BRYCE MAKES KNOWN
PEACE LEAGUE PLAN
Scheme Of British Statesman Almost
Identical With That Of American
League TO Enforce Peace But Goes
Step Further.

U
London, April "Details of what is
known as the Bryce scheme" for a
league to enforce peace were given out
by Lord Bryce, former British am
bassador at Washington. In letter
accompanying his statement Lord
Bryce says the plan was drawn up by
himself and committee of prominent
Englishmen two years ago, but had
not been made public previously be-
cause "the time for publication did not
seem to have arrived" The plan ap-
parently antedates the proposal adj
vocated by former President Taft and
endorsed by President Wilson. Lord
Bryce sayS:
Ehs sentaecs Of the Uuited States
into fk9 YAr max kes It desirable that
ithe American League 10 Enforce Peace
should be respond ed TO by public opin-
ion here. II therefore venture to Ilay
before you scheme almost identical
with the American scheme.
"The scheme, OF course, is tentative,
but taken with the American scheme it
may help to draw public opinion to
this important subject. Obviously no
practical steps can be taken until after
the war but the idea is one the public
may we'll consider"
Tho Bryce plan as outlined follows
closely the lines of the American pro-
posal but goes a step further in the
direct common enforcement of de-
cision and providing for collective
action against any non member nation
which refuses arbitration or concilia-
ton.

London, April 12-The food situation

in Germany. according to the Berlin
Vorwaerts as quoted in an Amsterdam
dispatch to the Central News:
Notwithstanding all the big events,
the paper says. "the new food regula-
tions which are to be introduced on
April Is form the exclusive topic of
discussion. The fateful day approaches
and tension becomes greater. The
dinsinution in the bread rations forms
serious difficulties for the entire popu-
lation.'
[Some weeks ago the German news
papers announced that the bread
ration would be reduced by one-fourth
beginning April Is owing to the
scarcity OF wheat. 1t was stated that
the potato ration would be continued
at FIVE pounds weekly and that 25o
grammes weekly would be added to the
meat rations1

that most of the great wars in Europe
in the past have been waged for
dynasty, aggrandizement and con-
quest.
Early in the war; Mr.. Lloyd George
continued. the United States did not
comprehend what had been endured
in Europe for years from the military

Des Moines, April 12.-Governor w.
L. Harding today sent letter to Frank
Warner, of Des Moines. secretary OF
the Iowa State Bankers Association,
asking him to communicate with all
members of that organization asking
them to cooperate with the farmers
in an effort to obtain farm laborers for

"Around every town there are men
who would be able to help with the
farm work if the people were properly
stirred up the letter said. Let each
banker make himself a committee of
one to see to it that every community
is organized"
The commission of twelve appointed

TO CURB WAR spEcuLAroRs.
Government To Check High Prices z,
acted by Munitions Makers.

Special to Times Republican.
Washington, April 12.-It has been
brought very pointedly torthe attention
Of manufacturers that congress has
armed the president with legislative
authority to check excessive profit TAX
ing by war spectators.
The first demonstration of this was
given the other day, when the E.. w.
private company that manufactures
long range torpedoes for the navy, was
forced to cut $500 from its bid for
each torpedo on a contract large
enough to save the government two
million and quarter dollars on this
ono order, by threat Of the navy de-
partment to invoke the law giving the
government the right to. take over the
Bliss plant.
Since then manufacturers with gov
ernment contracts have been looking
into this law, which gives the presi-
dent in time Of war authority to take
possession Of such plants, and it has
been found that the law Is broad
enough to arm the government with
authority to requisition and take over
factory whether II has a government
contract or not.
This law may arm the government
with a weapon to prevent unjustified
price increases in necessities, whether
such necessities are those classed as
war materials or necessities of the
civilian population.
Congressman Good has called public
attention to the excessive profits in
war materials. and has voiced a de-
mand that these profits be curtailed.
Mr.. Good says that some private con-
Germs are charging three times more
than government arsenals for certain
war material ~
Mr.. Good mentioned specifically linz
bers for AT Inch field guns which are
manufactured for $500 at the Rock
Island arsenal, but Tor which a steel
company charges the army $500. 4.
There are indications that congress
Is prepared to pass more legislation. II
needed, to give the government the
right to hold check rein on rising
prices. not only Of war munid lions. but
on foodstunsS clothing, shoes and other
necessities
"The man who holds up the govern
ment at this time" Congressman Good
said In giving voice to the prevail-
ing feeling in cpngress, js no better
than the man who follows In the path
Of devastation by storm to loot prop
erty He should he treated as he de-
serves. E4orbitant rofits must be cut
