Content and Flour-Size Of Loaf May
Not be Established.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Early regulh-
! ton Of the baking industry was prom
ised last night by Food Administrator
Hoover.
Plans to control bread production
and distribution already are under con-
sideratioii and will be PIT; into opera
ton as soon as bread baking expert
ments now being conducted in several
cities are completed.
Municipal bread depots will be pro-
vided if it is found that retailers can
not be controlled under a voluntary ar
rangement.
The baking industry was left out OF
the general food control to be Put into
effect Nov. l. Before taking any steps
to deal with the industry, the food ad-
ministration wishes, first, TO standard
ize baking flour; second, to standard
lie bread ingredients. and. third. TO
standardize either the size OF the loaf
or the price.
Standard Bread Planned.
The bread content will be established
on the basis OF facts disclosed IN the
experiments unueF way. II Is nopsi "
establish a standard bread, containing
the same amount always OF lard, milk
and other ingredients. Flour will be
standardized thru the cooperation OF
mlliers. In further standardization the
food administration SIN is in doubt as
to whether it will be best 70 establish
definite sized loaf. or TO establish Il
definite price with the size as variant.
If the size Of the loaf Is standard
tied Mr.. Hoover believes the prices can
be kept down thru competition, and If
the price on the other hand Is stabtl-
tied ne believes competition will to
some extent keep the size Of the loaf
from being reduced.
Retailers Must Co. operate.
II a licensing system Is put Into
effect Il can not be made TO apply un-
der the food control act to retailers
and the price will be for bread nj the
bakery door The plan for bread depots
will be put into effect. however II re-
tailers refuse to cooperate in holding
prices down.
