in the food legislation at every phase.
The conference lasted more than an
hour. President Wilson took the SEN
ators into his confidence, telling them
that the situation before the country |
and as it affected the allies would be /
grave, unless ample power were given /
bv congress to adequately regulate the |
country : food supply. This, he said |
must be done at once. The President cx
pressed concern over the future unless
power to handle the situation as cmer
gcncv requires.
Mr.. Wilson felt that farmers ought to
be encouraged to produce the biggest
crop the country has seen and that one
way to stimulate this was to give the
government the means to see that the
farmer got the most advantageous price
for his effort This meant that there
ought to be the fixing Of minimum
price for agricultural products, a pro
vision that is contained in the Lever
bill now in joint conference. The Pres
lident wanted the bill brought out as
soon as possible and acted ON. One of
| the features Of the bill is the provision
/ for food administrators.
The President urged the senator's that
/ a food administrators is needed to sue
Icessfully carry out the work Of food
control, and he hoped the opposition
/ felt in the senate against it would be
dissipated. lie wanted the senators to
use every influence to have the remain
