LEAGUE COVENANT
SUPERIOR TO PLAN

WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-The
clause in the peace treaty by which
Japan is given German rights in
Shantung failed to agree with the
advance of American delegates to
President Wilson. Secretary Lansing
told the senate foreign relations COM
mittee today. Lansing said the plan
finally adopted for the league of ma
tions is far superior to the so-called
American plan.
Lodge asked Lansing where the
committee could get a copy of the
American plan for the league. He
replied he did not know and said the
state department has no copy and
none was ever laid before the peace
conference Lansing stated that the
American draft was shown him by
Wilson. and he returned IL to the
president.
''Who wrote the American plan?"
asked Senator Brandegee.
''I assume the president wrote it,
Lansing replied.
Don't you know two New York
lawyers wrote 1t for the president
and took it TO Europe" Brandegee
asked.
THAT is untrue said Lansing and
the committeeman were unable to
learn from Lansing of any difference
between the American plan and that
finally adopted.
Lodge questioned him regarding
the method of r3ising money for the
leagues expenses. Lansing said he
assumed a budget will be made and
each nation told how much it should
pay. Congress can decide whether
to appropriate the full apportion-
ment required of the United States
he added.

WASHINGTON, Aug. G.-President
Wilson today began work on a mes
sage he viii read to congress within a
few days outlining a program to re-
duce the price of living. II is under
stood the message will ask for new
laws to enable the government to
fight food profiteers. hoarders and
others who are directly or wilfully
contributing to the high prices.
One of the presidents recommenda-
tions for new legislation is expected
to deal with the regulation of cold
storage companies. This would pre-
vent holding food in storage for high
prices. Regulations governing the
transportation OF food will also be
touched upon by the president, 1t is
learned.
Money Reduction Unlikely.
The proposal to reduce the amount
OF paper money circulation is not ex-
pected to get much attention in the
message. Cabinet members who
not agree that this would prove a
practical method of lowering the
prices.
= The president is known to have be-
fore him a strong recommendation for
licensing corporations in interstte
business to prevent them from en-
gaging in any business closely allied to
their own.
Cabinett members failed to reach
an agreement on the proposal to re-
vive the food administration. AL
though the administration may not be
revived. its machinery will be used to
rne fuffrst ae~fsnt nm am effort 10 pre-
vent food boarding and price boost
ing.
Julius Barnes, head OF the United
States grain corporation, has taken
steps to effect Immediate reduction
OF food prices by forcing down the
price of flour. He announced he
would sell the standard export flour
everywhere in the United States at
$40 a barrel which is dollar less
than the price prevalent during the
last four months.
Maintain Guarantee.
The guaranteed wheat price to
farmers will be maintained. Barnes
stated. An excess profit tax reaching
