LETER INTRODUCES
BILL TO FIX PRICES
Would Empower President to Hold
Doyra Cost of Xeeessaries of
Life.
Washington, May 3.?Absolute aii-i
thority to regulate in its discretion
the production, distribution and prices'
of food and other necessaries during,
the war was asked of congress today;
by the administration.
In a sweeping bill introduced with'
the administration s approval uy
Chairman Lever of the house agricm-'
tural committee, it is proposed to em- j
power the president to take these1
measures whenever in his opinion'
the national emergency shall require.'
To Fix Prices. j
To fix maximum and minimum'
prices for food, clothing, fuel and oth-J
er necessities, and the articles re- j
quired for their production:
To prescribe regulations to govern!
tha Droduction of these commodities j
and if necessary to requisition the |
producing factories, mines or other:
establishments;
To compel holders of necessities to
release them in amounts insuring1
equitable distribution; j
To regulate exchanges in ^uch a I
u-nir as to eliminate market manipu-j
lation;
To compel railroads to give prefer
ence to the movement of necessities; i
To levy such importation duties as :
he finds necessary to prevent exces-j
sive "dumping" of foreign products;'
and
To impose limitations or prohibi-i
tions upon the use of grain in thej
manuiacture 01 uquor.
Standard Food Grades.
In addition the Secretary of Agri- i
culture would be empowered to es-1
tablish standard food grades, to li- j
cense and control the manafacture, j

is hoped that the mere conferring of
the more extreme new powers will be
sufficient without it becoming nec
essary to exercise them."
It is known that officials hold the
same view.
Supplemental Measure.
The bill is supplemental to the ad
ministration food measure introduced
in the house earlier in the week, pro
viding for a survey of the country's;
food resources and cor. erring certain '
powers to prevent food speculation.1
This, measure was ordered favorably |
reported from the agricultural com-!
mittee today after the committee had
reduced the appropriation carried
from $25,000,000 to approximately
-$20,000,000 and had eliminated a sec
tion authorizing t"he secretary of ag
riculture to order the immediate saie
of any food in such condition that
unless promptly disposed 01 n wm
become unfit for use. The section
will be incorporated in a coming
third measure which is to confer
broad powers on the council of na
tional defense.
Mr. Lever expects to get botb of

next week.
For Period of War.
"The new bill," said Mr. Lever, i
"deals with all the necessaries of life,
including foods, feeds, shoes, cloth
ing, fuel and articles required for
their production. The measure is in
tended only to meet the present emer
gency. It is limited to the periods
of the war and a sufficient time there
after for readjustment. It is based
on the war clauses of the constitu

country, irrespective of State lines.
"The purposes are to stimulate
production, to reduce waste, to clear
the channels of distribution, to pre
vent hoarding, to assure fair prices,
to eliminate injurious speculation, to
prohibit evil practices on exchanges
and to protect the public against ex
tortion.
To Prevent Holding.
"Power is granted to compel hold

late exchanges, including their prac
tices, Quotations and the like, so as
to avoid their employment as instru-!
mentalities to effect unjust markei;
manipulations, injurious speculation;
and undue enhancement of prices. |
"The nresident is empowered to fix'
minimum prices, assuring fair and
just returns to producers or owners,
whenever in an emergency he finds
such action essential in order to en
courage greater production. In such
case the government will guarantee
producers of necessaries within the
United States, who act in reliance
upon the guarantee, that they will
receive not less than the minimum:

the minimum price plan. When he
determines these rates, by force of
the statute itself, they go into im

