Treaty Delay Harmful
Measures which .swill remove the

at this point the president made
bis most extensive reference to- the
peace treaty BY saying the causes for
Tie unrest fare superfieiai rather
than "deep-seated. and that they
.sarise from OF, are connected with the;
failure on the paaS Four government
to arrive speedily at a just and per-
manent peace permitting return to
normal conditions, from the transfu-
sion cf radical theories from seeth-
ing European centers pending such
delay, from 7heartless prof ofiteering re-
sulting from the increase Of the; cost
Of living, and lastly from the ,nachi-
nations Of passionate and maleyolent
agitators. With the return to normal
conditions this unrest will rapidly
disappear" q .,9;:ss5 u q ~ B. i
The president renewed his recorn-
mendations Tor legislation to deal ef-
fectively with 1thoss persons who BY
violent methods would abrogate orr
time-tested institutions. 81: 4
[, Several Recommendations, some re-
newals Of previous ones, were made
BY the preEdent to bring down the
cost Of living. Among them were ex-
tension Of the food control law to
peace times for the emergency; reg
ulations for transportation Of foods
in interstate commerce; a cold stor-
age lay modelled after the law in New
Jersey; a law requiring marks to show
the length Of time foods are kept in
storage and a law to secure Com
petitive selling and prevent uncon-
scionable profits" by federal license
Of corporations selling food in inter-
state commerce.
A long portion Of the message was
devoted to a discussion Of the condi-
tion and rights Of labor. GA definite
to bring about an improve
ment in the conditions Of labor" and
bring about "a genuine democratiza-
ton Of industry" was recommended.
"The only way to keep men from
agitating against grievances is to re-
move the grievances" said the presi-
dents message. At another point it
declared "the seed Of revolution, is
repression"
Activities of Reds
"The establishment of the princi-
pies regarding labor, laid down in the
covenant Of the League Of Nations"
said the message, "offers US the way
to industrial peace and conciliation.
No other road lies open to us. Gov
ernments must recognize the right Of
men to bargain collectively for
humane objects Labor must
no longer be treated as commodity.

PROVIDE FOR RETENTION
 OF EXPLOSIVES

WASHINGTON, July (P)-Ap- bearing before the committee appoint ed by the house of representatives to investigate the war expenditures. Colonel A. Stuart. superintendent of the ordnance field service, stated a large amount of high explosives would be kept in reserve by the war department.
 Colonel Stuart said there is now on hand ninety-five million tons of the explosive which was left over by the signing of the armistice. The government has invested a large sum of money in this material and the war department officials believe to sell it would mean a big financial loss. Un- der the new plans, just formed by the the explosive will be kept in reserve for possible future use
 The government contracted for the manufacture of this explosive, said the colonel before the armistice was signed and it was delivered prior to the cessation of hostilities. Col onel Stuart was called before the committee to testify regarding eXpen ditures in the ordnance departmen of the army and also to state just what was to be done with the immense quantity of ordnance now on hand.
