The cost of living continued to
color much of the debate in con-
gress today.
Republican Leader Mondell of the
house said today he believed con-
gress would adopt the presidents
suggestion and amend the food con-
troll act so as to make it apply to
other necessities.
This view is said to reflect the
attitude of the majority in the house,
at least. Mr.. Mondell said there
was some opposition to the attorney
generals request that the treasury's
secret service force be made avail
able for the job of breaking up
prOtlteering.

Peace Questions Bring

To Adjust Finances.
Washington, Aug. l3.-Questions
arising out of the peace settlement
which Bonar Law announced in
the House of Commons today would
require the attention of Viscount
Grey, the new British ambassador
to the United States, are understood
here to include readjustment of the
complicated financial relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States growing out Of loans and
credits advanced by America.
There also must be an almost i'm
mediate recaating of many existing
treaties between the two countries,
necessitated by the radical changes
following the war Many of these
conventions date back for more than
century and were said by officials
to have been applied to modern con-
ditions only by the exercise of the
greatest liberality of construction.
The La Toilette shipping law swept
away completely one treaty relating
to the rights and duties of sailors
and port authorities and this never
has, been replaced.
Many Issues Early in War.
In the early days OF the war there
were many issues between the State
department and the British foreign
office growing out of interference
with American commerce by British
warships and British orders in coun-
Gil and the many claims for dam
ages by American ship owners and
merchants pending when the United
States entered the war still techni-
cally are open. Viscount Grey was
the British secretary for foreign
affairs when these issues arose and
conducted the negotiations for his
government.
There has been a suggestion, too,
that conditions in Mexico were such
as. to demand consideration on an
international basis in view of the
large interests of foreign investors
and especially British, in that coun-
try. For number of years the
British government has refrained
from enforcing demands upon Mex
;co for reparation for the killing of
British subjects and for heavy mon
etary losses inflicted upon British
individuals, preferring to leave to
the United States the adoption of
measures to meet these conditions,
1t is believed now that one of the
first duties of Viscount Grey will
be to attempt permanent settle
nent of the British issues with the
Mexican government after reaching
a satisfactory understanding with
the American State department.
Washington Satisfied.
Announcement that Viscount Grey
was to come to Washington was re-
ceived with keen qualification by
Secretary Lansing and other Amer
ican officials, who had had dealings
with him either personally in Eu-
rope or through correspondence
There was regret, however, that
Viscount Grey's service in Washing
Ton was to be only temporary as it
was felt that the successful treat
lnent of the many important inter-
national subjects which will devolve
upon the new ambassador could be
BEST assured only through reason
ably permanent tenure in office of
the negotiators.

the long treaty fight. This predic-
ton was by no means unanimous
however. Some republican members
of the committee believe they
should have more information be-
fore they act, and two of them,
Senator's Johnson of California and
Borah of Idaho, wrote a letter to
Chairman Lodge today asking that
General Bliss, Colonel House and
others connected with the Versailles
negotiations be asked to appear be-
fore the committee.
The general expectation was,
however, that the committee would
not change its plans to proceed to a
decision on the treaty and that out
side the committee events might
shape up even more rapidly. After
they heard from the democrats to-
day the reservation republicans be
gan a poll to ascertain just how
many of their party they could count
on in their negotiations. An early
adjournment of the senate inter
rupted the move, but within day or
two they expect to have a more
definite idea of their strength.
1t was asserted there had been
several additions to the group, but
no senator has publicly announced
mis- adherence to the plan since 1t
was agreed on by the original seven
senators. McCumber, North Dako-
ia; McNary, Oregon; Kellogg, Min
nesota; Colt, Rhode Island; Cum
mins, Iowa; Lenroot, Wisconsin and
Spencer, Missouri.
Basis of Hope Not Known.
The exact basis for their hope
that Senator Lodge will join in the
movement was not revealed by the
reservation leaders. 1t was pointed
out, however, that in his address to
the senate yesterday, he did not

will come up tomorrow. Senators

ORGANIZE A UNION FOR
THE NoN-UNIoN MEN

We have always had a profound
sympathy for the working man, be.
cause of the fact that we belong to
that class of the "genus homo" Fur
thermore, we have felt that unioniz-
ed labor was justifable from the fact
that every other business was organ
lied for the mutual benefit of those in
terested in that special line Of en-
deavor. But like every other enter
prise that has made demands, and that
has had those demands acceded to,
it seems as if organized lavor has
functioned too far and has made de-
mands that are forcing conditions up
on the country that will, if carried out,
produce alarming distress to millions
of innocent men, women and children.
It is true that corporate wealth has
meath the upper and neither millstones
been grinding the working man be-
meath the upper and neither millstones
of industrial slavery until conditions
in some sections have become unbear-
able, but it is not that class of peo-
pie who are demanding so much at
thi slime, but it is the class of work
ers in the country.
Our Government has waited too
long to investigate the "High Cost of
Living" It is the Unsuitable desire of
profteers that has caused revolt
among the workers, but this revolt
is not right, in as much as millions of
innocent people will be made to suffer,
when an understanding could be
reached without any violence.
It is about time that we organize
a union of non union men, for the
purpose of properly adjusting all of
these questions that so vitality effect
the masses.-LaGrange Graphic.

OFFICIAL RED CROSS NOTES

Continued from page one)
and administer this foreign relief the
Red Cross must raise at this fund
of $15,000,000, DR.. Farrand stated.
"The Red Cross authorities realize
that the astonishing generosity of the
American people during the war and
the present high cost of living at home
might legitimately lead many to ex-
pect a release from further demands
for assistance to other peoples" ocn-
tinued DIR. Farrand, "but we must
remember that our allies were much
harder hit by thes war than were we
and that we have incurred obliga-
tions to them which honor demands
shall be discharged. In naming the
sum of $15,000,000, the Red Cross
has tried to determine the smallest
amount which will enable it to round
out it's work and make effective the
appropriation of army goods rather
than to estimate the generosity OF
thesAmerican people"
In conclusion DR.. Farrand said:
sit is believed that the end of our
foreign obligations is in sight and,
accordingly, the Red Cross is turning
it's chief attention and energy to the
development of clearly defined home
program which already includes sys-
tematic preparedness for disaster re-
lief, widespread nursing plan, con-
tinuing home service operations, first
aid instruction, and Junior Red
Cross program, all of which will de-
pend for their success upon large and
vigorous chapters. For these reasons
the enrolment of members is the chief
purpose of the November campaign.
1t is the primary ambition of the
American Red Cross to be of service
to Americans"
