FIGHT EMBARGO BILL
Senator Reed Urges Prosecution
Rather Than Legislation.

Strong opposition to clothing the
President with blanket power to de
clare export embargoes has developed
in the Senate. The proposition. dis
cussed all day yesterday, was still
pending today, and 1t was uncertain
how long the debate on 1t would con
tinue.
The embargo proposition and the
press gag section are the foremost
subject OF controversy.
Senator Reed holds that prosecution
OF those cornering food or speculating
in ii will make embargoes unneces-
sary. Various other remedies for the
high prices OF foodstuffs were sug-
gested by other Senators.
Senator Lodge suggested an amend
ment limiting the scope OF the author
ity of the President to embargo ex-
ports so II could be exercised when
necessary for public safety" and
not for public welfare" This was
put into the bill.

for that day.

the hot potato mixture to the shells,
