HUN COMMAND

United Press Leased wire,D
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
April 3O.-Determined allied
resistance is piling up Ger
man losses to an extent that
is alarming the foes military
leaders, military officers
here believe.
Reports that Austria is being
called on to send achievements
to the western front were re-
garded here as very significant.
Pinning their hopes on ulti-
mate, decisive victory in France,
the Germans are disregarding the
other war fronts. American Of
ficers say opportunities are open
ing up for allied offensive action
in both Italy and Macedonia.
Bulgaria's position is particu-
larly vulnerable, it Is held here.
Germany, officers here say,
would not call on Austria unless
the need was great.
The aspects OF the great strug-
gle have been changed within the
last two or three days. The chan
mel ports are no longer in immi-
nent danger, American experts
believe. There is q chance that

Food Administration Next
May Cut Big Meat Profits

ing crude sugar. The result was
that last winter, when the coun-
try faced sugar shortage, sugar
prices did not reach a famine
scale, but were held steady. The
sugar refiners were not allowed
a hogs profit.
The lesson learned there has
not been forgotten. The half
dozen packing kings have been
making hogs profits. Every time
the demand for meat increases,
the Chicago barons slap on extra
prices. Now il the food admins
tration goes thru with what it has
in mind 1t will say to the pack
ers:
"You will pay market prices, for
cattle on the hoof, price that will
encourage farmers to raise cattle.
You will kill, dress and handle
the meat and for this service you
will get certain fixed sum per
100 pounds-no more, no less.
You are not to make famine
profits by charging famine
prices"

between producer and consumer
should be cut out.
Then Hoover wrote his letter to
the president asking that the meat
situation be investigated by the
secretaries of agriculture and la
Dor, the chairmen of the federal
trade and federal tariff boards
and Hoover.
In his letter to Wilson, Hoover
said II was vital to stabilize prices
based upon cost of production at
a fair and stimulative profit to
the producer and, with stabiliza-
ton, to eliminate speculative
risks and thus make some gains
for the consumer.
This meant either voluntary
agreement with the packers as to
prices to be paid producers and
charged consumers or government
operation Of the packing plants.
The committee outlined by
Hoover has not yet made its re-
port. But here is a good indica-
ton of the direction in which
Hoover Is looking.
The sugar industry lent itself
to speculation and also to exor-
bitant profits. Hoover got the
sugar refiners to make a volun-
tary agreement whereby their in
terest in high sugar prices should
be killed. They were allowed
$3.50 per 100 pounds for their
services in handling and refin-

Especial to The Times)

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1.
TO all you housekeepers who
have been financially pinched by
ever rising prices of meat-these
words OF comfort:
First-The Hoover food admin
istration is becoming more and
more convinced that Uncle Sam
will have to step in and say to the
meat kings that they may make
only a certain stipulated sum
not in any way a profit, but as pay
for their services in killing, dress
ing and handling meat products.
Second-The food administra-
ton is rapidly coming to the view
that one vital way to smash con-
troll Of the peoples food is for
the director general Of the rail-
roads to break up the practical
monopoly meat kings have in re-
frigerator cars.
An advisory committee of farm
ers. representing all the states,
and named by Secretary of Agri-
culture Houston, recently report
ed against government ownership
or operation of meat packing
plants.

nized that stability of prices was
necessary to secure steady pro-
duction and also that an unrea-
sonable margin of profit standing
