According to q Reuters dispatch
from Paris. Col. f. NJ. House. who had
promised to erdeavor TO arrange an
interview between the American dele
gates and the British premier has now
in view of their activities in Ireland
decided not 10 act as an intermediary
The report that the premier had cam

delegates was current in Dablin to-
day. but could not be confirmed. Mr..
Dunno and Mr.. Ryan reached London
tonight, but declined to make any
statement. Mr.. Walsh remained IN
Dublin when his colleagues left that
city and is expected to arrive here to-
morrow.
Mr. I.loyd George has been subject
ed 10 most bitter attacks for his alleg-
ed encouraxement OF the delegates ac-
tiyities. which are regarded as unWar-
ranted interference with British do
mestic affairs. Even a serious journal

BAKER DEFENDS MEAT SALES.
Says Beef 10 in Special Big Cans Not
Used in United States.

Washington. May '15.-Secretary of
War Baker denied yesterday that there
had been any agreement with the meat
packers with regard to distribution OF
excess meat supplies for the army. but
admitted the packers had suggested
the most practical thing to do would
be to sell these supplies in Europe be-
cause they are packed for ocean trans
portation.
The Secretary. when his attention
was. called to some criticism because
Of Ssports that these large stocks of
provisfons were TO be disposed OF
] abroad when 1t might force down high
prices to dispose ef them in home mar
kets. said that a large part OF the sur
plus supply could not be disposed OF
advanta9eously here. =
There has been b misarprehension
IEtth EeSard TO thespolicy Of the de-
nAftmeft in disposing of meat sup
plies" Secretary Baker said. 1.-The
| meats In question are specially pre-
pared meats. in special containers, and
OF kind never sold commercially in
the United States-roast beef, special
ly salted pork-which are not articles
Of ordinary commercial trade in the
United States. The cans are not even
labeled.
The question Of disposing of these
supplies is not question of maineain-
ing price level-the war department
has no interest in that-but of some,
way to~dispose Of them. We cannot,
for instance set up retail stores all
over the United States to sell army
supplies, and therefore have to dispose
Of them in bulk. So much Of the sup
plies as are of the ordinary commercial
kind in the United States we are SELL
ing here In any way we can to prevent
speculation.
But specially prepared army SUP
plies, seven-pound cans Of roast beef,
and things Of that sort are not known
to the commercial public of the Uni.ee
States, and the buying public know
nothing about them. and they would
not be available for ordinary commerce
here.
Il have talked the whole question
over with the sales director and there
are number of questions that have to
be solved. Some products for instance.
by repacking in new tins and being
labeled. There is a. possibility that we
may be able to dispose Of substantial
quantities Of food supplies in institu-
tions where bulk purchases are made.
All avenues are to be sought out, and.
so far as possible. food end clothes will
be sold in the United States.
"The market regulates the price: we
have no power. to set an arbitrary
price. II we had million pairs Of
shoes to sell. we would have no means
Of going to John Jones and letting him
buy pair OF army Shoes but by put
ting them on the market it would prob
ably affect tie market prices.
There has been no agreement with
the meat packers with regard, to the
distribution Of meat supplies, but they
have suggested that the most practical
thing to do would be to sell these sup
plies in Europe. instead Of disposine
Of them In this. country because they
are packed for transportation across
the ocean. In this way II. would not be
necessary for the packers to prepare
other food for transportation while the
present supply is being distributed in
this country" s.,,
