DEFENSE COUNCIL
 NEAR EXTINCTION
President Protests Against Bill Whicl, Would Force Business Men Of
 Advisory Board.

Washington, July 7.-President Wilson has thrown the weight of his personal influence against a pro- vision attached to the food bill, which it is said, practically would disrupt the great machinery of the Council of Ma tional Defense. The provision in ques- ton would forbid any person con- nected with the government from selling it anything in which he has an interest.
 Inasmuch as the greatest business interests of the country are repre- scented on the advisory council the en- actment of the provision, the presi- dent thinks, would disrupt all the machinery set up for an efficient, economical conduct of the war by marshalling the country's best brains and resources.
 President Wilson has written a letter to Senator Mex ellar, author of the amendment saying such legisla- tion would be a calamity. He points out that business men on the com mittees have not the power to de- mand the price they shall receive for commodities sold the government whether or not they are interested in them. All sorts of safeguards have been takon to prevent advantage being taken of the government.
 The administration is much dis turbed by the continued attacks in congress on the advisory committees of the defense council
 Business men on some of the inn portant committees have been serious ly disturbed by threatened difficulty between Secretary Baker and Secre- tary Lane over the price of coal Officials hope that the presidents letter will prevent the adoption of legislation that probably would force 1 many business men out of the com mittceS
