under limitations prescribed by the food
administration during the war, were
unreasonably high" and from two and
one quarter to three times as great as
those in pre-war years, according TO a
report made to President Wilson by the
Federal Trade Commission on June y.
1918. but withheld from the public at
the request OF Food Administrator
Hoover.
A copy Of the report. together with
letters sent by Mr. Hoover to the
president, were transmitted to the
senate, today, by the commission, LII
response to resolution by Senator
Norris republican, Nebraska.
Proposed 7 Per Cent Profit Limit.
Recommendations made BY the COM
That net worth (actual invested
capital represented BY stock issued ana
snrplus) as Of November /. 1917, be
the basis upon which the allowed rate
Of profit be computed fer all packers.
THAT the normal rate for the five
chief packers be seven per cent, on neL
worth. with one-half per cent, increased
advance for every ten per cent IN
crease in weight slaughtered. and one
half per cent decrease in rate for every
ten per cent decrease in weight
slaughtered the maximum profit allow
ed not to go above nine per cent.
9 Per Cent for Smaller Packers.
"1'hat the maximum allowed the
smaller packers be nine per cent, in
creasing on a sliding scale to II per
cent. but without a decreasing scale.
THAT profits in excess of the pre-
scribed rates be either turned over e
the treasurer Of the United States or
applied against further government
purchases.
In his letter to the president, dated
July s. 1918, Mr.. Hoover said he did
not believe any useful purpose is serv-
ed by public ventilation Of inter-depart-
mental disagreements as to government
al policy and added:
"eIf congress passes sufficiently
strong excess profits legislation, it will
automatically correct the situation and
meet the views of both the trade com
mission and ourselves. My proposal IS
therefore that the whole matter shall be
laid aside intil the action Of congress
is determinable.
Disagreed on Borrowed Capital.
"In another letter. Hoover said:
1.-The food administration regulations
permit earnings upon borrower az WI
as packers own capital; whereas. thu
trade commission proposes that nc
profits should be allowed on borrowed
capital. This appears to us TO strike
at the base of most business enter
prises. As we understand it, large
part Of the commerce and trade of tht
country is founded on the earnings Of
an excess sum of borrowed capital over
the bare interest cost, and we feel thai
if this principle proposed By the trade
commission were laid down as preced
ent, it would produce an absolute state
of panic in the United States"

Paris, Sept 24--By the Associated
Press AN Italian detachment, with
several armored motor cars. has crossed
the line Of demarkation near Toguire,
Dalmatia, and penetrated the town, after
having overcome the resistance Of a
dozen .Jugo- Siav soldiers, according to
dispatch from Belgrade.
The dispatch adds that two American
vessels have left Spalato for Toguire.
Alarming reports are reaching peace
conference circles Of the possibility that
D'Annunzio's action at Fiume may be
duplicated by other Italian leaders at
Spalato, Scarrato and Lara, all lmpor-
tant eastern Adriatic seaports, and that
plans are on foot by the Italians to re-
store King Nicholas to the Montenegrin
throne.
Such action. it is said, would inevi-
tably result in declaration of war
against Itaaly by the Iugo- Slavs, who
are declared to be greatly irritated over
the situation.
The Italian delegation had many dis
patches today which indicated that much
of the army and navy was beyond govern
ment control because OF Premier Nitti 5
opposition to D'Annunzio, and in Italian
circles the intimation was given that
bolshevism might prevail unless the
United States consented to Italy hay-

Washington. Sept 24-Most Of the
work Of the peace treaty today was car
ried on outside the senate chamber.
While Senator Frelinghuysen. repub-
lican, New Jersey was delivering a two
hour attack on the treaty and its league
of nations covenant, republicans were
trying to reach an agreement respecting
the method Of dealing with the amend
mcnt by Senator Johnson, republican
California, for equalizing the voting
power of the United States and Great
Britain in the league assembly.
The Johnson amendment WAS laid
aside, to be taken up at an indefinite
date. but there were many rumors con
cernng possible procedure. One per
sistent report was that Senator John
son might insist on calling it up at any
moment.
Some league advocates claimed that
enough promises had been obtained from
republicans to make certain its defeat
largely because Of the argument that its
adoption might necessitate reopening OF
