GOVERNMENT AT.
WORK ON SOLUTION.
OF FOOD PROBLEM
Survey to Be Made as Soon
as the Drastic Bill Advo-
Gated by the President Is
Passed.

Washington, May 6.--A nation wide
food survey will be the first step taken
by the government after congress
passes the drastic food control bill ad-
vocated by President Wilson.
The work will fall under the COM
bined direction Of the department of
agriculture and Council of National
Defense.
1t will be probably personally by
Herbert c. Hoover. who has Just ar
rived in Washington to assist the gov
eminent in systematizing the whole
work Of food production and distribu-
tion.
TO COMPILE ESTIMATE.
The government will first determine
accurately the amount Of reserve food
products now in stock where they are
located and how they can be most ef-
fectually distributed. It Is the inteu-
ton to compile an accurate estimate
of the probable production and con-
sumption of crops In the current year
by sections.
On the results of these surveys will
depend largely whether the president
will utilize many OF the drastic pow
ers given him, such as the one to cut
off entirely or diminish the supply of
grain to brewers and distillers.
AWAITS ACTION By CONGRESS.
Machinery for accomplishing the So
luton of the food problem has been
completed and awaits only action by
congress to be set in motion.
1t will take three courses. the first
to increase production. the second u
conserve the food supply and prevent
waste, and the third designed to reg
ulate production, transportation and
including vigorous mea-
sures to prevent speculation. 1t Is the
intention of congress to
protect both producer and consumer
from the Spectator.
