POLICY IS SOUGHT
Jodge Asks Senate to Demand
Allied Recognition.
REPUBLICANS BACK MOVE
definite Icclaration by Parties to
Treaty Is Desired to Kstablish
Decisions as Binding.
WASHINGTON, Auj?. 7. A determi
nation to stand against any reserva
tions to the peace treaty which do not
specifically require acceptance by the
other powers before the United States
enters the league of nations was voiced
In senate debate today by republican
loade rs.
Senator Lodge, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, declared that
while in general practice a reservation
might become valid if unobjected to
"by the other parties to the treaty, he
lioped there would be a definite dec
laration by the senate that to make
the treaty binding, the other powers
must accept the reservations tnade by
this government.
The suggestion was seconded by
Senator Brandegee, republican, Con
necticut, and later Senator Borah, re
publican, Idaho, declared that "to a
certain number" the opponents of un
reserved ratification would insist upon
such a course.
Separate Treaty Conslderr-d.
A proposal by Senator Pittman demo
crat, Nevada, that reservations be em
bodied in a separate resolution and
made physically a part of the ratifica
tion was opposed by the opposition
leaders as "absolutely futile."
The senate adopted a resolution by
Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana,
asking the judiciary committee whether
there were any constitutional obstacles
to the ratification of the special treaty
with France. Some senators have
argued that because it obligates the
In i ted States to help repel any un
provoked attack by Germany on France,
the treaty curtails the constitutional
power of congress to decide when the
nation shall go to war.
Senator Kellogg declared . it was j
clearly established that treaties could
be made, obligating the United States
to make war under certain circum
stances. Shantung Comment Bitter.
There was much informal discussion
Among senators over President Wilson's
statement on Shantung. Some of the
most bitter opponents of the treaty de
clared the information given by the
president was not sufficient to dispel
suspicion of Japan's intentions in the
Chinese province.
Provisions of the covenant imposing
obligations on congress do not violate
the American constitution, and the
covenant can be ratified with interpre
tative reservations without requiring
resubmission to the other nations, in
the opinion of Senator Kellogg, repub
lican, Minnesota, expressed in a legal
argument in the senate today.
Gnarnntrfa Precedent Cited.
Senator Kellogg said he was "willing
to try" the league, though he did not
believe it wou Id permanently prevent
war. Tfc, speaker said there was ample
.edeot for varying guarantees in
the evvoant which have been objected
to X3X ground of constitutionality.
A i-eaty does not violate the con
stituion because a violation of a treaty
may cause war. The violation of many
of our treaties might cause war. if the
other party to the treaty so desired.
"It is claimed that we cannot enter
into a treaty limiting armament be
cause congress alone can raise and sup
port armies and provide for a navy. By
a treaty with Great Britain in 1817, we
agreed to limit armament on the Great
Lakes and no question has ever arisen
as to its validity."
grant wage increases for these em
ployes averaging 50 per cent.
Development toaay In the govern
ment's efforts to reduce high living
costs included:
Announcement that the action
against five big meat-packing firms
would be brought under the criminal
and civil sections of the Sherman anti
trust law and under the section of the
food-control act making unlawful the
hoarding of food.
Reports from district attorneys over
the country that they were proceeding
with investigations of profiteering and
hoarding and would make arrests
wherever facts warranted.
Introduction of another resolution in
the senate asking the judiciary com
mittee to determine whether it would
be advisable to prohibit temporarily
the exporting of food, clothing and
other necessities.
Granting of authority to the post
office department to increase the parcel
post weight limit from 12 to 125
pounds, so as to facilitate the distribu
tion of surplus army foodstuffs to the
people.
"A report by the Federal Trade com
mission that stocks of food in storage
this year were 20 per cent greater than
a year ago despite the fact that prices
of practically all foods have shown
large increases.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Authority to
increase temporarily the parcel post
weight limit to 125 pounds so that
buyers of army food may take full ad
vantage of opportunity to purchasa
through postmasters and letter-carriers
was granted the poBtmaster-general by
the interstate commerce commission. It
also was announced that - during the
sale buyers might place several orders
at the same time without paying the
initial postal charge of 5 cents a pound
more than once.
SEATTLE, Aug. 7. Orders calling for
an immediate and thorough investiga
tion of the high cost of living here were
received from Washington, D. C, today
by U. S. District Attorney Robert C,
Saunders. A federal probe will be
started here to determine if prosecution
can be instituted against food hoarding
and violators of the anti-trust laws.
SPOKANE, Aug. 7. Food hoarding
and profiteering investigations of the
department of justice here are to be
carried on by four local operatives of
the department, supplemented by three
additional men to be sent from outside
the district, it was announced today.
The city's move on food hoarders to
day was marked by an order from Dr.
Ralph Hendricks, health officer, to
local food storage houses to report at
once the amount of food they hold and
to make additional reports of receipts
and shipments from time to time.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7. Twelve
San Francisco fish dealers have been
summoned to appear before Harris
Weistock, state market commissioner,
in the next 10 days and show cause
' why their licenses should not be sus
pended or revoked for alleged over
charging, the commissioner announced
here today.

