Supporters Of Fall Amend
ments eoncede Inability to
Pass Measures and Do Not
/. Ask for Roll Call.
PLAN VOTE ON LAST TWO
PROPOSALS NEXT WEEK
Senate Will Get Down to
Real Work of Drafting
Ratification Resolution as
Soon as Possible.

Washington, Oct. 17.-After a
brief debate and without the formal
ity of a record vote, the senate to-
day threw out two more of the
amendments written into the peace
treaty by the foreign relations COM
lnittee..
The two amendments had been
introduced by Senator Fall. repub-
lican, New Mexico, and had as their
common purpose curtailment of the
power of the American representa-
tive on the reparations commission,
an international body set up by the
treaty to fix and collect Gerinany's
reparation bill.
The vote came sooner than had
been expected, the leaders agreeing
to it as part of a plan to complete
the consideration of amendments as
soon as possible so that the senate
might get down to the real work Of
drafting a ratification resolution.
Only two of the committees 4o
amendments now remain to be con-
sidered, and it is |. ned to bring
rigSn to a vote early st week.
They both relate to equali2a, m of
voting strength in the league Of
nations.
House May Appear.
Action on the two Fall amend
ments came near the end of a ses-
sion which had been enlivened by a
sharp debate over the dispatch of
American troops to Europe for
service in connection with the Sile-
sian plebiscite and by a new move
from administration quarters to
meet the objections of Irish-Ameri-
cans to the league covenant. Dur.
ing the day some progress was made
in the formal reading of the treaty
text, and the foreign relations COM
mittee took under advisement an
offer from Col. E. M. House to ap-
pear before it.
In anticipation of roll cali both
sides had mustered their forces in
the senate chamber as the time for
action on the Fail amendments ap-
preached. AS the question was put,
however. Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, the administration leader,
asked Senator Fall whether it was
his purpose to request a roll call, and
the New Mexico senator replied that
it would be useless, since he real
ized the measures would be beaten.
In quick succession the two votes
were taken by acclamation, no one
asking for count.
The only speeches made on the
amendments were by Senator Fall

HIGH COST FOR FOOD
 IS NOT QUE ID THE
 FARMERS PROflTEER
Hoover Tells British People That Guaranteed Wheat Price Affords Producers Small Margin.

London, Dec 30.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press. ---Herbert c. Hoover, American Food Admins trator, on his visit to England as sured the people of this country that the high cost of food was not due to any profteering by farmers in the United States. The statement he is- sued to the British press shows that the guaranteed price of grain to. the American farmer not only is smaller than the guarantee to the British farmer but the Americans yield is fifty per cent less an acre. If the British shipping rate, Mir. Hoover said had increased only pro rata to the American farmers increase, the cost of wheat in Eng and would be about $23 quarter of 480 pounds, instead Of the present $26.75.
 "l keenly realize" Mr. Hoover said "how hard the present price levels pecially upon the allied peoples, whose economic wage plane is much below that in the United States. So far as the United States is concerned, it is not a matter of protiteering, but is one of deep complexity of economic forces and provision for world neces- sities," He cited table indicating the comparative levels before and after the establishment of war con- trols by the United States govern nfent of prices of wheat, hogs, maize, oats, sugar, steel and copper, adding that "prices have been invariably the same to the allies as to our own con- snmers and our own government
 "rhe high price levels, however, created before we entered the war; thee statement continued, caused our labor and other food production costs to increase by leaps and bounds, and to prevent any return during the war to 1914 levels.'
 After discussing factors other than American conditions which have in- creased the cost of food to the allies, particularly overseas transport, he noted that feed prices paid to the English farmer were about seventy
 'r ttan the prices realiz-
 hnerican farmer for oats and barley.
 ''l am in hopes," he said, that the freezing of the seas from war losses may render it possible quickly to re- duce sea charges to at least the same ratio of increase as the American farmer receives"
 Profteering and speculation in pork have been removed in the states, Mr. Hoover told the British people, by government control of the packing houses. He added
 'In broad view l am certain that our agricultural margins are so low
 ten per cent reduction in price to our farmers would stife our pro- duction to the extinction of our conse- quential export surpluses. This mar zine of ten per cent is the price that our own consumers and your con- sumers pay for stimultion of produc- tion. Our American consumers right fully but cheerfully feel that we are taking from them this extra ten per cent in prices in order that we may take our part in carrying this world burden. As I view the worlds food assets this moment, l am convinced that the extra marginal surplus from the United States is of priceless value to the immensity of human life at stake between now and next har- vest.'
