purchasing power of virtually every
dollar of the billions to be loaned the
allies by this government and the ad.

Draft Of the proposed agreement
has been left to Secretary McAdoo
who already has held a number of
conferences with foreign envoys on
the subject. Great Britain, France
and Italy are understood to have sig
nified their desire to enter such an
agreement. and other entente govern
ments are likely to assume the same
attitude. st.
Discussion of the proposed agree
ment has reached O stage where the
chief beneficiaries of the huge Amer
lean loan have agreed that it would
be to the interest OF all concerned
to eliminate absolutely competition
among themselves for American prod
ucts. and have signified their readi-
ness to pledge themselves to do so.
The agreement. when drafted. would
have FOR it's aim the attainment of
maximum efficiency. both for the al
lies and the American government. for
every dollar spent in this country for
war purposes. "
The commission when created
would be purchasing agency for ali

There is little doubt that virtually

THE INsISTENT CALL FOR GREAT MEN

One of the chief glories of our American republic
is that whenever a crisis has called for a real man, the
real man has been ready.
Let us hope that in the tremendous work of food
administration now upon the country Herbert c. Hoover
will prove to be the right man in the right place. His
accomplishments in Belgium lead to the conviction that
he is the right man.
In his work OF controlling the prices, distribution
and consumption of foodstuffs Mr.. Hoover has a task
before which the bravest soul in the land might
quail. In this work he will be treading on so many
intimate personal privileges that he is certain to be the
center of turmoil from the start.
The real work to be done. as Mr.. Hoover sees it,
is to prevent waste, boarding and speculation in food.
There are four great branches of the work as out
lined by the food administrator: First is the control
of certain critical commodities on normal lines and
through ordinary distributing agencies; second, CO.
operation through state administrations in the solution
of local problems; third, enlistment of the aid Of the
women in the country to minimize waste, and fourth,
