PARIS. Sept. 1.-THE days OF the
Peace Conference are numbered. On
the highest authority THE Sun is able
to state that the conference virtually
will be brought to close within ten
days.
SO far as the British are concerned,
the negotiations have ended already.
With the departure Of Foreign Secre-
tary Balfour for England this morning
Great Britain is left without a pleni-
potentiary in Paris, as. THE SUN is in
formed, Lord Miner refuses to accept
the responsibility and will take no
further part in the discussions Of the
| Supreme Council.
In this case 1t is likely that there
will. be no meeting OF the council to-
morrow unless Premier Lloyd George is
not remain long in Paris because his
return to England is being awaited by
Parliament. Three problems, it is ex-
pected, will be cleared UP before the
expiration OF the ten days. They are:
First, the Bulgarian treaty is to be
| signed.
| Second the Hungarian treaty will
be completed and made ready for
| presentation to the first stable and
genuine Hungarian Government that
is formed, although the signing OF
this treaty is not considered urgent.
| Third, a settlement OF the Ru-
manian question. An agreement with
Bucharest is expected soon, as Sir
George Clark, the envoy sent by the
Allies to the Rumanian capital, is
due here next Thursday
The adjournment OF the conference
which may be considered the virtual enc
of the present body-is to follow imme
diately after an accord is reached with
Rumania. The British. Italian, Japa

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. President
Wilson's request for an appropriation
of $S25.000 to pay outstanding bills and
expenses OF the American peace mis-
sion up to December 81, 1919. was
refused by the House Appropriations
Committee to-day. .s....
Original plans Of the committee
were to include as much of the re-
quest as thought necessary in the tirst
deficiency bill of the present fiscal
year, reported to-day. but Chairman
Good Qowa) said inability to obtain
detailed information from the White
House or the State Department as to
how the appropriation would be spent
from the bill.
Mr.. Good stated that before the re-
quest would be granted the sentiment of
the committee was that a complete in
quiry into the expenditures and esti-
mates should be conducted. The letter
Of the President. estimating the total ex-
penditures of the mission up to Decem-
ber 81 as s1,506.776.s3 gives only a
general itemization. and the chairman
said he did not consider this sufficient.
No Details Forthcoming.
penditures asked the White House to
send representative before a hearing
and wrote to Secretary Lansing asking
II he could give any detailed itenizs-
ton of past expenditures or how the
President proposed to spend the amount
he requested.
The request was sent to the White
House about the time the President was
leaving on his tour. Mr.. Good said, and
the committee got the impression that
the State Department could supply the
information.
"The Secretary Of State" the chair
man said, replied that he could moi
supply details of the sS25,000 deficiency
estimate. or of the rest OF the 81 500. .00C
which the President reported to Con,
gress as the cost OF this country's parti-
cipation in the Peace Conference.
| The reason the State Department
gave was that the books and account,
of the peace mission had not yet beer
returned to the United States. We hav,
been promised that the books will b.

cheney measure is started.

New-York tribune., 1919-08-17
some Proposals for Reducing the High Cost of Ii,

N A comprehensive report sub
mitted to Governor Smith the
4 State Reconstruction Commission
has embodied thorough survey
OF the food situation in New York City
and has drawn up series of recon-
mendations for consideration at the
next session Of the Legislature.
In the accumulation of circumstances
neld responsible for the present high
prices CT food the commission points out
'hat malpractice may be ascribed to the
producer, the middleman and the re
taller, but that, generally speaking,
those guilty Of unscrupulousnes are a
minority with little capital invested
and nothing to lose.
The commission recommends an en-
'ife revision of the food laws, better
grading measures, control of waste and
malpractice in the distribution of per-
snable foods and the licensing by the
department of Farms and Markets Of
al Wholesale dealers in food commodi-
ties and foodstuffs.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-17

