 WOMEN IA PHOENIX VISITOR

Visiting Phoenix for the past few days is Mrs. George Bass, secretary of the woman's national Liberty loan committee. Mrs. Bass has come to { Phoenix direct from Washington, where she has been conference with the national Liberty loan chairman, and is here for the purpose of looking over the situation and conferring with Alice Birdsall who has charge of the woman's Liberty loan committee in this city.

 Mrs. Bass leaves today for a tour of the coast and will attend important conferences in California and Nevada, after which she will again visit Phoe- nix before returning to Washington where she will make her headquar- tcrs.
 Mrs. Bass was appointed to the sec retaryship of the woman's Liberty loan committee by Secretary McAdoo at the beginning of the first bond issue. Mrs. Bass had headquarters at the treasury department in Washing ton and was under the immediate au- y ury. So important did the secretary Of the treasury regard woman's work Tn war activities, declared Mrs. Bass, { that he ordered that an organization of women be formed in every township in the United States. At the head of all these organiza tions he placed Mrs Bles. and she succeeded in enlisting in active work more than two million 1 women. Mrs Bass said that the wom- en sold a billion dollars worth of bonds i in the second loan and more than this 1 in the third and fourth issues. which 1 fact is considered by financial au- 1 thorities as a very remarkable achievement owing to the fact that the women sold all small issues.
 Mrs. Bass was the only woman on
 the national war savings committee, Of
 which Frank Vanderlip was chairman
 and was appointed by the treasury de
 partment to plan war savings cam
 paign. In 1916 she was chairman ot
 the Woodrow Wilson campaign, anC

and mine workers.
The plans, which the fuel admins
tration said were submitted to Pres
ident Wilson before his return to
France, provide that during the
period of readjustment and there
after" a commission consisting Of a
member of the cabinet and representa-

an easy matter to land supplies at the

economic value of the franc, with con-
sequent loss In the present value OF

Meanwhile, France has done Moth
ing to date to meet the serious finan-
cial situation confronting her. due to
this hope of some International ar
rangement. The French people have
not been taxed within so per cent as
heavily as tho British and Americans
for carrying OF the war. with the
present situation as the result.
Committees Slow. =
Against the set program of having
all committee reports submitted by
March 8, only two major committees
have completed their work-the mill
tary and naval bodies. These terms
are now ready for inclusion in the
peace treaty, except for a few minor
details. PREPARATION, boundaries and
post war economic terms are still in
O fluid state. .' .-
"At the present rate Of progress the
discussions would drag on for weeks.
But certain conferees agreed this can
not be the case. In view Of the reports
from Hungary and Germany, some
drastic action appears likely to be
taken within a few days.
"The president and other leaders
have put In long hours and the COM
mittees have done the same, but they
have little to show for their efforts
since the presidents return. Whether
the peace treaty is completed by next
Saturday, as planned. depends upon
whether a different program from the

Monroe Doctrine Change.
An amendment to the League of Ma
lions covenant covering the Monroe
doctrine advocated by President Will
son and Colonel House is expected to
be presented at tonight's session of
the league commission.
The proposed amendment would pre-
vent any power from acquiring terri
tory In the western hemisphere by
conquest, purchase, treaty or otherwise
unless the Americas consented.
This article vas reported today to
the meeting with opposition from
within the commission, especially by
the British and French, who have ex-
tensive interests In the Americas. II
could not be learned whether the presi-
dent will attempt to force through the
amendment despite the opposition, but
It was believed he will strongly advo-
cate it's adoption, inasmuch as it would
remove much of the ground for oppo.
sition in the United States. The Mon.
roe doctrine proposal is held by soms
to mark q considerable recession from
Wilson's original position, hat the
covenant would not be altered except
in a minor way.

PREDICTS DROP IN
FOOD PRICES SOON
Peek Declares Grain Appropri-
alton Will Be Used to Keep
Wheat From. Soaring and
otkcr Prices Down.
By Associated Press.

F. Washington. d. c., March U.s.
Cheaper food in the near future was
Predicted today by Chairman Peek, Of
the department Of of the in
dustrial board. at a conference with
food administration officials in New
York.
Mr.. Peek said there had been gen.
eral misunderstanding Of a recent
statement by Mr.. Hoover that wheat
might go to $3.50 a bushel. and added
that the $1,000, 900 grain appropriation
was made by congress to enable the
public to get wheat products at rea-
sonable prices as we'll as to make good
the guarantee to the producer.
With wheat prices reasonable, Mr..
Peek said, reasonable prices of other
products could be expected, because
wheat was the barometer Of the food
trade.
= Mr.. Peek and William M. Ritter, a
member of the board, returned from
New York this morning, where they
went to secure from officials Of the
food administration and it's grain cor
poration q statement of their policy Of
food products.
Mr.. Peek made this statement:
Food administration officials felt
that it was unfortunate that there
had been such general misunderstand-
ing of Mr.. Hoover's statement that we
might see wheat at $3.50 a bushel,'
What Mr.. Hoover said was we
might see wheat at $3.50 a bushel, as
1t was in the spring Of 1917, IL there
is a free market In wheat and uncon-
trolled prices So much for the 1915
crop. There can be no free market
of 80 per cent of the worlds exports.
AS to the 1919 crop, 1t Is, Of course, too
early to come to any precise con-
clusion."
Further, the phrasing of the grain
appropriation bill clearly indicates that
the 81, 900, 000, 900 appropriation was
made by congress-, not only to make
good the $2.26 guarantee to the farm
ers, but to enable the government to
sell wheat and flour at the guaran-
teed. prices, or at such other prices,
and on such terms or conditions as
may be necessary to carry out the pur-
poses of the act, and to enable the
people OF the United States to pur-
chase wheat products at reasonable
cost. Wheat is the basic food com
modify. What is a reasonable cost
may be determined by conditions. In
July the wheat crop, estimated at more
than 1850, 900, 900 bushels, will begin
to come to market.
II believe, therefore, that there is
every reason to expect lower food
prices in the relatively near future.
This view, I believe, the men in charge
Of the affairs Of the food administra-
| ton will share"

