Wider Control Necessary in
Allied Food Programme,
Says Committee Member
SituationC alledSerious
u. S. Has Fallen Short of Pool
Promises, Declares
Anderson
[Staf Co,respondemce]

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.--''If the
United States is to make good Its
promises of food to the Allies Congress IS
must enact without further delay the
additional control Legislation asked by
Food Administrator Herbert Hoover"
Members Of the House Committee on
Agriculture drew this Inference from
confidential information given to them
by the Food Administrator and SC.
about to-day to draft bill that will
accomplish his purposes without grant
ing blanket powers. The original bill
is being revised, and will be reportcd d
for passage late this week. it is hoped.
In addition to giving the Food Ad-
ministrator control over public eating
places it is proposed to confer power
that will enable him to limit the use of
food materials in manufacture and take
such other steps as are necessary to
conserve the amount of food guaran-
teed to the Allies. 1t is not intended
to ration the public, but rather to in
o.
Situation Called Serious
"The food situation is much more
serious than is generally supposed"
Representative Anderson, of Mime
sofa, member Of the House commit
tee, said to-day, basing his assertion
on information from Mr. Hoover. He
called attention to the Allied food pool
arrangement made last November.
During the last two months" Mr.
Anderson continued, "America has
fallen far short of her contribution to
the Allied food needs. This was due
partly to transportation difficulties and
partly to other reasons. In addition
difficulties have arisen which have re-
duced the possible shipments of food
from certain neutral countries.
"The result of this situation has
three months the doubling of our pre-
vious food exports, especially wheat"
The revised Lever bill, Mr.. Anderson
indicated, will give Mr.. Hoover full
authority to enforce such regulations
as the recent one reducing the con-
sumption of wheat by 80 per cent. 1t
is recognized, he said, that many hard
ships are worked by the order requir-
iig retailers to sell with -four an equal
amount Oh OlhcT cereals.
Remedies Called Urgent
"The food administration" he con-
tinued, recognizes that universal ap-
plication of rigid rule of this sort
results in many cases of individual in
Justice, but these exceptions could only
be determined by putting the order
into effect and will be remedied by ex-
ceptions and notifications as fast as
the injustice or inequity becomes ap-
parent.
"The imperative necessity involving
reductions Of consumption in this coun-
try cannot be overstated, and prompt
and patriotic response to the spirit of
the food administrations requirement
will not only greatly help in the prose-
cutlon of the war by mailing it possible
the Allied armies. but will obviate tha
necessity for even more drastic re-
structions in the future"

Who Speaks for Russia?
Russia's plight and the attitude
to be adopted by the victorious ma
tons is recognized as one OF the
most serious problems of the con-
ference. Every proposed solution
so far is said to haye been blocked
by the unanswered question of who
is, qualified to speayfor the Russian
people.
The government at Omsk, of
which the United States and other
governments have expected much is
now in the hands OF a dictator and
split into factions, The entente ma
tons have not given up hope that
the Omsk authorities may yet
evolve a stable form of government
for Russia, but this has not been &C
complished now and none of the al
lied governments has recognized the
Omsk regime officially although all
of them are dealing with Russian re-
personalities who are in close touch
with Admiral Kolchak and his gov
eminent.

PREMIER EBERT
Optimistic About Future of
Germany, He Says, Yet
Warns Against 0p-
preston.

London, Dec. l7.-(British Wire
less Service. )-Friedrich Ebert,
socialist premier of Germany, de-
clared in an interview yesterday that
he did not know OF any legal method
by which William Hohenzollern's
surrender could be forced.
81 cannot think of any provision
in law upon which the former en-
peror would have to be given up"
he said. But that is not a question
which closely concerns us. We
have separated ourselves from him
and now desire only that guilt for
the outbreak of the war should be
finally fixed in order that he may be
exposed, once for all"
Asked as to his view of the flu
ture, Ebert replied:
Il am optimistic, but you must
remember that our influence upon
the course of events is limited. We
cannot create bread for the German
people If the nation is allowed to
starve. then the inevitable will fol-
low. That a nation can be brought
to a desperate pass and burst
through all restraints have been
shown by the experience of the past
year. Our old system came to the
ground as a result Of Russian events
which it, itself provoked. 1t is poor
consolation, however. that in falling,
one drags ones enemy to the
ground, To us any other solution
would be preferable"

And Christmas chimes are sounding;

And all the heavenly fields are spread
With starlight bright, yet tender.

In traeery Of flowers,
Bringing again the summer lost
To bloom thru Christmas hours.
Oh, happy night, whose blessed days
Across the ages shine,
Hghting the darkness Of cur days,
