Two men staggering under the

Pennsylvania avenue was blocked as
they cut corners to the Intersection

HOOVER'S BUREAU
TO END WITH WAR

Government direction of the distri-
button of foodstuffs after the war,
until normal conditions prevail in
Europe, will be continued under the
Department Of Agriculture. Congress
approves the request Of President
" ilson to this end.
The Food Administration will cease
to exist with the signing Of peace
treaties. President Wilson now has
program of legislation to be sub
mitted to Congress.
Herbert Hoover. United States food
administrator, has expressed his de-
sire to be relieved of his duties as
soon as possible. II is considered
certain that the machinery OF the
Food Administration will be turned
ever to the Department OF Agricul-
ture.
Work to Continue.
The efforts of the Government will
continue to be directed at the maxi
mum production of food in America
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1918-11-09

and the practice OF conservation 20
that the greatest possible supply OF
foodstuffs be made available for ship
ment to- Europe. Naturally. however.
with the expiration of the Food Ad-
ministration, price agreements with
farmers also will terminate unless
Congress grants new price-fXing
powers to the Government.
1t has been said that after the war
more urgent appeals for patriotic sc-
ton in food conservation must be-
urged, inasmuch as there is no eff
cient method of policing. Food .Ad-
ministration rules now are in force
because OF the patriotic endeavers OF
the people. who have been ready 70
report violations of the food regula-
tons.
The Department OF Agriculture
with its machinery for obtaining exact
information regarding the activities
OF the farmers, will be able to intelli-
gently advise the agricultural and
animal producers as to the greatest
food requirements and obtain their
cooperation.

Short Of Sand, So
Army Uses Sugar in
Testing Aero Wings

For the first time perhsps in
the history OF the War Depart
ment q branch OF the department
is today using sugar as a substi-
tute for sand in its production
program.
An official OF the Aircraft Pro-
duction Board called Clarence r.
Wilson, District food chief. on
the phone today and asked per
mission TO use thirty pounds OF
sugar in making a test of wing
sections Of airplanes. A shipment
OF white sand, which is ordinarily
used. had not arrived, stated the
official, and sugar was the only
satisfactory substitute.
Permission was readily granted.
In Just what way the sugar was
used in testing the wing sections
OF airplanes is not made public.

SIMS DISCUSSES
FREEDOM OF SEAS

LONDON, Nov. admiral Sims.
commander OF the American naval
forces in European waters. has made
the following statement on the sub
ject of the freedom of the seas"
The cooperation between the
American and British fleets left
nothing to be desired, but I am IN
able to find anyone on either side
to give a definition OF the freedom
OF the seas
so far as history goes. the power
OF Great Britain has permitted prac-
tically absolute freedom OF the seas
to everybody, because any vessel
could go to any British port and
carry goods to any other port.
ITO me that looks like perfect
freedom OF the seas"

PROGRESSIVESHOLD
BALANCE OF POWER

With almost complete returns from
Tuesdays elections indicating the
Senate will be Republican by a ma
jority OF two. the so-calIed prog es-
sives" in the upper branch will hold
the balance OF power when the Sen
ate conVenes next March
According to Indications today.
there will be forty-nine Senator'S on
the Republican side and forty-seven
OF the Democratic side.
Any one "Progressive" vote swing
ing TO the side OF the DEMOCRATS
could therefore. with Vice President
Marsha's vote. give them a major
lty.
Democrats See support.
Thus. chief interest today centers
in the course which will be pursued
on great reconstruction issues by
such men as Borah. Johnson OF Cal
ifornia, LaFollette. McNary OF Ore
gon and Kenyon OF Iowa. all OF
whom are more or less independent
OF party. The Democrats are count
ing strongly on the support OF these
men-at least some of them-in pre-
venting repeal OF many laws which
the Democrats have passed during
their reign OF power. and to which
suDHlAnliaA RcpuDAlCdu OPpOSlbAOA
has been made.
These Senators are practically all
public ownership men. and when the
question of continuing Federal con-
troll OF railroads, telegraphs. and tele-
phones comes up, they may be counted
on to oppose the regular" Republic
ans and vote with those who want
temporary Government control con-
verified into permanent Government
ownership and operation.
ReeOnstruetiOn Opportunity.
b It is on new reconstruction meas
ures. however. that the Progressives
will get their opportunity to WELD
the greatest influence. They can beat
any measure by filibustering against
il. They also can put through pro-
gressive laws because both Democrats
and Republicans will be eager to
please them to obtain their support
Kenyon's resolution for a commits
sion to recommend a budget system
is one measure which has been held
up by reactionaTy influence. which
now probably will go through.
