LONDON, Oct 9.-The best summary
Of Great Britain's food control is given by
Lord Rhondda, the controller, in the first
issue Of the new fortnightly magazine he
has begun to publish under the title OF
The National Food Journal. Lord Rhondda
states:

prices Of those articles of prime neces-
hity over the supply of which | can oh
tain effective control ut all stages from
the producer down to the retailer. Such
prices will, as far a possible. be fixed
on the principle Of allowing a reasonable
pre-war profit 10 those engaged in the
production and distribution of the partic-
ular commodity. Indeed the policy will be
one in effect Of determining profits at
every stage, though il will take The form
Of fixing prices.
"Eyery effort will be made To prevent
/. speculation, and unnecessary middlemen
will be eliminated. Existing agencies. |
make n strong point of this-will be ultil-
lied for purposes of distribution under
license and control. and under the super
vision of local food controllers TO be APP
pointed by the local authorities.
lam anxious hat producer. seller and
consumer should realize that prices are not
being interfered with in a haphazard way
or without purpose. While | am primarily
concerned with the protection Of the ron
sumcrs, | have to see that the legitimate
interests of food producers and other
traders are safeguarded. and above all to
avoid a. far a practicable action which
may tend TO curtail the necessary sup
plies.
"lt l., OF course. impossible that in this
crisis supplies can he provided TO the same
extent Of which such regularity a. in time

understand that he must of necessity pay

available, and that the prices are not ex-
ccssive.
II am glad TO be lble TO say that the

Plies Is satisfactory, but | cannot urge

was rampant during the entire pro-

The famous firing squad Of Company

Poets and Coffee.

Poets have neglected coffee; partly
because poets are greatly under the in
fuence of tradition, partly because
coffee is hard word to find a rhyme
for; one had hoped that vers libres
would give scope to coffee lovers. But
the vers-librettisti and vers-librettlstae

poetry for the eye and the ear rather
than for the intelligence) have been
equally negligent. Philosophers do
not care for breakfast. Kant took
pipe and stroll for his morning meal,
and If we were to inquire into the
habits of the extremely modern poets
we should be likely to find that they
are equally reckless Of breakfast. I
suspect them Of cruel or mutton
broth.
To return, as have said, no poet
has celebrated coffee. Shakespeare
came too soon. Pope has q mere ref
erence:
Coffee, which makes the politician WIS.,.

FOR A FREE IRELAND.
Resolution Adopted by Convention Of
the Friends of Irish Freedom,
Held in San Francisco.

Resolutions favoring the political
independence of Ireland were passed
Sunday at the state convention of the
Friends of Irish Freedom, which was
held at the Palace Hotel in San Fran
cisco, with several hundred members
in attendance.
The Rev. P. G. Yorke made the
principal address, in which he made
strong plea for Ireland's rights as a
separate nation. He said:
There exists in some quarters in
this country, even among men who
are friendly toward Ireland, the idea
that the Irish claims to nationality
are based upon the wrongs Ireland
has suffered from England. Nothing
could be further from the truth. No
great cause is built ON hatred, and the
disagreement of Ireland was at times
only little worse than the misgov-
eminent of England herself The
claim Of Ireland is based upon the
natural and historic fact that she is a
separate nation. There is no need to
elaborate the truth that separate ma
lions are entitled to political indepen-
dence.
Following this the resolution was
unanimously passed. It reads as fol-
lows:
We submit that the principles of
democracy, and the inalienable
rights of all peoples to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness should
be made to apply to Ireland, and that
the continued denial of self-govern.
ment to ireland is repugnant to the
great principles for which this country
is fighting.
Los Angeles was chosen for the
next years convention, and the meet
ing closed with a banquet at the
Palace.
The following officers were elected:
