Poison gas developed in the war can

Suggestions had been made by farm

Proposal by United States.

In return the United States govern
ment has agreed to lift all restric-
tion on messages coming from Great
Britain or France or Italy to firms in
Central or South America. cable CON-
to the south of the United
States having hitherto been in the
hands of American eensors who sought
to prevent trade from being carried
on with German subjects in this hem
isphere.
Now the blacklist will be narrowed
down to about one hundred firms and
the lid will be off with respect to all
other business houses On this conti-
nent.
Similarly. American business men
will be able. to re-establish export and
import relations with firms throughout
Europe. This means that there will
be practically no way to interrupt a
possible resumption of trade with Ger
many through the neutral countries,
which hitherto have been prevented
from Germany or otherwise establish
ing credit relations with German firms
for overseas trade.
Climax of Long Farley.
The removal of the censorship and
the relaxation of the blockade is in
line with the development of the
last few days at Paris and Spa.
where the armistice negotiations S
with the Germans over the supply
of food to the Teuton population
have been conducted. The settlement
announced today whereby Germany, is
to get food provided she furnishes
merchant ships to carry American
troops home is the climax of a long
parley in Paris in which the French
government has stubborn1y resisted
aDv Ynoypmept which would roryni r
gold to flow out OF Germany to any
other country but herself.
It was not difficult to get the French
to agree to the proposal of the British
and Americans that in exchange for
2,0O0, 900 tons of shipping the Germans
should be given 100000 tons Of food
per month. No objection was raised
at the time on sentimental grounds

REPUBLICANS PLAN

The republicans of the House are
fguratively rolling up their sleeves
and getting ready to tackle the big
job of constructive legislation which
will confront them when the President
calls an extra session of Congress, as
he must do early in the summer, to
pass the supply bills.
1t Is no part OF the plan of the re-
publicaus to confine the work of the
extra session to the supply bills, how
ever, and once Congress is assembled
1t will probably stay in session late
into the fall

the princi pal committees now is being

of them will begin the study of legis-
