the most far-reaching act ever COM

functions at the direction of the ma
tons chief executive since the estab-

England is operating its railways,

that the project was attempted with
only a few complications, and was
readily adjusted within a period OF
six months.

A DISGUSTING SHOW.

Personal spleen and deliberate cuss.
c3ness have characterized the investi.
gation by the Senate committee into
The sugar shortage, this receiving par
ticular vent in the conduct of Senator
Reed.
Mr.. Reed was an uncompromisins
opponent Of the food control bill, and
he was especially antagonistic to Mr..
Hoover, for reasons which he himself
has never made clear.
However, Mr.. Hoover has succeeded
in placing his statement before the
country, and from it one cannot fail
TO perceive that only for the operation
CT the food control law the people now
would be paying two or three times
the present price for sugar. The short
age, which is really only temporary
Is satisfactorily explained, and the
facts are such as to entirely relieve
either Mr.. Hoover personally, the law,
OF the bureau from blame.
Senator Reed and his committee are
making themselves ridiculous in their
vain effort to assign responsibility to
Mr. Hoover and are disgusting the
country with their show of spite and
peevishness. IT is a performance IN
'Torthy OF a committee or a parsonage
representing so great body as the
