GOVERNMENT MAY
BE- CENTRALIZED
Washington Opinion Is That
Change Is Imperative
For U. S.

America may have to centralize her
Government further for war times. just
as England and France have done.
The reason for this. IN the view OF
many here. is that at present many ad-
ministrative duties are overlapping-ii
not actually conflicting.
The food situation is a striking ex-
ample OF the problem before the Gov
ernment.
Three distinct agencies are discussing
II. or wanting to probe 1t to the bottom
the Agriculture Department. the Fed
eral Trade Commission, and the Ma
tional Council of Defense.
And that there may be just a trace
OF friction in these three divergent ele-
ments was indicated by the remark of
Secretary Of Agriculture Houston when
asked IL Herbert c. Hoover. acting for
the National Council. would be in
charge OF food investigation.
why, / thought the Secretary Of Ag-
riculture would be in charge" Houston
replied.
In other words. many here have
thought that HooverNwas to have a sort
OF food dictatorship-but he won't II
Houston's ideas are correct
In the circumstances. there Is talk
here today that something may have TO
be done TO give a broader central con-
trol-for the war only. France. a great
republic. finds herself highly central
lied and the upshot in this country may
be the same.

OPPOSES FREIGHT INCREASE
Chamber Of Commerce Man Fights
Straiuht is Per Cent Raise.

Opposition TO the proposed 10 per
cent Increase in freight rates was, ex-
pressed by A. NJ. Fisher, chairman OF
the committee on transportation OF
the Washington Chamber OF Com
merce, before the Interstate Com
merce Commission at the rate hear
ings yesterday, and the substitution
of a specific increase on each rate
per 100 pounds or fraction thereof,
was urged.
"a percentage increase in rates will
tend to increase the short haul busi-
ness OF the railroads." Mr.. Fisher de
clared, land with IL will aggravate
congestion far beyond its present diff
ficulties.
"a percentage increase in rates will
require a realignment OF trade bound
aries because of the fact that the eX-
isting equilibrium OF competitive trade
conditions will be thoroughly upset.
IAN increase in gross revenue may
be granted" Mr.. Fisher continued
without disturbing competitive COM
merical conditions and which will be
of distinct benefit to the railroads.
My suggestion is that specific amount
increase be allowed on each rate per
100 pounds or its equivalent. Then II
a shipper new pays 10 cents he will
pay IL cents; IL he pays so cents now,
he will tAen pay 81 cents. provided
you granted an increase OF but 1 cent
Such an increase would apply to each
100 pounds or fraction thereof"
An increase of only cent a hun
dred pounds. Mr.. Fisher estimated.
would produce an annual revenue of
5000, ,OOO, 900.

SENATE APPROVES
RIGID CENSORSHIP
Drastic Provisions Regarding
Suppression of News Put in
Espionage Bill.

Drastic provisions enabling the
Government practically to suppress
publication of all news relating to the
in the dark as to the condition of
the armed forces have been put into
the espionage bill by the Senate.
The censorship provisions of this
bill. which have been the subject OF
, prolonged debate, were to some ex-
tent modified, but they were never
theless retained in form sufficiently
severe to make 1t possible for the
Government not simply to veil COM
pletely all movements or operations
of troops or war craft OF strategic
value to the enemy. but all facts re-
specting food. clothing, equipment.
morale and general conditions of the
armed forces.
VIII Block Scandals.
Strict enforcement of the proposed
law will make it impossible to air any
future embalmed beef scandals. any
scandals about typhoid-infested
camps or anything of the sort.
The section drew from Senators on
both sides of the chamber comments
AIdl III lEg 70 lhC
German tyranny another tyranny
was being established at home.
Senator Thomas was defeated in an
effort to strike out the section. Sena-
tor Cummins failed by a close vote
to get his substitute adopted. Sena-
tor Reed served notice on the Senate
that a new and dangerous doctrine
was being advanced by some Sena-
tors, that in tipe of war the Constitu-
tion could be overridden.
The effect of the protests was to
bring about some alterations in the
section. One allegation by Senator
Hitchcock provides for reasonable"
regulations to be promulgated by the
President. In the original draft there
was no restriction of this kind. Sena-
tor Fletcher objected to use OF the
word reasonable"
Text of SectIoni
The text OF the section as amended
is as follows:
whoever, in time of war. in viola
tion of reasonable regulations 10 be
prescribed by the President, which he
Is hereby authorized to make and pro-
mulgate. shall publish any intorma-
tion with respect to the movement,
numbers, description, condition or dis
position OF any OF Ine dEInco lOICes'
ships, aircraft. or war materials of the
United States, or with respect to the
plans of conduct of any naval or mill
tary operations, or with respect to
any works or measures undertaken
for or connected with. or intended
for the fortification or defense of any
place, or any other information relat-
ing to the public defense calculated
to be useful to the enemy, shall be
punished by a fine of rot more than
$4,000 or by imprisonment for not
more than ten years or by both such
fine and imprisonment; provided, that
nothing in this section shall be con-
strued to limit or restrict, nor shall
any regulation herein provided for
limit or restrict any discussion. COM
ment, or criticism of the acts or poll
cIes OF the Government, or its repre-
sentatives or the publication of the
same"
The espionage bill has not yet been
disposed of. A number of important
features remain TO be considered. II
is planned, however, to lay the bill
aside for the present. in order TO give
the conscription bill the right OF way.
