Very little meat is produced or CON

mainly on vegetables, such as rice, rlsn,
certain bulbs, such rs tiger lily and

and different from anything found

Peas and beans are largely cutivat-

twenty or more varieties; radishes, In
all sizes which weigh from half u

Cucumbers include the climbing va

WILL LET COMMISSION
FIX PRICES ON PRINT PAPER.
Consent is Given BY Publishers, How
ever, Prosecutions Are Not to Be
Withdrawn

Washington.-New publishers
from throughout the United States,
meeting here with the Federal Trade
Commission, voted unanimously to CO.
operate with the commission if it de-
cided to accept the proposal by news
print manufacturers that the commits
sion fix price for their products. The
publishers agreed to reduce their re-
quirements, if necessary, to make the
plan successful
Francis J. Heney. speaking for the
commission, told the publishers that
any of their number who would not
agree to hold paper requirements to
the minimum would be kept from
benefitting by the price reduction if
the commission could accomplish it..
More than one hundred publishers,
representing both large and small
newspapers, were present at the meet
ing.
The publishers assent to the pro-
posal removes virtually all doubt of
it's acceptance by the Trade Commits
sion, and after manufacturers are seen
again it is expected the commission
will announce it is ready to go ahead
with the plan.
The Trade Commission believes
enough manufacturers are participant
ing to insure general price break.
Publishers made it clear that in &C
cepting the proposal they will not &C.
cept any plan carrying with it q
promise that manufacturers guilty Of
violating the antitrust laws escape
punishment. At meeting held before
they saw the commission, a resolution
was adopted saying:
cit is the. sense of those assembled
that whatever may be the outcome of
these pending conferences, there
should, in the judgment of this meet
ing, be no suspension or interruption
of the investigation into the cases
leading to the conditions now existing
in the news print paper trade now pro-
ceeding through the agency of the De-
partment of Justice"
After the meeting, most of the pub
fishers signed an agreement submit
ted by the commission in which they
pledged themselves to cut their "e-
ouirements at least five per cent be-
low their 1916 supply of paper.

Democratic element classed as "paci-

The Presidents advisers deplore
this situation for it's effect in Ger
many, where they are convinced it
will feed the official impression that
Congress will not support the Presi-
dent if he finds it necessary to go to
war, and that he is not speaking the
sentiments of a united country.
The Presidents request for author
ity to use other instrumentalities" is
the principal sticking point Even
the Republicans and some of the Dem
ocrats who hesitate to give him what
he asks, say they would be willing to
give him authority to arm American
ships or act on a definite proposal,
but are reluctant to sign a blank
check"
The Administration faces this divis-
ion in it's own ranks in its effort to
convince the Kaiser that the United
States is now preparing to enforce
respect for it's rights on the high seas.
Some Democrats point to the Presi-
dents own statement that he consid-
cred that he had already implied
authority to act, and might do so
without sanction of Congress. MI.
Wilson himself, however, said he pre-
ferred not to act on implications, and
did not desire to be left without spe-
cifc authority and no Congress to
which to turn. All these things point
toward an extra session, although a
way out may develop at the last mo-
