WASHINGTON, Aug. 19--Action on
legislation TO reduce the cost Of nv
ing is expected today when the sen
ate agriculture committee plans to
vote on Attorney General Palmer's re-
quest for broadening Of the food con
troll act
Hearings on the Kenyon and Ken,
drick packer bills were suspended
until tomorrow when packers will ap-
pear.
II doubt very much whether the
amendments will be reported out by
the committee" Chairman Gronna
said today. "a majority seem op-
posed to them. It is possible, how
ever, that they may be modified by
exempting farm ORGANIZATIONS from
proposed penalties"
The am endments would extend the
food control act to cover clothing and
would add a heavy penalty for prof
iteering. Farmers contended their or
ganizations might be held liable under
conspiracy clauses Of the act
The house agriculture committee
also plans to change radically Palm ers
suggestions for amendment to the
food control act.
Chairman Haugen today will sub.
NIT amendments to the food control
act which will provide for the procla-
nation Of fair prices Of all necessities
by the president, with adequate power
to severely punish all who sell above
these figures.
The amendments have been framed
after conferences with department of
justice Off icials.
The amendments exempt farmers,
farm organizations and firms with an
nual sales less than 100000.
eff you can regulate the big fellows
and tell the people what fair prices
are, there won't be much chance for
the little fellows to profiteer," he
said.
Attorney General Palmer or Assis-
tant Attorney General Ames will be
called before the committee today to
give their opinion on some details Of
the plan.
"The main purposes of amendments
are to get immediate action and wei
propose to give the departments power
beyond a shadow of a doubt to bring
down prices" Haugen said.
ut is proposed to regulate storage
and commission charges, as we'll as
other profits"
Haugen's plan carries the same pen
atty Palmer representatives, of not
more than $4,000. Imprisonment for
not more than two years, or both.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-The SEN
ate must accept the peace treaty and
the league of nations covenant as they
stand, or reject them utterly, Presi-
dent Wilson told the senate foreign
relations committee at the white
house today.
There can be neither amendment or
reservation in the ratification resolu-
ton If the senate would avoid sending
the compact back both to the allies
and Germany for reconstruction and
reacceptance, he said.
The president added, however, with
reference to article X: II do hope that
we are at liberty, centemporaneously
with our acceptance of the treaty to
interpret our moral obligations under
that article
In a prepared statement to the COM
mittee, the president also declared
there could be no reasonable objec-
tfons to interpretations accompanying
the act of ratification, providing they
do not form a part Of the ratification
resolutions.
The conference between the presi
dent and the committee members was
expected to last throughout the day.
In addition to emphasizing the fact
that in his oponion either amend
ment or reservation would throw the
treaty back into the turmoil of new
negotiations, the president urged on
the committee the imperativeness Of
speedy ratification, declaring that the
Austrian. Hungarian and other trea-
ties still to be completed are delayed
by waiting disposition Of the German
treaty, and that American prosperity
awaits the restoration of peace
Meeting rapid fire Of most search.
ing questions which went into min
ute details of the drawing up of his
plan for league Of nations, the presi-
dent answered every inquiry promptly.
That article ten may sometime i'm.
pose on this country "a compelling
moral obligation" the president did
not deny, but when the time comes,
he asserted, complete freedom Of
action remains with the United States.
The committees questions were
directed in large measure to learning
the extent to which the United States
is bound by the league, the Shantung
and the effect of reserva-
tons.

The copper mines of Arizona. Mon.
tana and Alaska, for example. are
oelng Kept open and in operation at
a great cost and loss, in part upon
borrowed money; the zinc mines of
| missouri, tennessee and Wisconsin
are being operated at about one half
their capacity; the lead of Idaho. I'LL
nols and Missouri reaches only a por.
ton OF its former market; there is an
j Immediate need for cotton betting and
also for lubricating oil which cannot
! be metal because the channels OF
/ trade are barred by war, when there
is no war. The same is true of raw
cotton of which the central empires
alone formerly purchased nearly four
million bales. And these are only
examples. There is hardly a single
raw material, a single important food.
stuff or a single class of manufactured
goods which is not in the same case.
Our full, normal, profitable production
waits on peace.
Our military plans, of course, wait
upon it. We cannot intelligently OF
wisely decide how large naval or
military force We shall maintain or
what our policy with regard to mill
; tary training Is to be until we have
peace, not only, but also until we
know how peace is to be sustained,
whether by the arms of single nations,
or by the concert of all the great peo-
pies. And there is more than that
difficulty involved The vast sur
plus properties Of the armies include,
not food and clothing merely, whose
sale will affect normal production, but
great manufacturing establishments
also, which should be restored to
their former uses, great stores of ma
chine tools and all sorts of merchan-
disc which must be idle, until peace
and military policy are definitely de-
termined. BY the same token there
can be no properly studied national
budget until then.
"The nations that ratify the treaty,
such as Great Britain, Belgium and
France, will be in a position to lay
their plans for controlling the mar
kets of central Europe without COM
petition from us, if we do not present
ly act. We have no consular agents,
no trade representatives there to look
after our interests.
There are large areas Of Europe !
whose future will lie uncertain and
Questionable until their people know
the final sentiments of peace and the
forces who are to administer and sus. !
tain It. Without determinate markets
our production cannot proceed with in I
telligence and confidence. There can
be no stabilization of wages because
there can be no settled conditions OF
There can be no easy or
normal Industrial credits because
there can be no confidence OF perma
nent revival of business.
But l will not weary you with OBJ
vious examples. I only will venture
to repeat that every element of normal
life amongst us depends upon and
awaits the ratification Of the treaty OF
peace: and also that we cannot af-
ford to lose a single summers day by
not doing all that we can to mitigate
the winters suffering, which unless
we find means to prevent 1t, may
prove disastrous to a large portion of
The world and may at It's worst, bring
mon Europe conditions even more
terrible than those wrought by the
war itself
