today. They are In line with Presi
dent Wilson's suggestion for reserva

prevent new negotiations and deal
with the right of withdrawal from

The McNary group of republlcana

whether prices are excessive, was
authorised In a resolution by Senator
Reed. Missouri democrat. . The reso
lution, was adopted by the senate.
Senator Palmer, before the house
agricultural committee, opposed the
proposed amendments of the food
control art authorising the president
to fix wholesale and retail prices of

executive power was too drastic and
would provoke discussion, thus, de
laying the passage of other amend
ments. The senator said that with

whole task of bringing the country
back to normal conditions of lite and
Industry 'waits upon decision of the
senate with regard to the terms of
peace. 1
"I venture thus again to urge my
advice that the action of the senate
with regard to the treaty be taken
at the earliest practicable moment
because the problems with which we
are face to face In the readjustment
of our national life are of the most