of efficiency in administration of the
food laws of the state; for the sake of
relieving persons and firms subject to
those laws from the uncertainty and
confusion of the present condition, and
for the protection Of the public, the
existing laws should be coditied into
one law, Implications eliminated and
phras seology corrected. Also the exist
ing laws should be strengthened by
more definite grant of authority to the
Farms and Markets Council to issue
rules and regulations having the effect
of law by granting this council power
to place all whole sale dealers in farm
products under license and by the vari-
Gus other amendments and additions
proposed in following sections of this
eport.
at is also recommended that the
Legislature of New York join with
other states in enacting the proposed
uniform good egg law and the proposed
uniform egg breaking establishment
law, placing the admins istration of the
uniform good egg law in the hands of
the Department of Farms and Markets
aid the administration Of the uniform
egg breaking establishment law in the
hands Of the local health authorities.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-17
Good Egg Law Called
Great Aid to Farmers

"The most important of the advan-
tages that may be expected to result
from the adoption of the uniform good
egg law and the uniform egg breaking
establishment law IN New York State
may be summarized as follows
"The farmer will be given an incent-
i've to handle his eggs properly and
improve his breeds Of poultry. When
he does SO, he will receive larger
yield and higher average price be-
cause the purchaser will no longer have
to protect himself against loss from
bad eggs that cannot be detected until
they are candled in the market.
"The farmer will be protected from
the commission man or wholesaler in
the city who exaggerates the losses
from poor eggs and deducts money for
such eggs in excess Of the actual loss.
"The cost of marketing and trans
portator will be lowered because Of
the reduced handling, which should re-
suit in lower prices to the consumer.
1.-THE use of eggs unfit for human
New-York tribune., 1919-08-17
System Itself Blamed
For Distributing Faults

In a summary of the situation the
commission outlines its findings as
follows:
There are two types of faults in the
present distributing system: Cd Those
attributable not to any particular
group Of individuals but to the system
itself, and (2) malpractices on the
part Of the individual producers, mid
uienen or retailers. In any group those
VINO are guilty Of unscrupulous prac-
'iee are, generally speaking, minority
with little capital invested and moth
'ng 10 lose Such dealers not only
'uJufe the reputation of the entire
''ass. out create market conditions that
oi'en result in losses to the reliable
'ealers, the producer and consumer.
Some Of the most serious faults in
'ae present system are the shortages
e"o oversupplies OF foodstuffs, the lack
VI adequate transportation service, the
means OF establishing daily market
prices and the disadvantages of the
general farmer. The most prevalent
niaipractices are the malpractices Of
Inc shipper, OF the middleman against
'he shipper, and of the wholesale and
retail food dealer.
"one Of the most serious problems
" producers. middlemen and consum-
New-York tribune., 1919-08-17

consumption by bakers, confectioners
and othe. food manufacturers will be
discouraged, i: not ent rely prevented"
The commission indorses the recon-
mendations OF the Department OF
Farms and Markets on the cold stor-
age situation:
THAT the cold storage law be so
amended as to apply to ali private cold
storage warehouses IS we'll as public
cold storage warehouses. Al presen,
foods in private cold storage ware
houses are exempt from all the pro
visions of The cold storage law
That broader powers DC granted to
the Commissioner Of Foods and Mar
kets on the question Of marketing
foods that nave been IN cold storage
(The present law applies to all foods
including canned goods and similar
products for which there is no neces-
sity of marketing.)
That provision should De made in
the law for the disposal Of foods hav-
ing been in storage over the twelve
month time limit. CAT present there are
no provisions for the disposal of such
foods after they are ordered out of the
warehouses
That the Legislature CT the State Of
New York enact the uniform cold stor
age law which is being advocateu for
other states.
"The committee recomme nds that the
Reconstruction Commission advise the
Governor Of New York State that :
more rigid and effective enforcement
of the weights and measures laws OF
the state on ;Ae part Of state and nu-
nicipa! az -nordties, and additions 70
the presen. .aw4, are necessary for the
protection OF the consuming public
from gross exploitation IN the purchase
of foods.