such action he is also empowered to

HOOTER BACK FROM EUROPE
Saytf U-boat Menace Makes Food Sit
uation Grave.
New York, May 3.?Herbert C. Hoo
ver arrived from England today on am
American ship and ?aid he would [
proceed at once to Washington to as-|
sume his new position as head of ine
country's food board.
Another passenger on the same ves
sel was the Right Rev. C. ft. Brent,
Bishop of the Philippines, who
preached in St. Paul's Cathedral In
London in the presence of King
George and Queen .Mary on "Ameri
can Day."
Mr. Hoover said the U-boat menace
has made the food situation in Bel
gium and Northern France one "of ex
treme gravity, the mortality among
adults in the industrial districts hav
ing multiplied by thiee during March
and April. He said he would go im
mediately to Washington.
"Like every good American, I have
come over to do my share," Mr. Hoo
ver said. "My new duty is too big a
tn rh'qoiiSR at this time."
Mr. Hoover was met by Baron Car
tier, Belgium minister to the 'United
States, who said he came from Wash
ington to* express his "thanks and
reverence" for the Belgian relief com
mission's accomplishments in his
country.
"The food situation in Belgium and
Northern France requires every effort
we can make," said Mr. Hoover, wno
does not intend to relinquish his po
sition as head of the Belgian commis
sion. "At present it is one of ex
treme gravity on account of the U
boat menace which has increased
alarmingly during the past eight
weeks. Wheat and corn are needed
badly and also pork and beef. The
commission by March 1 had strug
gled to its feet again after receiv
ing the knockout blow of the sub
marine decree of February 1. Since
vtotoVi i wo Vinvp lost five loaded
boats, but in March and April sixty |
thousand tons of foodstuffs -were j
landed. But this 60,000 was 220,000'
tons less than we actually requested.I
Because of the shortage the mortali-1
ty in industrial districts multiplied |
by three. The children, however, did j
not suffer. They are always looked i
after first. !
"At this time we Jhaye only thirty,
boats. We tfeed Seventy."
VIGOROUS WAR OX
CENSORSHIP MEASURE
"Washington, ?May 3.?The Eght
against the censorship provisions of
the Webb-Gregory espionage blii rag
ed furiously in the house to-Jay. At
the same time it wa3 uncier nre mini
a different angle in r.i-e senate where
the embargo provisions were subject
ed to attack on the ground of Its con
stitutionality.
Representative Kahn, of California,
led the attack on the censorship sec
tion of the house.
"The so-called censorship feature or
this bill appears to be predicated upon
the theory that the press u
to be treated as an enemy .) : the coun
try," was Kahn's first assertion. Only
last week he was leading the admin
istration's fight for the passage of the
selective draft bill.
"In all matters affecting the inter
est of the United States and its peo
ple, I believe that tiie newspapers
are not only painstakingly' consistent
in their patriotic obligations, but that
they would be the first agency to ex
pose treacnery m any :ynn uu ui
j part of any person."
Representative Kahn declared tha;
| the section in question placed mem
' bers of the newspaper profession In
exactly the same category with the
conspirators, marplots, enemy agents
1 and spies.
j With Spies.
I "For my part," Kahn concluded, "1
' would rather the newspapers should
be permitted to censor themselves, i
: am quite sure they can be trusted to
do so with less injury to the interests
nf the neoole than mi^ht result from
the attempt of the government to re
j strict their discussions.
j "It is entirely inconceivable ?*2t
j the president who has frequent
' ly advocated 'pitless publicity' in the
' discussion of government affairs; who
! not long ago ardently declared that

He announced hi? intention to sup

Constitution.
"I believe the press censorship sec-;
tion of this bill is a flat violation ofj
the constitution." the speaker an-j
nounced. "I believe the words of the
constitution guaranteeing free speech
and a free Dress are the most im
portant words in the entire document,
bar none."
Mr. Clark expressed the belief that
after the regulations which the Mil
provides hat? been promulgated by the
president the actual execution of the
functions would he delegated to ''30m e

tration of the regulations would be

Representative M<Oormick. of Tlli

while authorizing the president to
create a censorship limited its oper

"I was afflicted
with constipation
and biliousness for
years, and at times became so bad I
would become unconscious. I have been
found in that condition many times.
Physicians did not seem to be able to
do me any good. I vrould become
weak and for days at a time could do
no wonc. Not long ago I got a box
of Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, and
after using them found I had never
tried anything that acted in such a
mild and effective manner. I believe
I have at last found the remedy that

Thousands of people are sufferers
