U. S.-FRENCH PACT
DIVIDES The SENATE
OPPOSITION TO LEAGUE OF MA
TIONS, HOWEVER, is MORE
PRONOUNCED IN SENATE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Consider-
able opposition to the Anglo-French-
American alliance is expected when
the United States senate is called up
on to ratify the pact. 1t is pointed
out by leaders of the opposition that
by article l of the American-French
treaty "the United States of Amer
lea will be bound to come to the aid
of France Immediately" while arti-
Gle l of the Anglo-French agreement
only says: England consents to
come" etc. With the United States
solemnly "bound" but with England
only "consenting" to help to keep
France it is felt by many that there
is an unequal division of response
bility.
Less Opposed Than League.
At the same time there seems to be
less hostility to the alliance than to
the league of nations, and admins
tration supporters confidently pre-
dicted its ratification.
Senator Borah, Idaho, however
thought at least one-third of the sen
ate would line up against the treaty
and prevent its ratification. Those OPP
posing the league cf nations on the
ground that the United States should
stay out of all entangling engage
ments with European nations would
stand solidly against the treaty of al
lance, he predicted.
The strong feeling of friendship
for France will be an important fac
tor in the ratification fight. This feel
ing will go long way toward break
ing down the traditional antipathy tC
entering into alliances with foreign
powers

COFFEE MAY SOAR
HIGHER AND HIGHER
OUTLOOK is NOT VERY HOPE
Full TO THE CONSUMER. BIG
DEALER ON THE ADVANCE.

CHICAGO.-The American house
wife, already grumbling over the
price of coffee, may have further
complaint to make in the next few
months, for the outlook is anything
but hopeful for the consumer, ac-
cording to big dealers here.
Eyes, there are good reasons for
the unprecedented prices of today"
said leading dealer to the Assoclat-
ed Press. "Of course, it is difficult
to make the public understand. 1t
is true that there is enough coffee to
go round. But there won't be a big
surplus, and besides it will be hard
to make distribution uniform.
Everybody knows of the frost IN
Brazil year ago. The cry of short
crop through weather damage had
come from Brazil year after year
and American dealers came to ignore
it. Last year the damage was not
false alarm. The normal crop of H.
100000 bags, weighing 1872 pounds
each, will be reduced this year to s.
100000 Some authorities estimate
as low as 100000. Brazil has sur
plus of 100000 bags, but the crop
of 1920 is also going to be short be-
cause of that frost, and the surplus
may not suffice. We have just learned
the true extent of the frost damage"
G. E. Mckinney, considered lead
ing authority on the coffee market,
explained that stocks held in the
United States now are lighter than IN
many years. He said dealers refused
to listen to the story of big damage
and instead of buying let their stocks
diminish while waiting for reduced
prices.
The retail price of As to 55 cents
pound for grades is few cents
/ higher than the record price imme-
diately after the civil war. The pres
ent wholesale price is about 27 cents,
| it was stated. The lowest price ever
recorded was in 1908. when coffee
could be purchased wholesale at 3 y
cents a pound. The retail price to-
day in coffee growing countries is
about 10 cents a pound.
/ Buyers from France and England
are said to have made big purchases
! in Brazil In the past three centuries
they have traded mostly with Central
American dealers. Germany and Aus
tria, the two biggest coffee drinking
countries in Europe, also are to be-
come large buyers when restrictions
are removed, it was stated.
Prohibition probably will make
coffee a more popular drink" he said.
''For instance, when vodka was ia
ken from the Russians they began to
buy tea so rapidly it was difficult to
get tea in this country"
Proceeding on this theory the
planters Of Sac Paulo, the big coffee
growing state of Brazil, have raised
fund of S1,00O,0O0 to be spent in
advertising coffee in the United
States in the next four years.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
is CHARGED TO GOVERNMENT

approval to the order withholding
the goods after Quartermaster Gen
eral Rogers, who, having returned
from France in February, was about
to sell the vegetables to the public,
Colonel Davis testified.
Millions of pounds of meat and
canned vegetables held by the war
department are deteriorating, while
the American people need every
ounce of food" C. W. Hare, director
of sales for the department, told the
committee.
This food, he said, consists Of
100000 pounds of bacon; $780,
900 pounds ham; $50,000,000 worth
of canned meats; $100,000,0 1000
worth of canned vegetables.
1t was held for months, he testified,
while war department officers were
trying to figure out if it was more
than the army needed, and could be
sold. When sale was finally determin-
ed on, Mr.. Hare declared, only half
hearted efforts were made, and there
were few bidders.
The food was sold to the govern
ment by the packers, he said, who
refuse to take it back at a decent
price" Now the rapid deterioration
of the foodstuffs will force a sale of
them below cost, he testified. Efforts
to sell the food to Herbert Hoover
for distribution to starving Euro
peans failed, and attempts to export
it were unsuccessful.
Present plans are to market most
of it in this country, Mr.. Hare said,
where "there is need for every
ounce"
He admitted that at one time can
ners conferred with war department
officials, who agreed to keep millions
of can of vegetables off market by
adding them to the regular army ra-
ton after the armistice. He said it
was a "tair inference" that these
vegetables were added to the ration
to protect Gamers from competition,
and not because the soldiers needed
them.
Regarding the efforts to sell the
surplus food to Mr.. Hoover Mr. Hare
said:
"No one on the relief commission
could be interested.
Mr. Hoover bought at higher price
about 100000 pounds of meat fol
European relief which was of bet
ter quality than the ration of the
! American soldier permit"
The witness stated that Herber
Hoover, in spending $100,000,000 fol
foreign food relief, bought meats
owned by Italy in this country a
higher prices than he could have OBJ
tanned the surplus meats of the wa
department. Mr.. Hoover refused t.
buy the war department food, Mr.
Hare said.
Big Loss on Ham.
Regarding the forced sale of l.,
487, 900 pounds of mouldy hams a
Norfolk, Va, which had cost the gov
eminent As or SO cents pound, Col
onel Davis testified that the lot wa'
sold for 20 cents a pound, but tina
he knew nothing as to why they hat
not been sold before undergoing sucl
deterioration

Herbert Hoover Is Accused of Spend

Large SURPRISES of Food Still Held
By Army Are Threatened by Ruin.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The war
departments holding of thousands of
tons of food supplies until six months
after the armistice was signed before
making any effort to sell them to the
public has been ''most important
factor in maintaining the high cost
of LIVING" Chairman Reavis, of the
special house subcommittee to in
vestigate quartermaster supplies, de-
clared today after the testimony of
C. Willing Hare, of Philadelphia, di-
rector of war department sales, be-
fore the committee.
at is amazing that with the peo-
pie of the country needing food and
the government needing the money
the war department should have held
its huge supplies of food in storage
all this time" said Mr.. Reavis. cit
certainly kept up the market price of
many necessaries."
