Kenyon Charges Renewed.
Wholesale Grocers Are

Renewed charges that the big meat
packers were engaged in propaganda
for defeat of pending legislation for
the regulation and licensing of their
industry caused a lively debate today
in the Senate
Grocers for It, Mr.. Smoot Says.
Senator Kenyon. republican. of Iowa,
author of the legislation, again as
serted that the packers were stimu-

while Senator Smoot, republican,
Utah, declared the National Whole
sale Grocers' Association was just as
active in propaganda in its support.
Senator Kenyon entered denial, de-
claring the wholesale erocerS were

Senator Sherman. republican, Illinois,

White House Silent
on Presidents Course
in Shantunq Affair

Inquiry at the White House today
concerning published reports that the
Shantung provision of the peace treaty
was President Wilson's personal solu-
ton of the problem brought neither con-
firmation nor denial and only the state
ment that no comment would be made.
Senators who have discussed the
Shantung provision with the President
stated. however, that they had not been
given to understand that the President
proposed the Shantung provision as a
resolution of the problem, but that he
had found himself unable to convert
the Japanese delegates to any other
view.
The senators said they had been told
that Premiers Clemenceau and LLOYD
George represented to the President
that they were bound by the agreements
of their governments with Japan, and
that if the japanese statesmen were to
be converted to any other views the
PRESIDENT himself would have to under
take the attempt. 1t was futile, the
senators said they were told.
