Water Beer, Save
Grain, Is Hoover S
Advice to Brewers
Those Partial to Foaming Bowl
Would Still Get Beverage,
but a Little Weaker
tFrom The Tribune Bureau


Washington, May 30.-"Water your
beer" is the advice of Food Admins
traitor Hoover, not to the drinkers of
the country, nor even the bartenders,
but to the brewers.
By scaling down the amount OF
grain used in brewing, Mr.. Hoover has
told Senators in discussing the food
situation. to about one-half what is
now used, the workingman and the
large foreign population in some parts
Of the country would not be deprived
4of their favorite beverage. They would
merely get weaker beer, with a big re-
sulting saving in the grain consump-
ton by the breweries.
Mr.. Hoover told Senators who did
not want TO see all brewing put to an
end during the war, and who feared
that this might lead to increased
whiskey drinking throughout the coun-
try. that if he had his way he would
compel all brewers to make this cus
in the amount Of grain consumed,
though they need not reduce their
output Of liquid. The Food Admins
traitor, Senators declared, saw the
danger of abruptly stopping brewing.
especially because Of the large stocks
of distilled liquor in the country, which
no food conservation programme, nat
urally, could affect.
English brewers, Mr.. Hoover said, are
now producing about as many barrels
OF beer as ever, but they are using
only one-half Of the grain formerly
used. and there has been no great
amount Of dissatisfaction as result OF
tho cheaper grade Of beer.

Press Gag Foes
Have a Majority
Of 16 in Senate
Poll Shows Section Would
Be Defeated if Bill Was
Voted On To-day
rFrorn Tho Tribune Bursaul

Washington, May 3O.-A poll of the
Senate just completed shows that if a
vote were taken tomorrow in the up
per House on approving the censorship
section in the espionage bill, as agreed
on by the conferrees of the two Houses,
it would be defeated by majority of
is, which is an increase of two over
the majority by which the Senate
struck out the censorship section sew
eral weeks ago.
Members of the House who have
been inclined to give the President the
press gag he wants, despite their per-
sonal opposition TO a censorship, will
be informed of the attitude OF the
Senate before the House reaches vote
tomorrow on the conference report.
Following the announcement Of
Chairman Webb, of the House Judiciary
Committee, the report will be brought
up tomorrow and an attempt made to
have it approved before adjournment.
Il is the confident belief Of friends of
free speech that the report will be
promptly beaten by decisive majority
and the bill sent back to conference,
with instructions that the censorship
section be eliminated.
Incidentally there is growing irrita-
tion not only in the House, but
throughout Washington. at the insist
ence of the Department of Justice for
the press gag. Some big Administra-
tion leaders believe that if it were not
for Attorney General Gregory and the
"censors," as the Bureau of Informa-
tion is called, the President would not
be so insistent. Meantime, other sec
tions of the highly important, espionage
bill have failed TO pass. If they had
been on the statute books a week ago,
il is pointed out, as they surely would
be if il had not been for the fight to
gag the press, there would now be
much more drastic laws for the punish
ment Of the men who arc fomenting
trouble with regard to the draft regis.
tration.
Also tho President would already
have the power to lay embargoes, which
might be Of enormous value at any mo-
ment in the present international sit
uation. The Department Of Justice
would have much more stringent laws
to use against agitators who. whether
pro-German or not, are serving the
purposes of Germany in a score of
ways.
But all these important questions
have virtually been sidetracked in an
effort 10 force through a censorship
which both houses Of Congress have
shown BY record votes that they do
not want. The conferrees of both
houses, all being in favor of the most
drastic form Of censorship, have
backed and filed in an effort to draft
a gag law which could command enough
votes TO be sure of passage.
IL the House approves the espionage
bill as il is reported by the conferrees

other important provisions Of the bill.

French Socialists Go
To Stockholm to Guard
Russians from Germans

Paris, May 30.-The sudden concilia-
tion of the different factions of the
French Socialist party on the question
OF attending the Stockholm conference,
which recently was decided in the affirm
stive, is explained by we'll informed
persons as resulting from the eonvic-
tion reached by the majority previously
hostile that 70 would be inadvsable TO
leave the Russian Socialists alone with
the German delegates.
The French Socialists have been told
that il is necessary for the Russian So
cislists 20 prove to the Russian army
that a sincere effort he's been made
toward securing peace. Hence, accord
ing 20 this view, Russia must be repre-
sented al Stockholm. where the German
delegates will be given a chance TO de-
clare themselves categorically, after
which the army will be able to perceive
whether the programme of the German
Socialists is acceptable and capable of
realization.
Il was on the supposition that the
Russians would certainly be represent
ed, aud on the theory that IL would be
fer better If they were joined by the
delegates of the other Entente coun-
tries. IL is explained, that the more
moderate faction Of the French Social
lists Joined the extremists and decided
on representation at Stockholm.
Not a Peace Conference
II is pointed out that the Stockholm
conference is in no sense peace con-
ference, being nothing more than ten
tative gathering of the Socialists of bel
ligerent countries 20 consider questions
proposed and decide whether real
peace conference might be fruitful.
Consequently no French Socialist going
20 Stockholm is committed by that fact
10 any peace movement, IL Is declared.
There is no indication as yet whether
the French delegates will obtain pass
ports, but in view Of the situation as
now outlined il appears to be the view
that their presence there would be not
so Objectionable as IL was at first re-
garded in some quarters.
The French government will be asked
In both the Chamber Of Deputies and
the Senate this week as 70 its attitude
toward the attendance Of French dele
gates az the Stockholm conference and
whether passports viii be issued to
tuch delegates.
