Dumbly Awaiting Disaster.
No European government except Ger
many was able to secure these powers
until after some great disaster was ir-
r~evocable, and we sit here dumbly
waiting for disaster and then we shall
scream and criticize the government
for not having one something that
they are powerless to do.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion in the press as to my coming
to America to take the position Of
food dictator or food controller. This
is not the case. / came to Washing
ton from Europe at the request of the
government to advise them as to the
organization necessary to set up for
proper and efficient food control.
Legislation has already been-intro-
duced into congress looking toward
the creation of food control. The de-
tail of e and measures must be
devolved from u own commercial
institutions with the experience Of the
vast European laboratory Of food con-
troll problems as a guard against re-
peating errors.
Balks at Dictatorship.
No one would be willing to take the
position as head Of such a department
for food control if it is based absolute
ly upon restriction and control of di-
verse interests and is subject to a
daily harvest of opposition.
II do not want the position and I
feel that there are many others who
could handle its concrete problems
better than I. and I will have done
my service in advice better than in
execution.
MY only desire is to see the pro-
per instrumentality set up to meet
and a man of courage, resource and
experience at its head who is willing
to sacrifice himself on the altar Of the
in~articulate masses whom he must
protect. Such a man can be sure that
l will place my advice at his disposal"
Hoover the Man.
Washington. May 10.-Suggestions
that Herbert C.sHoover may be made
American food controller were given
weight today by definite indications
that the administration plans the crea-
ton of an emergency food organiza-
ton to direct food distribution during
the war.
Plans for an emergency agency to
handle food problems have not been
completed in detail, u 1t is believed
probable President Wilson will name
one maj to be directly responsible for
carrying out emergency provisions of
the legislation that is sought. This
man would administer regulatory
features of the laws governing distri-
button and price fixing. leaving to the
agriculture department enforcement
of provisions to stimulate production.
!. The emergency organization would
be formed to last only throughout the
war and would follow the lines sug-
gested for such an agency by Mr..
Hoover. after a study of similar or
CARNATIONS In the allied countries.
Many administration leaders are con-
WINGED. it is said, that creation of the
emergency organization is vital to
conservation of the food supply and
necessary to prevent speculation and
ar undue imitation Of food prices.

tee agreed today on provisions or a

morrow by Senator Gore. 1t is SINH

NEWSPAPERS
HARDEST HIT
YTHEW WAR TAX
Many Publications Will Be
Unable to Survive the
Heavy War Revenue.

Chicago, May 11.-Many news
paper publishers are on the way to
Washington to attempt to procure
fair treatment for their business un-
der the proposed war tax. it was an
nounced last night by Hopewell l..
Rogers, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers association. Mr..
operate with E. H. Baker, chairman
OF the legislation committee Of the
association. In connection with the
proposed increase in postage, Presi-
dent Rogers made the following state
ment:
TT is difficult to understand the
policy of the government. not only in
dating taxes back, but also in putting
so great a tax on business in any
form: and particularly in placing SO
heavy a tax on the newspaper bust
ness, which has probably been more
severely affected In the last year
through increased prices than any
other industry.
In time Of war they suffer partic-
ularly. owing to the enormously in
inc of war news and the increased
circulation-for increased circulation
means increased expenses.
Wipes Out All Profits.
I'm the last year most of the news
papers in the country have been COM
PEELED to increase the subscription
price Of their papers al we'll as their
advertising rates in an attempt to OBJ
tain earnings sufficient to carry on
their business.
Newspapers in normal times sell
dom increase their advertising rates
fast enough to keep up with the in
creased cost Of increased circulation,
and the last yea has seen most
papers facing q severe financial
crisis. In spite Of these facts the new
revenue bill proposes an increase in
postal rates. which are particularly
unfair to the first zones. a tax Of 10
per cent on print paper imported and,
1 understand. a tax or advertising re-
ceipts-any one Of which would alone
wipe out all the profits Of most news
papers even in normal times. and at
such times as these will tend to cause
the discontinuance Of publication Of
many newspapers and force out Of
employment many mon specially
trained for this work and whose value
in other lines is comparatively small.
"The newspapers fully realize the
seriousness of the present situation
and appreciate that they must bear
their share Of the burden. out the
provisions Of this proposed bill seem
more severe on newspapers than on
any other line of business and are to
tits extent unjust and indefensible."

MARKET NEWS

Chicago, May 11.-There is little
change in the wheat situation. The
basis Of the high prices remains az
some time past. Foreigners have
the surplus futures bought and there
is not enough selling pressure to salts
~ those who are short and have to
cover. Occasionally there are breaks
due to profit taking when there are no
particular buying orders at hand but
rallies follow the declines with little
effort on the part of the buyers. The
short sellers have been so unfortunate
lately that they are going slow. Wheat
garded as so. badly strained that many
of the largest commission houses are
not taking any new orders.
A little more May corn was on the
market yesterday and the May, July
spread narrowed slightly. Cash
premiums are easing.
