eral Licenses for all Corporations :
Urged Peace Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Aug addressing
congress yesterday and proposing RENE
dies to check the high cost of living, Pres
ident Wilson declared that existing laws
were inadequate and that high prices were
not justified by shortage of supply, pres
ent or prospective, but were created in
many cases "artifcially and deliberately"
by vicious practices.
He recommended that the food control
act be extended to peace time operation
and that congress exclude from interstate
as well as interstate shipment goods which
did not comply with it's provisions.
He also recommended that the food law
be provided with substantial penalty for
profteering and that cold storage law
be enacted, modelled after the law in New
Jersey, by which time limit would be
placed ON cold storage. He also recon-
mended that all goods released from cold
storage be marked with the price prevail
| ing when they went into storage. He fur
| Their recommended that goods in interstate
| commerce be marked with the prices at
| which they left the producers.
| 1t would serve as useful example, he
| suggested if congress should enact legis
| lation to control the situation in the Dis
trct of Columbia, where it has unlimited
| authority.
| Further he recommended federal Ii
censing system for corporations engaged
IN interstate commerce which would EN-
body regulations to insure competitive sell
ing 'and prevent uncomfortable profit
in the method of marketing" He ais
urged prompt passage of the law pending
to control security issues.
