WASHINGTON, July 12.-The ex-
istence of the national defense coun
ell and all of its advisory commit
tees is at stake. Its fate probably
will be decided by the senate today.
II the senate agrees to the agri-
culture committees amendment TO
the food and liquor bill, forbidding
voluntary agents of the government
from buying supplies for the gov
eminent from concerns in which they
are interested. il is the belief Of ad
ministra ton leaders the national de-
Tense council will have to disband.
The council and its advisory COM
mittee is made up Of big business
men who have volunteered their ser
vices to aid the government in oh
tanning supplies and they are often
being placed in the position of deal
ing with concerns in which they are
officers or stockholders.
Pres't Wilson has appealed 10 the
senate TO modify the amendment. but
his letter to Sen. Mcclellan Of Ten
nessee. calling attention TO the prob
able disastrous effect on the national
defense council. has thus far met
with little response.
Sen. Wadsworth of New York has
warned the senate that the adoption
of the committee amendment will
mean the wrecking of the council.
His colleague, sen. Calder, has pre-
scented a way out of the tangle by
offering an amendment permitting
voluntary government agents 10 par
ticipate in contracts if they make
public declaration Of their intention.
Meanwhile democratic leaders
were still devoting every energy 10
working out some kind of a compro
mise 20 allay the opposition which
threatens TO defeat the bill.
