FOOD BILL, PASSED
SATURDAY, TO HIT
CONFERENCE TRAIL.
ALL is NOT WELL WITH LEGlS-
lATION- CHANGES ARE GER
TAIN BEFORE MEASURE BE.
COMES A LAW.

Washington, July 23-The food bill
as il has gone thru the Senate vii
never become a law. The differences
are too vast, the feeling that has beer
engendered is too bitter for reconcile
alton.
The House will not accept the pro
vision establishing a congressional
committee 10 review the acts of the
executives and the advisory board. tc
sit in the councils of national defense
and demand an explanation of con
tracts and accounting of the millions
as they are paid out.
Ii is even prophesied that if the
bill finally goes up to the President
for signature with this provision,
which practically takes the conduct
of the war away from the executive,
he will veto the whole bill rather
than accept what Lincoln called the
bane of his life during the civil war,
There is fair probability that in
the face of the united House deter
minaton against such a committee
and the positive opposition Of the
President the Senate conferees will
agree to eliminating this startling
measure. In fact, the composition Of
the Senate conference committee sug-
gests this strongly.
As originally intended, there were
to have been five cOnferees from each
house The Senate's representatives
were to have been Gore, of Oklahoma,
and Kenyon, of Iowa, both of whom
voted for the congressional war conn-
ell, and Chamberlain, Smith, of South
Carolina and Warren, of Wyoming
who stood with the President against
it, To the five have been added two
more, H0ke Smith, of Georgia, and
Page, of Vermont, who were also
against the board of review So that
the Senate conference delegates now
number five who opposed the amend
ment of two who voted for it.
Ultimately, OF courses, there must
be some agreement over the food bill,
and despite the fact that the Senate
voted sixty to twenty-six in favor of
putting this check on the President
and his appointees. it seems probable
that this will be offered up on the
altar OF peace, and will not appear in
the bill that comes out of the con
ference committee
One of the things the House will
have to trade for the elimination of
sthe6e congressional control hoard will
DC the supremacy OF Herbert G. Hoo
yer In the food administration. AL
ready progress has been made in
bringing the influential members Of
the House around to this way of
thinking.
The President is represented as
having reluctantly agreed to the
board of three to handle food mat
tiers when Martin and Simmons, two
OF his own stanch supporters, went
to him with the information that the
Senate would never agree to bill
that reposed the whole authority in
Hooyer's hands.
