 WASHINGTON, March 5.-Removal of pork and pork products from the export conservation list was an nounced tonight by the war trade board, effective tomorrow.
 At the same time the board rescind- ed the regulations by which all apph cations tor licenses to export these commodities to European destinations were required to bear a certificate from the food administration showing that the administration had approved the sale price
 The food administration in an an- nOuncement simultaneously said this action would destroy its ability further to stabilize the prive of live hogs and that it probably would result in the price of hogs and pork increasing be- yond the stabilized prices which the administration had desired to continue to March 31.
 Commission Dissolved The war trade boards announce ment also said that it had been advis- ed that the allied provisions export commission had been dissolved and that purchases of foodstuffs for ship ment to Great Britain, France and Italy would no longer be made by that commission. This commission was or | ganized early in the war and all food stuffs for the allies bought in America were purchaser through it.
 With removal of porka nd products from the conservation list, the board announced that these commodities could bee xported freely to the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Belgium. Japan or Greece, Ort heir colonies. pos sessions or protectorates under the l special export license issued Febru- ary 26.
 Officials of the food administration had expected to reach an agreement before the first of the month on con- l tinuance of minimum prices for hogs but after conferences with. the war trade board and President Wilson il was announced no decision would be ! possible until the president could consider the whole matter of export embargoes.