PARIS, Aug. 7. ( Special cable.) In
American eyes the most tragic aspect
of the developments in Hungary lies
in the blow dealt to Masrvar workers
who by force of sheer logic overthrew
the bolshevik regime of Bela Kun. Kv- '
ery report reaching Paris from Buda- :
pest, with which city the Hoover ad
ministration is fortunately in tele
graphic touch, indicated the sincere
desire of the new ministry to establish
a democracy with which the allied and
associated powers can make a durable
peace.
For the first time since Leninism
raised its head in Europe, the very folk
for whom it was designed have turned
against soviet doctrines and have pro
claimed their faith in the old economic
order.
As the American peace commission
knows beyond shadow of doubt, it was
not the Roumanian advance which pre
cip'tated the downfall of Bela Kun.
but rather it was his impending col
lapse which permitted the Roumanians
to press forward unhindered.
Union In In Down Dictator.
The Budapest dictator was hurled
from his pedestal by those to whom he
had sought to cater, namely, the Hun
garian trade unionists. Now these
unions are eager to set up a democratic
government which will bring peace and
economic resurrection to their coun
try, and they find themselves crushed
under the heel of an invader.
They are ordered to pay the Rou
manian conqueror an indemnity which
wui leave mem industrially bound.
commercially prostrate - and perhaps
race to face with starvation.
The terms proposed bv Roumania are
or course utterly irreconcilable with
the armistice conditions. Roumania's
action, moreover, constitutes a violn
tion of the pledges made to the anti
Bela Kun trades unions bv the allies.
for it is no longer a secret that the rep
resentatives of the allies agreed to feed
tne Hungarians and maintain them
provided they would demobilize the
red army and submit to the decrees of
the allies.
The messages to the conference re
garding the cabinet stated that at 6:30
P. M. yesterday the members of the
social democratic government, while
they were in session at the National
palace, were arrested by Hungarian
police. The coup d'etat was carried out
without disorder. j
BUDAPEST, Aug. S. The entente
mission in this city delegated govern- :
mental authority to Archduke Joseph j
tonight when the Peidll government ;
resigned. j
Archduke Joseph was a commander j
of Austro-Hungarian forces on the j
southern section of the eastern front I
during the first two years of the war.
In 1913 he headed a movement looking'
to the securing of independence for !
Hungary from Austria, and when the ,
collapse of the dual monarchy came in j
November, 1918. he was asked by Em
peror Charles of Austria to find a solu- '
tion for the political crisis before the !
country.
Archduke Get Supreme Power. !
Both Archduke Joseph and his son !
renounced all their rights as royal per-
sonages ana took me oatn to tne .Hun
garian constitution in November, 1918,
as Bimple citizens.
Archduke Joseph has been invested
temporarily with supreme powers In
the government..
The entente mission conferred this
afternoon with Archduke Joseph and
Premier Friedericli. It was stated that
a full agreement was reached and that 1
Premier Clemenceau. president of the!
peace conference, and the various for- i
eign governments were informed of the
results of the conference.
Authority was delegated by the en
tente mission to Archduke Joseph, who
appointed Stephen Friedricfc. former
chief of a department in the war min
istry, to be premier.
Allied Troops in Budapest.
The foreign ministry was transferred
to General Panczos Janezos and the
war ministry to General Schnitzer-Wol-
kenbers.
In addition to the Roumanian troon.t !
in Budapest, French. British, American 1
and Czech troops have reached here, j
The British forces are under the com- t
mand of General Gordon. The Ameri- I
cans are commanded by Captain Nyss.
BERLIN, Aug. 6. (By the Associated
Press.) It is expected that the entente
powers will demand the surrender of
Bela Kun and other Hungarian soviet
leaders by the Austrian government,
according to dispatches from Vienna.
It is said that it is probable that Aus
tria will be asked to hand them over
to the new Hungarian government
when it is finally constituted.

commodities.
" Hoarding Law to Be Anked.
No concrete law clearly defining
hoarding and profiteering will be
asked, although recommendations will
be made for laws designed to bolster
up the existing laws under which the
attorney-general expects to reach
price groupers and hoarders.
The president will ask for an exten
sion of the Lever food control act to
make it appl icable as a peace-time
measure and to include all commodi
ties, shoes, clothing and life necessi
ties, as well as food.
This much as to the contents of the
address was learned after President
AY ilson had ca lied into conference late
today members of the cabinet and the
Palmer sub-committee and revised it
to meet their suggestions.
It is considered probable by officers
that the president also will suggest the
necessity for throwing the "full light of
publicity" on the question of costs with
a view to enabling the public to pro
tect itself against extortion. This idea
may even go so far as to include the
marking the cost of manufacture on the
article.
The legal department of the govern
ment t oday was actively proceeding
with its programme for immediate
prosecutions for hoarding and profit
eering under existing laws.
Packer Indictment Sought.
United States Iistrict Attorney
Charles K. Clyne of Chicago, disclosed
that the government would ask indict
ments against the big meat packers
when the federal grand jury meets at
Chicago three weeks hence. The indict
ments will be asked under the Sherman
anti-trust law and under the Lever
food control law for hoarding, he said.
