continued on various sectors, but
everywhere the enemy has been held,

COMMISSION To DECIDE
President, at Hoover's Request, En-
trusts Determination of National
Policy To Body Of Five Prom
inent Government Officials.

powerless to protect properly all

is almost intolerable In criticism
from both producer and consumer"
Mr.. Hoover asked that the President
extend to meat the policy initiated in
steel, copper and other commodities
which are sold at prices fixed on the
basis of conferences between pro.
ducers and the government.

tions, the chairman Of the United
States Tariff Board, representing
the viewpoint OF the civilian consum.
er, and the Food Administrator, who
has to carry out any policy adopted
Mr.. Hoover in submitting his pro-
/ posal to the President, outlined the
trials OF his organization in seeking
to stimulate production and concur.

Fate of Nation In Balance.

London, April 1.-The battle for
which no one attempts to give a name
because it is on a scale too great for
any geographical designation, began
eight days ago. To say that 1t has
been a period of the greatest strain
and stress that the British people has
ever known would be to make a fu'
tile understatement. The fate OF
England, indeed of the whole British
empire has been committed to tne
test of one clash of arms. The most
impressive effect is the sweeping
aside of political. factional disputes
