DELEGATION FINDS PRESIDENT
IN FULL ACCORD WITH VIEWS
AND ASKS THAT HE INSIST
ON ACTION BY CONGRESS-.
CONTROL IS ESSENTIAL
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Regulatory Bill Now Before Congress-
Makes President Dictator, Permit
ting Government to Seize All
SuppIies-Prohibition Amend
ment FavorabIy Reported.

Washington, June 13.-Early enact.
ment of food legislation will be insist
ed upon by the administration, it was,
made clear after a delegation of labor
leaders and congressman called on,
President Wilson asking that he 60
before Congress to urge action on the
administration hills.
Samuel Gompers, who headed the.
labor delegation, said afterward that
the President was in full accord with
the opinion of labor leaders that food
control is essential at the earliest pos
sible moment.
No statement was made concerning
the Presidents intention concerning
an address to Congress.
Bill Held in Conference.
The first food bill, designed to stim-
ulate production, has passed both
houses, but is held up in conference.
The second or regulatory bill has been
reported by the House agriculture
committee after the provision giving
prices had been eliminated. The ad-
m~inistration, it is understood, be-
lieves that the purpose of this clause
can be accomplished under the hoard
ing clause. The minimum price fea-
ture for farm products was retained.
President as Food Dictator.
The regulatory bill, as reported,
makes the President food dictator with
power to authorize some agency to
carry out provisions Of the law. The,
intention is to create a food admins
tration with Herbert c. Hoover as it's.
head.
The measure gives the widest pow
ers, and would permit government op-
GRAFTON, if necessary, of food produc-
ing plants, storage houses and coal
mines. The government would pur-.
chase and distribute food supplies if
it became necessary.
Prohibition Separate Issue.
The House committee left in a pro-
vision authorizing the President to.
limit or prohibit use of %foodstuffs in
the manufacture Of alcoholic liquors,
but the Senate agriculture committee
voted to make prohibition a separate
issue and to combine into a new meas
ure the many prohibition amendments
to the Senate food bills.
The Senate judiciary committee
meanwhile reported favorably a reso-
luton in favor Of a national prohibit
ton constitutional amendment. The
labor leaders told the President that
wages have been virtually stationary
For several years, while food costs had
steadily mounted and that legislation
is necessary to meet the situation.
The workingman, they declared, is
underfed and the continuance Of this
condition much longer is sure to lead
to discomfort and injury.

Note Expresses Hearty A%cceptation
and Approval of Principles Laid
Down by President Wilson in
His Historic War Message
to Congress.

London, June 13.-1n reply to the
Russian governments request for a
statement of the British war aims,
the British government has forwarded
to P%etrograd a note in which it eX.
presses hearty acceptation and ap.
prevail of the principles which Presi'
dent Wilson laid down in his historic
messagesto Congress.
Text of Note.
Following is the text of Great Brit.
aims note:
I'm the proclamation to the Russian
people enclosed with the note it is
said that free Russia does not purpose
to dominate other peoples or take
from them their national patrimony.
or forcibly occupy foreign territory
In this sentiment the British govern
ment heartily concurs. They did not
enter the war as a var Of conquest;
they are not continuing it for such
object. Their purpose at the outset
was for international engagements
To those objects have now been add,
ed that of liberating populations op'
pressed by alien tyranny.
They heartily rejoice. therefore
that free Russia has announced her
intention of liberating Poland, not
only Poland ruled by the old Russian
a%utocracy, but equally that within the
dominion of the Germanic empires
In this enterprise the British democ
racy wish Russia godspeed.
Endorses Stand of U. s.
Beyond everything we must seek
such settlement as will secure the
happiness and contentment of peoples
and take away all legitimate causes
for future war.
THE British government heartily
join with their Russian allies in theil
acceptance and approval of the prin
ciples laid down by President Wilson
in his historic message to the Ameri
a Congress. These are the aim:
on which the British peoples are fight
ing. These are the principles b,
which their war policy is and will be
guided.
THE British government believe
that, broadly speaking, the agree
ments they have made from time t.
time with their allies are conformable
to these standards, but if the Russian
government so desires they are quie
ready with their allies to examine
and, if need be, to revise these agree
ments."

cludes this war must be conceived and
executed for that purpose.
Wrongs must first be righted and
then adequate safeguards must be Gre
ated to prevent this being committed
again. We ought not to consider rem
edies merely because they have a
pleasing and sonorous sound.
practical questions can be settled
only by practical means. Phrases will
not achieve the result. Effective read
justments will, and whatever readjust-
ments are necessary must be made.
But they must follow a principle and
that principle is plain.
Worlds Future Peace Is Aim.
mo people must be forced under
sovereignty under which it does not
wish to live. No territory must
change hands except for the purpose
of securing for those who inhabit it a
fair chance of life and liberty. No in
IDENTITIES must be insisted on except
those that constitute payment for man.
ifest wrongs done. No readjustments
of power must be made except such
as will tend to secure the future peace
of the world and tho future welfare
and happiness of it's peoples.
"And then the free peoples of the
world must draw together in some
common government, some genuine
and practical cooperation that will, in
effect, combine their force to secure
peace and justice in the dealing of ma
lions with one another.
""The brotherhood of mankind must
no longer be a fair but empty phrase.
1T must be given a structure of
force and reality. The nations must
realize their common life and effect
a workable partnership to secure that
life against the aggressions of auto
cratic and self-pleasing powers.
Pour Out Blood for Liberty.
For these things we can afford to
pour out our blood and treasure. For
these are the things we have always
protested to desire, and unless we
pour out blood and treasure now and
succeed, we may never be able to
unite or show conquering force again
in the great aus of human liberty.
1.-THE day has come to conquer or
submit. If the forces of antocracy can
divide US, they will overcome US; if
we stand together, victory is certain
and the liberty which victory will Sc.
cure. We can afford to be generous,
but we cannot afford then or now to
be weak or omit any single guarantee
Of justice and security"
