DICTATORSHIP To
CONTROL FOOD IS
NOW PROBABILITY
Government Recognizes That
America Not Only Must
Feed Her Own People but
Allies Also. .

Washington, April 19.-Legislation
| to give the government a firm grasp
on food control will be introduced in
| congress tomorrow
| Power will be asked for the govern
ment not only to supervise production,
| but to deal with distribution to insure
fair supply of food to every part of
| the country. at reasonable prices.
Details of the administration plan
have not become known, but it is be-
| lieved actual price-fixing may have a
place in laws to be asked, and that au-
thority will be requested to establish
virtual food dictatorship if that be-
| comes necessary.
The food situation, officials realize,
presents one of the most serious prob
lens that the country will have to
meet during the war.
The United States faces feeding not
only it's own population on a small
food reserve and poor crop prospects,
but supplying as far as possible the
allies. Administration heads are
bending every effort towards convinc-
ing the country of the need for greater
production and for rigid food econo-
omies.
The department of agriculture ,s
building up an organization of state
and county boards through which to
reach both producer and consumer in
every corner of the country.
Secretary Houston today named
R. A. Pearson, president Of the Iowa
State College of Agriculture to serve
Indefinitely as assistant secretary of
agriculture. At the same time he in
vited the heads of five of the great
farmers organizations to come TO
Washington Monday for a food con-
ference.
The farmers society presidents
coming Monday are: D. o. Mahoney.
Wisconsin, of the American Society of
Equity; Oliver Wilson. of Illinois, the
National Grange; Fl. 7. thinner, of In
diana, the Ancient Order of Cleaners;
&c. s. Barrett. of Georgia. the Farm
ers' union and H. f. Stock bridge of
Georgia, the Farmers National con-
gress.
A food committee of the council of
national defense, headed by Herbert
&C. Hoover. will work with the agricul-
tural department in solving food dis
tribution problems.

PRESIDENT WILSON EXPLAINS WHY

INDUSTRIES MUST NOT BE CRIPPLED
Chief Executive Writes Vgor GUS Letter Telling Where VOL

Line.

tivities in which the country must en-
great deal of its best energy and
capacity,
Where Volunteers Fail.
'The volunteer system did not do
this. When men choose themselves
they sometimes choose without due
regard of their other responsibilities.
Men may come from the farms or
from the mines or from the factories
or centers of business who ought not
to come but ought to stand back of
the armies in the field and see that
they get everything that they need
and that the people of the country are
sustained in the meantime.
1.-The principle of the selective draft
in short has at its heart the idea that
there is a universal obligation to serve
and that a public authority should
choose those upon whom the obliga-
ton of military services shall rest
and also in sense choose those who
The bill if adopted will do more, I
believe, than any other single instru-
mentality to create the impression of
universal service in the army and out
of it and, if properly administered,
will be a great source Of stimulation
"Those who feel that we are turn
ing away altogether from the volun-
tary principle, seem to forget that
some 100000 men will be needed to
fill the ranks of the regular army and
the national guard and that very
great field of individual enthusiasm
lies there wide open"
