Washington, May pa program under
which the American government virtual
ly would pool it's purchasing for the sake
OF obtaining maximum efficiency, with
that of all the allies construct a buying
machine which hundreds of experts in
many lines would it as cog wheels, and
place one in charge Of the whole gigantic
enterprise is under consideration and fast
assuming definite outline.
This man would be the worlds super
buyer Into his hands the nations at war
with Germany would place approximately
80. .000, 10000 a year. a store of money ex-
ceeding the tabled treasures of the an
cient Incas and with no parallel in mod
crn history.
So far has the program progressed that
the officials entrusted with its execution
already have a definite idea as to whom
they will choose. His selection may be
announced within the next fortnight.
Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy,
Japan and Belgium have agreed to the
essentials of the scheme and will sign an
agreement making it effective as soon as
the tremendous amount of details involved
can be adjusted. AT present the program
hinges on the extent to which the United
States will participate in the pooling ar
rangement.
Plans are being formulated under
which the needs of the American army
and navy would be placed in the hands
Gf the commission.
The army and navy, experts estimate.

will spend approximately $500, 900, 900 dur
ing the first year of war. The allies will
spend approximately 5000, 100000 a year.
To eliminate duplication of effort and
competitive bidding, 1t Is proposed to
bring all these vast purchases under the
direction of single organization.
To do this the war department and the
navy department would have to surren-
der, in theory but not in fact, officials
say-a part of their purcb asing preroga-
tives. The theory advanced by officials
favoring the change is that greater eff
cheney and larger purchasing power of
the moneys thus expended would result
in addition to elimination of any element
of competition.
The mechanism Of the organization
would consist primarily of a directing
head and subdivisions or bureaus each
in charge of purchases of certain COM
modities.
The bureau in charge of foodstuffs pur.
chases would rank among the most i'm.
portant of the subdivisions. Present
plans call for responsibility for all such
purchases in the hands of a man knowr
the world over for his ability along this
line. To him would be given the task
of co-ordinating the acquisitions of The
world upon Americas larder. or distribut.
ing American food equitably among the
allies and of keeping such close checks
upon production and outgo that there
would be no shortage of necessities among
the American people themselves.

Washington May. 2-The newspaper
censorship fight was rcopened in Con-
gress to-day. following President Will

insist upon inclusion of some form of
press regulation in the administration

power of some sort, outlined yesterday
in a letter to Representative Webb. chair
man Of the judiciary committee, was en-
phasized to-day to Senate conferees on
the espionage bill. who we're called to the
White House for the purpose. Surprise
over the step was expressed generally at
the Capitol. where the belief had grown
and reports apparently authoritative,
had been widely circulated. that the ad-
ministration had accepted the Senate's 8
unfavorable vote as final.
Whether administration will attempt to
force through a censorship authorization
was said tonight to depend upon sound
ings being made by leaders among the
House and Senate membership. especially
the former. The conferees held another
meeting to-day. but unable to break their
deadlock over censorship, adjourned until
! Friday.

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, July 10.-Cattle run
today was on the moderate order for
a Monday, estimate calling for q
200, a falling off as compared with
a week ago, but a slight increase
with the corresponding day a year
ago.
Little change was reported in the
wires from outside centers and with
the big end of the days supplies in
killing grades the deal worked out on
a steady TO strong basis with the
close of last week. The slight inn
provement was noted on the better
classes of strictly dry feds.
Stocker and feeder disposal devel-
oped a little more life than was no
ticeable at the close of business last
week, and the best grades of both
steers and she stuff moved at slightly
stronger figures, while common kinds
were slow sale and barely steady.
Hog buyers again had the advan-
tage and forced prices down another
notch or two all along the line. Lo-
cally the fresh loss was put at Is a
zoe. Bulk of sales from $14.65@
14.85.
