But now the people are tired of these po-

are anxious to see not only treaty
signed, but peace Itself In action. The
text of the treaty is not as important
for them as the spirit which will inspire
Its application.

Issued to the press n publicity state
ment with reference to the sale of meats
and vegetables. This statement pro-
vded that meat and vegetables shall be
purchased by the municipalities, the
municipalities to pay the freight from
the nearest warehouse and TO have ten
days in which to make payment TO the
Government.
This plan adopted by tho Govern
ment Will not result In the sale of these
products TO any great extent for the
reason that most municipalities, which
have Indicated a desire to purchase this
food for the benefit OF their people, have
been met with the threat of injunction
on the part OF local dealers; which
threat has been sufficient to prevent
purchase of the goods.
This subcommittee makes recon-
mendation that these food supplies be
sold without delay on the domestic
market to the American people, who, at
great sacrifice bought and paid for them,
and the subcommittee looks with dis
favor on the policy of exporting them
from American to foreign nations for
sale and consumption.
THE subcommittee further recon-
mends that plans be devised by the
Secretary of War through the War De-
partment for the early disposition of all
surplus food productions on the domestic
markets under a system which will
grant to the American people an op-
portunity to secure the same for food

vacillation, was responsible for the for
mer's fall. Expressing conditions Just
prior to the overthrow of the Kerensky
government. the witness said:
The Bolsheviki had bad habit Of
getting hold of arrpored cars, armored
automobiles and running them through
the streets OF Fetrosrad and carrying
on disorderly shooting. and when I read
recently about the way some OF the ne
groes were behaving down at Washing
ton. II reminded me very much of the
Bolshevist tactics of the same kind at
Petrograd."
In Russia to-day, however, a person
must either openly espouse the cause of
Bolshevisrn or at least must be tacitly
satisfied with IL. In addition to the
propaganda there was a system OF CO.
pionage. the witness explained.
IF you expressed one word OF criti-
cism of the Bolsheviki," he~ said, "the
next thing you knew was that you
would be visited by n squad, and IL that
squad did not feel ut that moment that

This policy finds expression not only
in the testimony given to the subcom-
mlttee by the officers OF the War De-
partment but in documentary evidence
as we'll. As an Instance Of such inten-
ton to prevent the American people from
purchasing these products the Quarter
master Generals Department through
Gen. r. f. Wood. Q. NJ. e., entered
into an agreement with the Gamers
Association that some 200 10000 cans
OF vegetables would be kept or the do
mestic market during this season. This
agreement was extended by an order OF
the Quartermas ter- General adding these
canned vegetables to the soldiers ration
in the expressed hope that they would be
entirely consumed and that none would
DO left for sale.
This order would have resulted in a
loss to the Government OF millions of
dollars to be derived from the sale OF
this surplus, as we'll as depriving the
American people Of a large quantity of
food.
