Committee on Training Camp Activi-

chairman, is formulating plans to pro-

PRISON TERM
FOR FOOD BAR0NS
Amendment to Food Bill Makes
Hoarding a Felony.
PENALTY IS THREE YEARS
A>.T,-t In the Senate To Modify
Amendment Proves Futle-Poin-
d~xter Insists That II Go
Through As offered.

MISUNDERSTANDING, storage or
destruction Of food, fuel or other
necessaries Of life to limit supply or
affect prices would be felony under
an amendment to the government first
food bill adopted In the Senate with
out a recorded vote.
Several senators protested that the
privision was too drastic and would
prevent legitimate storing to equalize
markets, but all efforts to modify II
failed. When Senator Fall proposed
that the Federal Trade Commission
be empowered to decide whether stor.
ing is reasonable, Senator Poindexter,
author of the amendment, insisted that
any such change would weaken the eff.
fectiyeness Of the measure as a
weapon against spectators.
Violation of the section would be
punishable by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than six
months nor more than three years.
Holding by farmers or others of the
products of land cultivated by them
is exempted.
To Popularize Fish.
An amendment which would author
ize the Secretary of Commerce to take
steps to promote more general use of
fish to relieve the food stringency was
offered by Senator Fletcher. It would
permit the Secretary to catch and
market fish. A letter from Secretary
Red6eld in support of the proposal
was read.
Chairman Gore, of the Agriculture
Committee, asked that the Lever bill,
already passed by the House with the
amendments made by the committee,
be substituted for the similar measure
previously under consideration in the
Senate. This was done and will
facilitate final enactment.
cattlemen To Aid.
The second of the food bills, the
measure to authorize food admins
tration and price-fixing, was discussed
at an executive session of the House
Committee on Agriculture.
Representatives of Southwestern
cattle-growing interests called on Her
bert C. Hoover and pledged their sup
port to the food bills and to the food
administration to be created with Mr..
Hoover at its head.
Officers of the Wholesale Grocers'
Association also saw Mr.. Hoover and
promised support for the legislation.
The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States probably will take a
referendum vote of its membership on
the food legislation.

Therefore, we have a problem here d
anywhere from 100000 bushels d
grain to 1,O00,0O0,0OO bushels ha
must come from somewhere, HOcys
said.
Hoover said the bulk Of the brsi
burden is now on the United Shts
because the Allies crops are shot
millions of bushels.
In France alone, he said, the whst
crop is down 55 per cent, creating
deficiency of 150,0O0,O0O bushels. Al
former sources of cereals for Ia
Allies are now cut off, he said. Thea
were originally Russia, Roumall
Bulgaria, Australia, India and a
Argentine.
"The whole supplies of Russia, BI |
garia and Roumania are absolutely CT
off," Hoover said. Australia All
India are, in effect, cut off today "
cause the haul is three times the ts
tance of the Atlantic seabOard, h
tonnage required is trebled and th
danger just about doubled. The
suit is they have been unable duHtI
the last three months to get any ct
sequential amount of grain from ha
quarter.
Whether that lane will be reOpeia
is a matter of some difficulty, Son.
measures are being taken to reopenR
and it may be hoped that during u
next year some food supply may be@
tanned from Australia and India by@
use of sailing ships and by tranSshr
ping at some point like Buenos ARD
or Panama"
Hoover sounded the warning, hN
ever, that in supplying the "s'a
vacuum" across the water "pusR
tranquility in this country must 10
be upset" He said it is the bushes
of this nation that the Allies ';hil
not suck too much food out OIL @
own country"
In other words, he said, III Vep
low the normal course OF CONNIE"
to run loose, those people in clan%
Gus desire for food will strip our n''
markets in this situation"
Therefore" Hoover said, we %"