WASHINGTON ALARMED.
Bv Associated Prsss,

Washington, ID. c., March 2j.-Grave
concern was evident today in official
and diplomatic quarters here over the
news of the seizure of government in
Hungary by a bolshevist regime. which
has inaugurated it's advent by declar-
ing a state of war with the entente
powers and seeking an alliance with
tho Russian b~olshevists. g.. g..
NO n in authority would attempt
to forecast the result or discuss what
measures might be adopted by the as
sociated powers, chiefly because the
state department so far is without
official advices on the subject.
With President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing in Paris the attitude OF
the American government toward any
measures that may be proposed will
be determined and announced there.

ALLIED MONITORS ON WAY.
Nv ~lIpifad Presa

Paris, March 25.-Allied monitors
have started up the river from Bel
grade in an attempt to reach Bud
apest, 1t was announced today.
American diplomatic advices said
that despite the fact there has been
some firing and disorder In Budapest,
allied and American representatives
are safe. Communications have been
interrupted between Vienna and
Serbia.
Two French divisions are at Buda-
pest, and Serbian and Rumanian troops
are available for use in Hungary
should their services be needed.
1t Is understood in Paris, according to
one report, that the three Polish di-
visions in France will be shipped at
once to Danzig. The allied proposal to
use Danzig as the port Of debarkation
for these troops was n Of the main
causes for the breaking off by the Ger
mans Of negotiations with the allied
commission in Poland. German news
papers have strongly denounced the
proposal to give Poland he port Of
Danzig and a corridor to 1t.
The extremists are active in Vienna,
but the government still is in control.
Reports from CZecho- SloVakia, where
the b~olshevist movement is reported to
be strong, are meager.
Reports that the Russian bolshevists
had large forces of troops In Galicia
ready to advance into Hungary still
lack confirmation from reliable
sources. The b~olshevists, however, are
within 100 miles OF the eastern from
tier Of Galicia. but reports late last
week were to the effect that the anti"
bolshevist Ukrainians were driving the
bolshevists back into the region of the
Pr.pet marshes, northeast of Lemberg,
which the Poles were forced to give
UP to the Ukrainians.

TOTAL COLLAPSE THREATENS.
BY Fred 8. Ferguson, Uaited Press
Staff CORRESPONDENT.

Paris. March 25-The world faces an
infinitely more serious situation today
tina 1t did a eer ago when the Ger
man super offensive was at its height,
according TO the belief expressed in
certain official quarters. This, despite
the fact that the armistice was signed
five months ago, end the peace confer
encc has been In session three months.
Instead Of military defeat, it Is eco
nomic, financial. and social collapse
that Is now threatening. Economic eX-
perts agree that every day lost in sign
ing peace brings the general crisis that
much nearer.
There was q tendency today, in fact,
to regard HunSary's action In forming
q soviet republic in ullianee with the
Russian b~olsheVists, and declaring war
on the allies as, meaning theorists al
ready has been reached. There was no
disposition to hide tie belief that the
, menace Of bol3hevism has been in
creased 100 fold by the new situation in
Hungary.
"A year ago everyone in the world
a at work." said one Of the leading
economic and financial authorities. III

! ducing. In addition, patriotic impulse

| ments had control and everyone had to

headed for stagnation and disorder, un-

Conference In Middle.
an the meantime, the peace confer
: ence Is In the worst muddle since it
opened. The hour OF decisions having
arrived, II can be state that the situa-
ton Is as follows:
There Is q constant tendency to
DRAG In extraneous questions. Fol in
stance the Syrian question was taken
up and General Alienby was brought
from Egypt to discuss it. although the
Syrian problem has no bearing what
ever on peace with Germany. The
question of territorial rights in Dali
| malta Is constantly bobbing up, al
tho ,~h 1t Is purely one for inter- allied
settlement.
The Polish question, has been mis-
handled. The war council Saturday

Paris, March 25-A conference Of the
premiers was called today to be held
at 8 o'clock his afternoon to arrange
for the program Of the supreme council

Hungary and Poland was expected to

Plan to Act Quickly.
The peace conference has been ad-
vised by entente agents of the critical
situation in Hungary. Some street
fighting In Budapest has been reported
and, while the lives of entente na
tionals are said still to be safe, It Is
urged that they need the protection

Observers believe tho allies, seeing

Consider Occupation.
sHungary's alliance with the bolshe-
