fered. however, still remains to be voted upon.
 The House judiciary committee agreed tonight on draft of an espionage bill similar to the one before the Senate, but stripped of many of the features to which there had been objection
 The objectionable provision designed to prohibit conveying information prohibited under the bill by discussion, comment or criticism is eliminated
 Limits on the publication of informa- tion regarding the national defense would be placed by this paragraph:
 When and during the period that the United States is at war, or during any national emergency threatening war. the President may, by proclamation declare the existence of such a war or emergency and prohibit until terminated the pub fishing CT communicating of or the at tempting to publish or communicate, any information relating to the national de- fense which. in his opinion, is of such character that it is or might be use- ful to the enemy. Whoever violates any such prohibition shall be punished by a fine of not more than s1oo0O or impris- oned for a period not to exceed 10 years, or be both fined and imprisoned
 Agreement on the measure was reached after a long session this afternoon. Chairman Webb was authorized to put the bill in final shape for reporting to the House

Food Prices May Be FixedbyGouernn1ent
 While War Continues

Washington, April 19.-Legislation to give the government firm grasp on food control will be introduced in Congress tomorrow
 Power will be asked for the government not only to supervise production but to deal with distribution to insure fair supply of food to every part of the coun- try at reasonable prices
 Details of the administration plan have not become known, but it is believed actual price-fixing may have a place in laws to be asked. and that authority will be requested to establish a virtual food dictatorship if necessary.
 The food situation, officials realize. pre- sents one of the most serious problems the country will have to meet during the war. The United States faces feeding not only it's own population on a small food reserve and poor crop prospects. but as far as possible. too, the allies. Admin toward convincing the country of the need for greater production and for rigid food economies.
 The department of agriculture is build ing up an organization of state and county boards through which to reach both producer and consumer in every cor ner of the country.
 As outlined today by MT. Houston, the department of agricuture's plans for meeting the food problem contemplate a central organization in the department with state and county branches The d a. pertinent has personnel of 17,000 persons

Right of Criticism or GouernmentDuringW War
 Fought For n Senate

Washington, April 1S-Another day of lively discussion in the Senate of the es- pionage bill with interest centered on press censorship cleared the way for dis age and censorship features. Further protracted debate is promised on a sec ton authorizing the President to declare war export embargoes.
 Leaders are endeavoring to hasten the action on the bill so that the army meas ure with it's draft provision may be taken up.
 Several senators today offered amend ments to the espionage clause to make less drastic it's restrictions upon indi- vidual citizens and the press. Senators Borah, Johnson of California, and others vigorously attacked this feature, assert ing it strikes dangerously at rights of free speech and free press. Others both democrats and republicans insisted that during war private rights must yield to necessities of national defense.

'T welcome the inquiry of your letter of April 19 because I have realized the truth of what you say from my own observations, name 1y, that what is meant to be un- derstoOd by the seIectiye draft is not generally understood through out the country.
 PROCESS IS CLEAR
 "The process of the draft is, think. very clearly set forth in the bill drafted by the war de- pertinent and which I so earnest 1y hope that Congress will adopt, but it is worth while to state the Idea which underlies the bill a Iit- tie more fully.
 CT took occasion the other day in an address to the people of the country to point out the many forms of patriotic service that were open to them and to empha- size the 1act mat the military part of the service was by no means the only part and, perhaps, all things considered, not the most vital part. Our object fs mobili- zatiOn of all the productive and ac- tive forces of the nation and their development to the highest point of cooperation and effect and effi- cieney, and the idea of selective draft is that those should be chosen for service SB the nrmy who can be most readily spared from the prosecution of the other activities which the country must engage fin and to which it must devote a great deal of it's best en- crgy and capacity.

America Must Keep At Work During War;" Says Committee on Public h. formation
STATES, COUNTIES AND CITIES MUST NOT STOP PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT
Industries Should Not Les sen Prosperity by Curtail- ing Keep at Work and Wait For CalP' Is Slogan

W a s hin gton, April 19. Warning to the nation against real danger in hysterical and ill-advised economy and inter- ference with normal pursuits of the people is given by Howard E. Coffin of the advisory com mission of the council of na- tional defense, in a statement made public tonight as the first enterprise of the govern ment's new committee on pub lie information.
 MT. Coffin deplores the fact that conditions of unemployment and closed factories should arise as a re- suit of indiscriminate efforts, public and private, toward war time ecoao- mics.
 "After nearly three years of refusal to take the European war and it's les sons seriously" Mr. Coffin said, Eve suddenly launched forth in most fe- verish activity to save the country overnight.
 Because of an impending and possible shortage of foodstuffs we have hysterical demands for economy in every line of hu- man endeavor. Waste is bad, but an un- discriminating economy is worse
 OFFICIALS ARE BLAMED
 Some states and municipalities are stopping road building. General business is being slowed down. savings are being Withdrawn from the banks; reports show that some people have begun to hoard food supplies and thousands of workers ployment.
 ''All this is wrong.
 "Nonemployment and closed factories, brought about by the fitful and ill ad- vised campaigns for public and private economy will prove a veritable founda- tion of quick sand for the serious work we have at hand.
 sIt is true the President has
 said this is a time to correct our
 habits of wastefuIness. Certainly.
 But the keynote of his message to
 the people was this paragraph:
 sTt is evident to every thinking
 man that our industries on the
 farm, in the shipyards, in the
 mines. in the factories. must be
 made more prolific and more effi-
 cient.'
 NEED MORE BUSINESS
 Business Impressions are always bad, but doubly so when we have fight on our hands. The declaration of war can have no real evil effect on business We need more business. not less. There IS real danger in hysteria. lndiscrminate economy will be ruinous.
 Many firms are hestating to close or dinary business contracts because of a desire to hold capacity open to meet pos- sible early government.

 UNIVERSAL OBLIGATION
 "The principle of the seIective draft. in short, has at it's heart this idea, that there is a universal obligation to serve and that pub lie authority should choose those upon whom the obligation of mill ftary service shall rest, and also in a sense choose those who shall do the rest of the nations work. The bill, if adopted, will do more, I be- Iieve, than any other single instru- mentality to create the impression of universal service in the army and out of it, and if properly ad- ministered will be great source of stimulation.
