SENATOR REEDS ACTIONS
PROVOKE cAUsrIc COMMENT

The spectacle of Senator Reed bad
gering oFod Administrator Hoover,
like a country prosecutor questioning
a recalcitrant witness. is not a pleas
ing one to the country. 1t is remela-
bered wildly how this same Missouri
senator delayed the passage of the
food control bill through many weary
weeks of last summer, when the need
for it became daily more imperative
1t is remembered, too, how he showed
an inexplicable personal animosity
against Mr.. Hoover, whose selection
as the head of the food administration
had been announced.
Now, through his fortuitous position
as chairman of an obscure senate com
mittee, Senator Reed has been doing
his utmost to discredit the man who
fed Belgium, and who has shown ex-
traordinary ability in solving the ire
~mendously difficult problems of food
control. Mr.. Hoover is working as an
unselfish patriot, without salary or
emoluments, to conserve supplies and
prevent an imitation OF prices that
would work untold hardship TO the
people.
Senator Reed SO unanswered that
ms charges ana lnnuendOeS against
Mr.. Hoover, publicly made in the in
v~estigation, remained unanswered for
a fortnight, He prevented and post
poned the appearance of Mr.. Hoover
as a witness as long as possible, and
then, when that appearance could no
longer be prevented, attacked him for
having made a temperate statement
to the public with the express approx
al of the president.
Mr.. HooVer's calm deIneaner on the
witness stand, his composure and
command OF the facts, his evident eff
fciency in the conduct Of his Office,
have served only to enrage Reed, and
inspire him to further displays of brow
beating and p~ettifogging.
1t is a pity that the senate should
permit this arrant misuse of its ma
chinery. 1t is a pity that the other
members of the committee have not
put an effective bride on their chair
man
But the public not only believes in
Hoover but has taken Reeds cas-
IRE, understands his unpatriot;c and
unworthy motives, and trusts that in
good time the people of Missouri viii
call him back to his proper station in
life.-Minneapolis Journal.
