That is a detail Of the program

To this there is bitter opposition, not

A new angle in the matter Of price
fixing has been added by. the discov-
cry that state governments have large
powers-larger powers along certain

speeding up the federal program.

OVT. PLANS
ITO TAKE OVER
RAW MATERIAL
Viii Make Fight to Arrange
the Matter as a War
Measure.
By Gnson Gardner.

.RC1M SpcClAI. EStt HG4N III 5@sG
Washington, D. &C., Aug. 13.-The
ssovernmentis planning to take over
practically all raw materials. This is
stheSessence OF the~price control con-
7ternpiated by President Wilson. Coal,
oil.scopper, iron, food and foodstuffs
are the materials with which the war
must be waged and the control OF
these commodities for private profit
purposes has been found to be seri-
ouslyi interfering with the successful
prosecution of the war.
Ships cannot be built, coal mined,
Freight transported, no munitions
made, because there are steel trusts,
copper trusts, oil trusts, and combi-
nations Of spectators in food ~necessi-
ties, gripping these commodities with
q covetous and tight grip until each
hasssqueezed out his usurious profit.
These are the reasons why .Presi-
dent Wilson went to see the federal
trade commission a few days ago and
said: Sf
4.Gentlemen, what are you doing,
and how soon may I expect results
from your activities 2"
The federal trade commission has
been made the most important arm OF

FElARLOSS OF
DUTCH ISLANDS
Holland Afraid to Enter the
World War on Ger
man Side.
nv Harry p. Hunt.
stan Special.

Staff Special.
Washington, Aug. 13.-No matter
how severely Holland suffers by our
food embargo, the little Dutch king
dom ts not expected by allied diplo-
mats here to go into the war on the
side VI Germany.
For the reason, look at a map Of
the East Indies. Tho moment Hol-
land started anything, those mag
tnificent islands would drop into the
allies basket. It'll Is the greatest island
Dutch with rice and tobacco and the
rest of the world with tin, indigo, GIN
chona and rubber
England and America have been
content to leave Holland in undis-
turbed possession Of the islands, but
the Germans have always figured
some day they would gobble up Hol-
land and her colonies and the Japs
have also cast longing eye at the
rich pieces OF land SO comparatively
near their empire.
The Dutch East Indies consist Of
Java (mostly highly o%ultivated). with
four cities Of over. 100000 population
.each), Sumatra, Celebes, the bigger
part of Borneo' (the rest being Brit
ish) about one-half Of New Guinea
lthe rest was formerly part British,
Pa S0A - UAS ~ SOA AAA0AA PVA S4OAA
is now British), the Molucca archi-
pelago and myriads OF smaller islands.
Holland probably has about 100000
w~ell-trained, tough fighting men. They
could assist defending the Teuton line
In Flanders. Or they could put the
German army in Belgium in a danger
GUS position, with the allied forces in
front and the Dutch army in the rear.
But the control Of the waterways as
bases for submarines and aeroplanes
would be even more important. The
Scheldt, Mas and Rhine rivers empty
into the North sea through Dutch ter
rttory. \ Further northeast is the
Zuyder Zee. "
II Holland Joined Germany these
waters and the ports on them would
double the facilities Of the Germans
for submarine adventures. II Hol-
land Joined the allies, these would be
safe ports for allied d%estroyers to 60
on U-boat hunts.
Furthermore, from the town of
Anthem in Holland, allied aeroplanes
would only have a ffty-mile flight to
Essen, where the great Krupp works
are. and a little farther would take
them to Crefeld, Efberfeld and Dussel-

 An unusual opportunity is afforded at present to make the metrOic sys. tenn the American as well as the in- ternational language Of commerce, asserted George r. Kunz, of the New York Academy of Science.
 For the effective development of our trade" he said. it is most ur- gent that all foreign catalogues and publications issued by our manurac. tuTers should have all dimensions in metric as well as in Egllsh terms Of weights and measures"
 The demand for war materials, he added, had forced the introduction Of the metric system in many fac. tories.
