Shall u. S. Control
OF Food Continue?

WASHINGTON, Tar 1.-THE ne
cessity of continuing the power OF
the food administration in some form
or other is a question that is receiv-
ing much discussion at present in the
national capital. Many views are ex-
pressed. Some believe that these
powers should be transferred to the
department of agriculture: some think
THAT the department of labor should
inherit them. and the federal trade
commission Is also mentioned. The
food administration itself, in the abb
sence Of Mr.. Hoover, has nothing to
say on the subject.
Congress also is silent on his inn
pCrtant question. although congress
will eventually decide it. Unless the
necessary legislation is passed before
the president declares that the war
Is over. the food administration will
simply cease to be. 1t will die q nat
oral death. And the consumers will
be the chief mourners, Thousands
of letters are now pouring into the
~headuarters of the food administra-
tion here. complaining that prices
have suddenly jumped i'm many To-
caIities subsequent to the signing of
the armistice, and expressing the hope
that at least the air price lists will
rot be discontinued with the declara-
tiCn of peace.
