The measure will be sent to Presi- dent Wilson for his signature Friday. But few speeches are expected in the senate tomorrow before the vote. Immediately after its disposition it is planned to adopt the conference re- port on the first administration food Dill, providing a food survey and ap- propriations to stimulate production. Little opposition is expected. Urges Co-operation. The principal speech of yesterday was made by Senator Wadsworth, who sald the good things in the bill out- pnumbered the bad ones, but protest- ed against elimination of the provi- sion for a congressional committve to supervise war expenditures and pre- dicted that the $2 maximum wheat price provision might not operate as its proponents believed. He urged co-operation between the legislative and administrative branches of the government and a greater degree of publicity of the conduct of the war. -The New York senator denounced the delay in the enactment of the first food bill as a breaking of faith by the government with the people. Deploring what he termed the “pres- ent atmosphere of criticism” that prevailed in congress, and throughout the country, Senator Wadsworth de- By The Tribune's Military Expert.
