HOUSEWIVES FORCE
FOOD PRICE PROBE

Housewives protests against the
high cost Of living are reaching Con
rress in such numbers that an investi-
cation is being planned today.
Senator AISLE Gronna Of North Da-
kots. chairman Of the Senate Agricul-
ture Committee. stated today that an
Investigation Of the packing Industry
will be undertaken by his committee
as soon as appropriation bills are out
OF the way.
The Kendrick bill providing for
Government regulation Of the packers
will be made the vehicle for the in
yestiEation. which will be broad in
Its scope and will include not only
an inquiry into the cost OF meats, but
will also include foodstuffs. The
Kenyon bill, which is also before Con
Eress. provides for regulation of large
firms dealing in foodstuffs. and hear
ings on this bill will make the investl-
cation a general probe OF food costs.
That there is a movement through
cut the country among housewives
for governmental steps to reduce liv-
ing costs is evident from the large
number of protests being received
each day by the members of Congress.
Senators and Congressman are flood
ed with letters asking that an inves-
tiEation be made. and these letters
have come in such numbers that their
pressure is being made evident in
Congress.
The proposed investigation will ex-
tend not only to the large packing
firms which have been Investigated
before by Congress and other govern
mental departments. but will also in
clude some OF the smaller firms The
recently formed combine or associa-
lion of Independent packers will come
under the inquiry. Members of Con
gress look with doubt upon the new
association and fear that ii may be a
move on the part OF the large pack
ing interests TO gather under one
head all Of the opposition which they
have had in the past.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Gencral Torcum,
head of the Armenian Military Com
mission. which also has been engaged
in political activities since its arrival
in London, has presented to the Brit
ish government note outlining the
claims of the Armenian people. These
claims include the immediate recogni-
tion of the independence Of Armenia,
the reunion of all Armenian troops
serving with the Allies in one corps
under Allied officers to serve as new
Armenian army, the formation of an
Armenian government with Armenian
ministers and Allied counsellors and
the imposition of a general indemnity
upon the enemy to be expended under
the control of an inter-Allied commits
sion for the formation of new Ar
menian army, the reconstruction Of
Armenian homes and the support Of
Armenian refugees in the Caucasus,
Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt
The new Armenia, it is claimed,
should extend from the Mediterranean
to the Black Sea and from the Halls
to the kowia River Armenia, it is
added, should have an equal place at

nations.
