SEE PLOT TO

Speedy Legislation Is Request
ed in Congress to Lay Bare
Confidential Files of Great
Meat Packers.
ARE CHARGED

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-Special
and speedy legislation TO lay bare the
confidential files of the great meat
packers and disclose what govern
ment investigators believe will show
plans to take complete control of the
meat industry was asked of congress
Today by the federal trade commits
sion.
On recommendation of Francis j.
Heney. special consul conducting the
commissions investigation, who has
been restrained by court orders from
taking further papers and also from
using those already seized by his
agents, the commission laid the facts
before congress and asked for action.
Charging that Henry Veeder, coun-
sci for the packers, is still the. custod-
ian of many papers which have been
used as instrumentalities in the COM
mission of felonies, Mr.. Heney asked
for supplement to the espionage law
TO facilitate the government inquiry
into the industry.
Specifically Mr.. Heney asks that
congress amend or supplement the
espionage act SO that the decision OF
a Judge who issues a search warrant
shall be conclusive upon the question
of the existence of probable cause.
and that summary proceeding al
ready provided by the statutes for
:he determination of the question Of
whether the property seized under the
writ vas used for the commission of a
felony shall likewise be conclusive for
the purpose only of enabling the court
to retain such property in the custody
of the law until the purpose of the
seizure shall have been served
The action of the appellate court in
issuing the stay, said Mr.. Heney pre-
vented the government from even ex-
amining papers already in its posses
sion and which federal district
court had found had been used "as
the means of committing felonies by
Swift and company and other corpor-
ations." -.t

PETROGRAD. Feb. -. (Delayed.)-
The inner history of the last few days
is a history of the struggle between
two tendencies in the government and
their supporters The surprise of the
German attack upset Russian calcula-
tons. Lenine's view had always been
that peace should have been signed at
Brest-Litovsk. He believed their best
plan was to preserve as fas as possible
the revolution in Russia itself. to keep
it alive until continuation of the war in
western Europe should bring other ma
tons to join Russia in revolt.
Trotzky. on the other hand. worked
in the belief that the western revolu-
ticn vas much nearer Hence his con-
s!stent policy at BrestLitovsk based
on the belief that Germany would be
unable TO take the risk O. further mill
tary operations.

No Base for Peace.
No base for peace is found in the
speech of Count Won Hertling by A. J.
Balfour, the British secretary for for
eign affairs. In making the first offic-
al reply to the German chancellor in
the house Of commons he rejected the
German suggestion concerning Bel
gium and said that the chancellors
professed acceptance of President Viii
sons four principles was only Zip
service"
There was nothing TO indicate that
diplomatic conversation with the cen
trail powers in their present frame OF
mind would bring lasting peace. To
undertake negotiations unless they
would lead to the righting Of the two
wrongs commit'e ed by Germany would
be the greatest crime" against the
future peace of the world. Secretary
Balfour declared that Germany chang
ed her policies to suit, her needs and
that Won Hertling offered no new pro-
posals.
In their advance into Russia the
Germans are meeting with more re-
sistance and apparently they have
been unable to make much headway

grad is declared to be the Teuton OBJ
