feed AMERICA FIRST, ;"
KING SWOPE'S SLOGAN
Kentucky's New Representative
Makes First Speech in Washing
ton at Trinity Forum.

King Swope. recently elected repre-
sentative from Kentucky. and an ex-
soldier who saw service overseas. in
his first public address in Washing
ton last night at the Trinity Civic
Forum suggested that the best meth
DDS of reducing the cost Of living
would be to feed America first" and
to "jail profiteers." The large audi
torium of Trinity Church. at Sd and
C streets, was taxed to its capacity
with men and women who turned out
to hear the young lawmaker and gave
him a royal welcome.
Other speakers were District Com
missioner BroYnlow and e. c. Morse,
first assistant director Of sales in the
War Department.
/ Sould Help Europe.
Mr.. Swope said that stricken Europe
should be helped with food supplies.
but that America should see that she
herself is first fed. He stated that
in his opinion the chief reason for
the high price: ., was the large large agan- In;n
ped across the Atlantic. The coun-
try's duty, he said, was to feed Amer
lea first before it attempted to feed
the world.
He expressed the opinion that the
early return of men from the service
and productive. work would help to
bring about normal conditions.
Turning to the question of profiteer-
ing, Mr.. Swope said that the 5ails
are the only places for profiteers.
thus eliminating their opportunity to
mulct the public Of their money.
Commissioner Brownlow Speaks.
Commissioner Brownlow explained
in detail the -prof1teering bill
drawn up by the District Commits
sioners and introduced in Congress.
Mr.. Brownlow asserted that the only
way to stop profiteering was to give
some one the definite power to stop it.
E c. Morse said that the War De-
partment had extended itself in an
effort to furnish food supplies to va
rious sections of the country for dis
tribution among consumers at rea-
sonable prices. He stated that the de-
partment had so rushed the work
that there was accomplished in three
weeks what ordinarily would take
three months to do. The delay In
sales, he said. was due to the fact
that there were a number of ship
ments- ts-transshipments of foodstuffs
across country to provide an equal
distribution in various communities.

c. O.P. IN HOUSE PASSES
| TUNGSTEN TARIFF BILL
Imposes $40 a Unit or $500 q Ton
on Crude Ore-Causes Five
Hour Debate.

! The republican majority of the
| House. by strict party vote, passed
] yesterday the second of the tarin
measures. This would impose a tariff
of $40 unit or $500 ton on crude
tungsten ore and 81 pound on ferro-
| tungsten and other tungsten salts.
During debate on the bill one i'm
portant paragraph came close to be-
| ing eliminated. In order to hold the
| floor in a contest against Representa-
| tive Blanton of Texas. Representative
ITreadway, a republican member of the
ways and means committee, moved to
strike out the paragraph. When he
| had relinquished the floor the demo-
cratic leaders insisted upon a vote on
that motion, and the republicans had
around for absent members. They
saved the paragraph by a scant eight
votes.
Old-Fashioned Debate Staged.
BY an amendment to- the bill. i'm
ported stocks now held in the United
States would be taxed the difference
between their cost and $17 a unit, the
price .level to which the republican
proponents said the bill would raise
crude tungsten.
/ Final action on the bill by a vote
of III to 1872 followed five hours Of
old fashioned debate on the divergent
views of republicans and democrats
on the tariff. Mr.. Witchin and Demo-
cratic Leader Clark doing most of the
speaking for the minority. Mr.. Kitch-
/ in contended the bill would give a
| monopoly to a few big producing COM
panieS, and exact unnecessarily h1gh
prices, but Representative Fordney,
Michigan, and other republicans said
the measure was needed to protect
American labor standards, and pro-
mote an industry developed through
war necessity.

HANDS OFF POLICY
VOICED in SENATE
Senator FernaId Makes Pro-

was made yesterday by Senator Fer

ate. Stamping the Kenyon and Ken

regulation now under discussion. as
examples Of Sitting, throttling legis-
lation," he declared his opposition to
them, said they were extensions OF
the policy which had failed in the
transportation and communication in
dustries. and predicted that the public
would suffer from higher costs and
poorer service should they be enacted
I cannot believe the Senate Of the
United States feels, after the expert
ence we have had with government
control Of railroads. telegraph and
telephone lines, that the policy should
be continued" Senator Fernald said
1t would certainly lead to chaos and
commercial bankruptcy.
Defending the packers, Senator Fer
nald said their business had to be con-
Quoted in large units in order to be
economical. Their development of re-
frigerator cars and ownership OF
stockyards, like their utilization of
dHiuidl Dy-pTOOuCtS, constituted val
liable service.
Viewed in Another Light.
ITO my way Of thinking" he said,
tho discovery made by the packers that
by-products that were thrown away could
be utilized is one of the great achieve
ments of modern times. When the
proposition to curb the packing in
dustry is viewed in its proper light
think it will be found that the present
organization of the industry really
meets the needs of the situation in
this country and result in efficiency"
He attacked the Federal Trade Com
mission for questionable methods" IN
its investigation and report on the
packers. and said that it had very
largely lost sight of it's function to
aid and guide business.
Complaints of wholesale grocers
that the packers were entering their
field in the sale of perishable foods
he classed as unjustified, with the
remark that the same complaint
might be made against the grocers
for handling drugs, hardware and
other goods out of their line.

Idealisrn

We cannot get away from idealism
any more than we can from charac-
ter, nor from an idealism based on
knowledge. The problem will be as
it always has been, one of making 1t
helpful and fruitful, and enlisting 1t In
the service of man. 1t cannot serve
man except through other men, and as
applied by them. The greatest ideal
ever revealed to the world was the
ideal of service. There could have
been none greater. Christian people
certainly will not deny this. for II Is
one Of the basic truths of their re-
ligion. Idealism, service and obedl-
ence, therefore, all 60 together. and
are all necessary elements Of sym
metrical character. They will not lose
their Importance or value. We cannot
think of men living together in civil
lied society without them. For. lack
ing them, men would not be men, and
society would not be civilized.-Bos-

Industry throughout the world must

that following the war re-equipped

special concessions from employers
or those with whom they work shoul-
der to shoulder. The world is not go-

objects of pity and charity. That, too,
belongs to the old order Of things.
In the readjustment Of every ma