Civil suits will be filed also under the
Sherman law.
The department of justice today re
reived reports from many district at
torneys that they were proceeding with
investigations in their territory.
A delegation of postoffice and postal
employes left a letter for the president
askinir him to reenmmend that enneress
Federal Commission Report Points
to Hoarding of Goods. .
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Although
prices of practically all important foods
have shown substantial increase dur
ing the last year, etocks of food held
in storage on June 1 this year were
approximately 20 per cent greater than
those held on June 1, 1918, according to
a memorandum showing the relation
between storage figures and prices is
sued today by the federal trade com
mission. Government stocKs were ex
cluded from the comparison.
This storage is credited to a waiting
"for a world demand which is not now
here, but which is expected when hunger-impelled
strikers secure higher
wages with which higher food prices
can be paid."
To show that the "law of supply and
demand is not working," the commis
sion listed eight staple foods which on
June 1 showed an increase in sotcka
withheld from the market, ranging
from 3 to 298 per cent over siocks on
June 1,N1918, and in each instance there
was shown to have been a substantial
advance in the wholesale price during
that period. Stocks of frozen fowls
showed a maximum increase of 298 per
cent and the price despite this fact in
creased 3 cents a pound. Wheat stocks
showed an increase of 174 per cent with
an increase in price of 31 cents; flour
stocks an increase of 21 per cent with
an increase in the price per barrel of
nearly $3; egg stocks an increase of
9.8 per cent wirh an increase in price of
11 cents, and butter stocks an increase
of 129 per cent with the price soaring
12 cents above last year's figure. Salt
beef, canned salmon and canned corn
completed the items in this table, the
latter showing an increase of 91 per
cent in stocks with an increase in price.
All dry storage stocks, according to
the commissions figures, showed an
average increase of 124 per cent.
Increases in other cold storage stocks
were shown as rouows: cured Deer,
103 per cent; frozen lamb and mutton,
91 per cent; frozen pork, 20 per cent.
and pickled pork 10 per cent.
SEGRUE.
York World. Pub-
Ronmanla'a Demand Punitive.
At the time these promises were made
the Roumanian forces were In full re
treat before Bela Kun legions, provi
sions and other supplies now demand
ed by the Roumanians can be classed
only as punitive indemnity, for they
are not needed at Roumania at this
time. Roumanians will have surplus
food when their harvest is in.
Doubtless the demands are based on
the fa.et that the Austro-Hungarians
looted Roumania pretty, thoroughly in
the months preceding the armistice,
but the fact remains that if the Rou
manians are permitted to strip Hun
gary of the things Hungary requires
for economic existence, the allies will
have to pay the bill, in one way or
another.
Food shortage today in Budapest ap
proaches a condition of famine, owing
to the refusal of the farmers to for
ward their products to the city. Mr.
Hoover's organization had arranged to
send food there, but there is little
likelihood that this can be done now.
since whatever might he sent would
doubtless be seized by the Roumanians
to secure their claims on the Magyar
state.
No more critical situation has ever
confronted the statesmen assembled
in Paris. It will unquestionably be
hard to find a solution.
"Looked Like Ilolshevikl," Says
Roumanian Officer Responsible

BUDAPEST. Aug. S. (Special cable.)
Eleven Hungarians were shot last
night on the outskirts of Budapest sim
ply because, in the words of the Rou
manian officer responsible for giving
the order, "they looked like bolsheviki."
it seems as if the Roumanian au
thorities are determined to continue to
flout the allies' wishes and commands.
The occupation of Budapest, besides
being an impertinence and a political
blunder, took place in the face of "ad
vice" (to use no stronger word) of the
American and Italian representatives
here. Apart from the fact that there
has been no military success on their
part to justify occupation of the Hun
garian capital, tne Roumanians are not
fitted to deal with the extraordinrilv
difficult and delicate political and
economic situation.

Enormous Catches Reported Made by
Operators but Little Distance
Off Coast of Oregon.
MARSHFIELD. Or., Aug. 7. (Spe
cial.) a secret of great importance
which had been carefully guarded
leaked out when fishing schooners of
varied size and construction called at
Port Orford within the past few weeks
io lane on supplies and obtain fresh
water.
It was through these calls that it
became known that craft from the
Columbia river and Puget sound belong
ing to the Alaska Packing company
MQ Deen reaping tremendous halibut
harvests on banks 21 milps off the
coast, running from the California line
to some distance north of Coos bay.
Suspicions were aroused on Coos bay
several weeks ago, when two fishing
sthooncrs in need of repairs called
here and reported that their cargoes
of 6000 and 10,000 pounds of halibut
had been caught "up north." Fisher
men here could not believe that schoon
ers would take catches of that size
and then come down here to search fur
ther, as the masters claimed.
The reports at Port Orford developed
that as high as 25 and 30 boats were
and still are on the banks continually,
and catches are reported to be of un
usual volume. The banks, according
to-those who let out the information,
are but SI to 105 fathoms in depth and
have proved a splendid fishing field.
