FOOD RELIEF BILL STILL HANGS FIRE;
 PASSAGE TODAY IS
 BELIEVED CERTAIN
Polls Taken by Leaders Yes terday Show Only 20 Votes in Opposition to Meas ure Asked by the
 President
By Associated Press

Washington, January B. Passage tomorrow of the ad- ministration bill for food relief in Europe was predicted tonight by leading advocates and oIpo nents after another day of de- bate which proceeded with only a few members in their seats.
 Very few speeches are expected tomor row and polls taken by leaders today were said to have showed only about 70 votes in opposition to the measure.
 The bipartisan support for the bill was further indicated today. Speakers urging passage of the measure included Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, democrat, chair man of the foreign relations committee, and Senator Smoot of Utah, and Kellogg of Minnesota, republicans. Principal op ponents in the days debate were Senators Cummns of Iowa and sherman of Iui- nois, republicans.
 Declaring that the proposed appropri- ation was not for charity. Senator Hitch- cock urged the Senate to aid President Wilson and his work at the peace cons ference by voting the fund.
 It's rejection, he declared, would Ina volve repudiation of America S represent- atives.
 HOOVER HIGHLY PRAISED
 Food Administrator Hooveg. who has been severely attacked by opponents or the bill was highly praised by Sena- tor Hitchcock and also by Senator Smoot. The Nebraska senator said attacks on Mr. Hoover were nstabs in the back" and he joined Senator Smoot in commencing the food adminstration's work in fixin, live stock and meat prices, declaring both consumers and producers had been pro tected.
 Senator Cumuins in opposing the bil declared that it commits the American government to policy of international- ism and guardianship Of European na- tions, while Senator Sherman asserted that part of the money would be used to feed Russian bolshevsts
 Complete elimination of Germany as military factor ip the world was advo- cated by Senator Cummins, who argued that with Germany impotent to attack lany nation. league of nations would oa unnecessary. He said Germany should be denied an army and navy and De required to pay indemnities for the ruin wrought by her forces on land, on the sea and in the air.
 Senator sherman declared the proposed appropriation was not a relief fund but "a campaign fund.- and he referred to President Wilson as "a knight errant in Europe fighting windmills."
 The Illinois senator said the agreement on a Russian policy reached at Paris pro- tinn of hn hole ernment and in this connection he in- weighed against socialist propaganda which, ne said. was being forwarded by professors in nearly every American col lege. Denouncing these professors as "firebrands of sedtion' Senator Sherman said some men of their type were att tached to the American peace mission.

 MT. Stevenson also said evidence exists that Germans in the United States have begun a postwar propaganda with view to exerting an influence which would make the peace terms imposed on Germany less onerous.

Abbott of New York. was head of the school for the teaching of radicalism.

 ''The element that is furthering radi- calism here is the same element that is fighting American soldiers in Russia. " said the witness. They can be said to be the same for Reed and Williams are their representatives in this country.
 Asked by Senator Overman for rem edy for bolsheVism MT. stevenson said ne would recommend deportation or alien agitators, punishment under law spect' ealiy drawn for that purpose of Ameri cans who advocated revolution, barring from the country the ultra radical pub.

 8v Associafe Press

Paris, January 23.--Whether the ef- fort of the great powers to tranquil ize Russia was to succeed or fail was still in the balance tonight. No reply had come from the bolsheviki or from any other faction, and as the wireless message 'embodying the proposal of the associated powers was not sent until ? o'clock this morning. some days may intervene before anything definite IS known
 In the meantime prominent anti- bolshevik leaders in Paris are not clear on their course, and the first reports that they were favorable to the plan have been followed by statement by such leaders as Sergius Sazonoff that they would not sit at the table with as- sassins
 The semi official Temps also asserts that the supreme councils proposal "permits traitors who withdrew Rus sia from the war and turned the entire German strength against France to be received on the same footing as the faithful"
 The American and British delegates feel however, that the proposal was the only course open.
 Information reaching the allies in dicates that the bolsheviki have a DOW erful army in which discipline is be- ing enforced. In view of this informa : tion one of the premiers pointed out today that the bolsheviki could only be combated by a large number of allied troops, which would have to be on the spot immediately, whereas none of the governments could ask people already wearied by war to un- dertake another large military expedi-
