New York.Tbe government is wor
ried over boarding of food supplies by
individuals. Ho run the dlsputcbes
from Wsshliigtua. Can it be that we
are going to witness the sums dis
graceful exhibition of selfish folly that
umrkixl the opening duys of the wsr in
Engluud
I bale to beltevt that our country
men uru so dull or so heartless. Itut
sellhihucss, like putriotlsin, Lnows no
country, and It tuny be necessary to
sliiune the self centered into decent be
havior here, as wus done In England
in August, I'J) 1. Just to wnke up those
who act in mere thoughtlessness It
may be pertinent to mention the expe
rience of sn American couple in the
Ili'Mt days ufler F.iiKluud entered the
war, suys Charles J. Roscbsull of the
Vlglluiites. .
They were living in a tiny village
twenty-four miles north of London,
and their main food supplies csme np
dully by motor truck from one of Lou
don's Urge department stores. Humors
that there might be a scsrclty bad pen
etrated even to their backwater re
treat, but they declined to be milled
thereby.
Ho the order for the morrow went to
the department store ss usual, only
a bit larger than ordinary, as it wus
for the week end and guests were ex
pected. It Included flab and meat and
a variety of fruit and vegetables, ss
well as aouie canned goods. The fol
lowing day the big truck rolled up to
tho door at the usual hour and dls-charged-a
package of washing sods
snd some clothes pins!
The nioturmtiu wus apologetic, but
thn department store had to admit it
self beaten. The day before a horde
of panic stricken Uuuloners bad ar
rived In motorcars ami bud simply
swept clean the counters, shelves Slid
reserve bins of thut hoge shop. The
other shop had met with the same
experience.
Ail the greedy ones bad acted as with
one Impulse, It was as though Ixin
don was already besieged aud the en
emy hud It lu Its grip. Flint come first
fed apiK-arcd to be the slogan of those
with money to buy and no regard for
their fellows.
The senseless fright waa short elved.
The uewspapvre held up to scoru both
the boarders aud the mercbuuU who
bad cutcrcd to them. The government
took a bund and threatened penalties.
The shopkeepers, stung by the al
most universal condemnation Visited
upon them, took their revenge by re
fusing to take back anything. Many
pcrlNhalde foodstuffs skilled on the
hands of the purchasers. The flavor
departed from others long before they
could be used. There w as some poetic
Justice, sftcr all.
But there was also a darker side to
the Incident. Prices of food bnd Jump
ed overnight, snd those of slender
purse were the sufferers. Anxious
housewives found themselves with
empty larders and lucking means to
replenish thetn. There was much nard
ship snd nobody, not even the guilty
ones, a gainer.
If there is oue proposition which can
not be gainsaid It is that hoarding a!
ways has only one result to Increase
prices snd make ecarc the articles
hoarded. If everybody will lie sensl
ble and purchase only what is required
for immediate use there will bo neither
scsrclty uflr inflated prices.

NEW BOARD BY SENATE
WASHINGTON, July IT. Senti
ment In the senate toward compro
mising differences on the food-control
bill apparently crystallized today on
a group of amendments drawn up at
Joint conferences of Democratic and
Republican leaders.
While on the senate floor another
day was spent in criticism of the de
tense council and other executive
bodies, a reprint of the bill was made
embodying the leaders' proposals,
which are expected to remove many
basic objections and develop general
support. ,
Principal revisions recommended by
the leaders are for limitation of gov
ernment control of foods, feeds and
fuels, Including kerosene and gaso
line; creation of a special board of
food administration of three salaried
commissioners Instead ot administra
tion by an individual; fixing by con
gress of a basic minimum price of
L75 per bushel for No. 1 Northern
wheat; extension ot government li
censing to elevators, farm machinery
factories, fertilizer producera, pack
ing houses, coal mines and dealers
and wholesalers ot such products and
government purchase and sale, to se
cure reasonable prices of fuel, wheat
flour, meal, beans and potatoes only,
Voting on these proposals and other
amendments is expected to begin to
morrow.
Among the first to come up probably
will be that under discussion today
restricting sale to the government of
products in which the volunteer ad
vlsers ot the defense council are per
sonally Interested. Many senators du
ing today's debate urged legislation
to prohibit such government represen
tatives from selling their own wares
to the government
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
Tennessee, made a long apeech criti
cising the contract policy ot the coun
cil'e advisory body. He charged that
"Inside rings" dominate contracts for
the army, let without competitive
bids.
World-old standards of honesty and
ethics, declared Senator Johnson, ot
California, Republican, require that
government representatives shall not
serve In a dual capacity for them
selves and the government. Senator
Townsend, of Michigan, another Re
publican, warnedthat "a host of vul
tures are flocking to Washington" to
secure war contracts, and that the
opportunity for grafters, it not elim
inated, might develop a public scan
dal. Shoe contracts were the basis of
criticism by Senator Kenyon, of Iowa,
Republican, who said men were using
influence to get contracts, and advo
cated action prohibiting government
representatives from contracting for
their own products.
During the day's debate, Herbert C.
Hoover, the food administrator, was
criticised by Senator Gore and warmly
defended by Senators Chamberlain
and Myers. Senator Weeks attacked
the shipping board and its fleet cor
poration for not hastening action on
the shipping program. '
The opinion was general tonight
that bi-partisan' compromise amend
ments would go far toward solving
the senate's difficulties over the legis
lation. A considerable faction plans,
however, to fight for government con
trol of iron and steel products, and
others favor a foodNboard ot five In
stead ot three members.
