One month behind time, tbe administration food control MU na* reported out of conference without the feature* that were objectionable to the president. lu enactment within a week was confidently predicted. The chief feature* that were eliminated mere the congressional war expenditure committee and the three-member food control board. Tbe price-fixing and control provision* were greatly restricted and the prohibition section Is lee* dras-

e.

Partly as a result of tbe compromise -on the food control MU. the senate adopted tbe Khrp|*ird resolution for a national prohibition amendment to tbe constitution. The vole—05 to a>— would have been much clo*er had the dry force* not consented to a provision that the cmcntimect shall not be operative unless it is ratified by tbe within six years. The constitutionality of that limitation Is doubtful. The dry lesirrs derided to await the December session of congress before trying to get the resolution through the lower house. Another commendable action of the senate was tbe adoption of MrCumher’* resolution calling upon the president to undertake to obuin the consent of the European nations allied against the central l-jw-cr* to tbr draft of their subjects In the United Ststr* for the war. It b believed tbe allies will quickly agree to thl* ano that the plan mill he In operation before long. The new war Industrie* hoard, with Prank A. Beotl Instend of Bernard Baruch as Ita chairman, has taken up with rigor lu work of government buying and supervision over tbr general Industrial activity. Mr. Scott announced that profit-making must now yield to |>atriotl*m. extravagance to economy and selfishness to service. The reorgaulied shipping board also Is »|H*diug Jp and last week It made the Southern |>ine producer* prom!*: prompter delivery of the Umber they have pledged, for the board Intends to build ns ruauy wooden ships as possible.

WMhincton — The now War inductrtei Hoard hell! its first conference with President Wilton Monday and took up In general the problem* It must face in the pttreijase of war supplies for this government and the Alllee. Tbe President indicated hla idea of the board's funrtlone. One of the points decided was that . the Allies of tbe United Sutee rbould be given th» same advantage* in the pore hare: 0 f war materials as this country enjoys. Member!- of tbe board are: Frank Scott, Bernard M. Baruon, Hugh Frayne. Robert S. Brookings. L. a Lovett. Lieutenant Colonel Palmer E. Pierce and Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletche: Secretary Danlela also attended the conference, a The qu'-ation of co-ordinating American and allied purchases will be of the Dm to be taken up by the

board.

Allied purchaaea soon will be made by Bernard Baruch, who la to be deelgnsti-d by the allied government* as their buying commlsrioner. At the same time he will be chairman of a purchasing commission for the American govrrnmrnt to be formed of members of the War Board, with Herbert Hoover as a member in charge of purchaset Official* believe that ultlmatelr a ayvletr may be evolved under which will do all the American and allied buying, members of the War Board serving as advisers. Legislation would be required, however, before the gov ernment department* could delegate purchaaea to any person outaide of their organization*. For the present American purchases will he negotiated by the buying commission. but contracts for the Army and Navy will be signed by their representatives on '.he War Board. Shipping Board purchase* probably will be made by tbe buying commission Itself, a* there is no legal obstacle. The hoard faces a considerable problem in obtaining aur*plle* for the Allle* at the same price paid by the American government. Already the proposal has brought protests from manufacturers and producers who hevr agreed to sell to this government at prices lower than the market.
