HOOVER STATES

London, July 28-Speaking at
luncheon given in his honor by the loru
mayor at the Mansion House today,
Herbert c. Hoover, the American food
administrator, gave a, most reassurins
review of the food situation
We can say emphatIcally that all
anxiety as to the great essentials OF
food is now past" he declared.
In practical results We have turned
the corner. Our loaf will improve in
quality and we can deliver 1t without
restriction except an injunction to econ
omy. Our meat and fats supplies are
ample. Beyond this we can build UP
reserves in North America against the
possibility of a short harvest next year.
II have in my possession the needs of
the European Allies for meats. We can
( furnish whole volume in pork alone.
I'm seeking President Wilson'S coun
! sci is to the conference of food officials
which Is now in progress received

of view IN all our food negotia tons:
{" That the American people will glol-

consumption and in the production Of
foodstuff that will maintain the health
comfort and the courage OF the peoTla
~ the allied countries. We are. in
! fact eating at the common table with
them"

TAX ON NET INCOME
OF CORPORATIONS

Washington, July o3--An eighteen

tatvely agreed upon today by the

The proposed arrangement, which
is in line with treasury department

John DILLON TO ASK
HOUSE or COMMONS
TO DISCUSS IRELAND

London, July 23.-John Dillon.
Irish Nationalist leader, gave notice
in the House of Commons today that
he would ask the government to-
morrow for a day for the discussion
of the following notion: The policy
pursued toward Ireland by the gov
eminent is inconsistent with the
great principles for the vindieation
of which the allied powers are carry
ing on the war. This policy mas
greatly alienated and eXasperated
the Irish people and, if perseyerei
in will further ALLEVIATE and eXas-
perate them and will steadily in
crease the difficulty of reaching a
settlement of the Irish question basis
of friendship between the British and
Irish nations. That this House en-
tirely endorses the principles laid
down by President Wilson in his
great speech at the grave of George
Washington, when speaking of the
objects for which America and ner
allies are fighting he said These
great objects can be put into a single
sentence. What we seek is the reign
of law, based Upon the consent OF me
governed and sustained by the or
ganized opinion of mankind. The se
great ends cannot be achieved by de
batting and seeking to reconcile and
accommodate what statesmen may
wish. with their projects for balances
of power and of national opportur-
ity. They can be realized only 10y the
determination of what the thinking
peoples of the world desire, with their
longing hope for justice and for So
cial freedom and opportunity" And
! that this House is of TIE opinion
that the true solution Of the Irish
question is TO put into operation
without delay with regard to Ireland
t principles laid down by President
| Wilson il. his historic utterance."
