mended absolute government control of
certain staples, particularly grain and
sugar.
He asked prompt action on the adj
ministration's food bills and pointed to
allied food troubles as proof of the
necessity for taking hold of the sit
uatin early in the war.
Capitalization of food control, MIR.
Hoover told the committee, is vital.
Europe, he said, has found maximum
price fixing a failure but minimum
price fixing has had better success.
The bills advocated by Mr.. Hoover
give the President and the Department
of Agriculture direct control of the
countrys food resources.
The bill as drawn gives the agri-
cultural department power to regu-
late wheat consumption to some ex-
tent by ordering an increase in the
amount of the wheat kernel used in
flour manufacture. Europe is using a
larger percentage successfully now
although at first some of the allied
countries used too much of the whole
wheat and their bread was declared
injurious to health.

SERIOUS DISREGARD
OF AMERICAN RIGHTS

Washington, Feb. 27.-The sinking
of the big Cunarder Laconia, appa-
rently without warning and with twen-
ty-six Americans on board. doomed up
as the most serious disregard of Amer
lean rights since the ruthless German
submarine campaign began. Govern
ment officials here made no attempt to
conceal their concern.
Consul Frost at Queenstown report
ed to the state department the sink
ing of the vessel and the loss Of one
life, but gave no details
Officials pointed out that, while
final reports may show that no Amer
lean lives were lost, the fact will re-
main that the twenty-six Americans
on board were illegally assaulted on
a peaceful mission and escaped death
only by good fortune.
The United States is concerned in
the sinking of the Laconia also be-
cause a large amount Of official diplo-
matte mail was lost.

prevail of President Wilson within a

Of continental United States.
The provision is regarded as the
most farreaching that could be en-
acted by the federal government and
as sweeping as would be possible un'
der any method short of nationwide
prohibition amendment.
It would cut off entirely liquor i'm
portations, amounting now to mil
lions of dollars annually, into the
large number of states which have
forbidden manufacture or sale but
have permitted importation for per.
sonal use.
Advocates Of prohibition divided
among themselves over the expedi.
ency of the step, some friends of the
cause declaring so drastic law
would have a reactionary effect.
In the same way those who have
opposed prohibition were not unani.
nous.
A provision barring liquor advertise
ments from the mails in states that
prohibit such advertising is included
In the measure.
