Washington, Feb. 23, An amend
ment to the revenue bill, empowering
the president to seize foodstuffs
"wrongfully held for the purpose of
unjust Increases In prices," In viola
tion of anti-trust laws, was Intro
duced In the senate today by Senator
Lewis, administration whip.
The amendment aimed at the cold
storage Interests which the federal
trade commission Is known to hold
In part responsible for the present
food situation. The amendment pro
vides that foods thus confiscated are
to be at once sold by the federal gov
ernment "to those whose necessities
are first to be relieved,"
Prices for re-sale of the foodstuffs
to the needy are to be fixed by the
government and shall be limited to
the actual necessities of each purch
aser. In an effort to get Immediate re
lief fnmi the acute food situation In

plan to press Into coastwise trade for

These would be lined to replace the
fleet of merchant ships which desert

outbreak of the war.

said more lliau million tuns of ships
have been diverted to the use of
France alone.
It was In this couuectlon that lite
premier made forceful, Impassioned
pleas fur more tonnage "not only
for ordinary needs, but for military
necessity. "
"The gravest measures are necessi
tated," he declared solemnly, "other
wise there will be disaster."
1-ondon, Frfb. 21, "Oraveal mea-
aures are necessary, otherwise there
will be disaster," Premier Uloyd
Georgs declared In the house of com
mons today, discussing the shortage
of British tonnage.
"There Is a shortage of tonnage,
not only for ordinary needs, but for
the military necessities, as well," he
declared. "More than a million tons
of llritlsh shipping haa been assigned
to France as Its share.
"The gravest measures are neces
sary, otherwise there will be dis
aster." The premier addressed a special
ly called meeting of the house of
commons on the question of restric
tion of Imports. Ilia speech had
originally been set for Tuesday, but
was postponed. It wu announced,
because Interchanges between Eng
land and ber allies on the subject
matter had not been completed.
The premier asserted thai "enor
mous sacrifices" will be required by
the llritlsh people to achieve a vic
tory. Such sacrifices, he said, would
"test the national grit."
"There is no sure road to victory,"
he said. "We must find ships to
bear Iron ore at all costs," the pre
mier asserted.
Continuing IJoyd-Oeorge proposed
to dispense with si) non-essential
Importations, Including timber. He
announced a minimum wage of 2T
shillings weekly to all farm work
ers. In addition to timber, l.loyd
George announced that Importation
of tomatoes nnd fruits would be prohibited.
