C., Aug. 9.—Con- gress. may turn itself into a great chautauqua when it finishes its work here, to enlighten every section of the country on the need of prosecut- ing- the -war vigorously, not only as a war for world democracy, but as a tight for American rights and preser- vation. President Wilson himself may “do his bit”. in. the, same direction, pos- sibly by a speech on some occasions, or by a letter to congressional lead- ers. Plans were in a nebulous state to- day, but the undercurrent in official quarters was taward such a move.

The house provision for an individual food administrator was en- acted only after the president had prevailed upon the senate and. house conferees toeliminate a senate amend- ment, inserted by two overwhelming votes of 63 to 19 and 60 to 23, pro- posing a board of food of three sub- ject to senate confirmation. ’ Comprehensive powers are given in the bill, passed as a war measure, to assure adequate supply and equitable distribution of the. named: necessaries, to facilitate their movement, to pre- vent, locally and. generally, scarcity, monopoly, hoarding, injurious specu- lation, manipulation or private con- trol affecting supply, distribution and movement. Other provisions of the bill fix a minimum price for wheat beginning itary or other public defense purposes or to conserve foodstuffs. ‘Congressional leaders understand the president does not intend to command- eer distilled spirits or to curtail their consumption unless military exigen- cies require. -The so-called Smoot amendment directing federal purchase of distilled beverages in bond at cost plus 10 per cent profit, was eliminat- ® 7 In Heu of house provisions author- izing the food administration to fix the minimum prices for all necessa- ries, the law provides that the food administration shall fix a minimum price for wheat alone.
