whether the ground is stll sinking,

CONTROL OVER EXPORTS
NOW IN BOARDS HANDS
President Gives Large Powers to
Body Headed by Vance
Mccormick.

President Wilson has given control
Of exports. hitherto administered by
the Department of Commerce, te the
exports administrative board. of which
Vance Mccormick is chairman. The
purpose of the change. which becomes
effective Monday. Is to simplify pro-
ccdure in granting export licenses.
The administrative board has on It.
besides Mr.. Mccormick. who repre-
sents the State Department. Alonzo E.
Taylor, representing the Department
of Agriculture; T. y. Jones, represent
ing the Department Of Commerce, and
John 3. White, representing the food
administration.
The change gives unusual powers to
the administrative board. which was
to the exports council. comprising the
Secretaries of State. Commerce and
Agriculture and the food admins
traitor. The Presidents order will
serve to make the exports council real
~ the advisory body.
Since the export control provision of
the espionage act was put into opera
ton. more than month ago. the ad
ministratiye board has done much of
the work of shaping an export policy.
Its recommendations have gone to the
President. who, in turn, directed the
Department Of Commerce to admins
ter regulations drawn from time to
time. Members of the administrative
board II is said, have considered this
system too cumbersome, and they sug-
gested that the board itself carry out
the regulations and issue licenses. The
suggestion was put UP to the exports
council, which approved It unanimously.
