WHENEVER the United Staffs senate indulges in the
luxury of an executive session from wliieh the mere
public and the retMorters are kept out, some mi.srepresen
tative can be relied upon the make a fool out of himself.
Our American house of lords had a gabfe.st the other
day in which it relieved itself of some of the spleen it has
been cherishing against the president, the press and the
public. One master mind spoke of Herbert C. Hoover as
"a man who had emerged from obscurity only a short time
ago and whom the administration now wants to make a
food dictator." Another characterized him as unfit be
cause he was not a "business man."
Long before the war, it just so happens that Hoover
had made himself one of the master mining engineers of
the world, with an income far bevond that of most of the
jackleg lawyers who are now accidentally sitting in our
senate. Wherever the engineers who were doing the
world's big work foregathered, Hoover was known and
admired and welcomed.
Hut it was the war which gave him his splendid oppor
tunity. Dropping his own life's work and the big emol
uments it brought him, he devoted himself without reserve
and without pay to the Christ-like service of feeding and
doming 1 1 .uuu.uuu Jjeitnans ana I'rcnenmen.
In all the history of civilization there has been no job
like it and in all history no such job was ever carried on
with greater smoothness, swiftness, eeonomv, efficiency
and honesty. Xo history of the war can ever be written
without devoting pages of glowing praise to Herbert, C.
Hoover. His name will be known and honored when the
nonentities in our present senate have become nothing but
names ot those who once lor a brier space held omee.
More opposition lias developed to the administration's
food control measures than all other war measures. The
opposition does not come from the producer or the con
sumer. It comes from the middlemen, the speculators and
distributors principally from the speculators who see
their golden opportunity in preying upon the public.
.rood growing must be encouraged and the producer is
anxious for government cooperation. Food distribution
and consumption must be facilitated, and the consumer
clamors for government supervision. But food hoarding,
loou monopiv, ioou waste, and manipulation or stocks must
be prohibited. Only those who seek profit in others' dis
tress protest federal food control.
In Herbert C. Hoover the administration has found the
man for the job the man whose efficiency in feeding the
Belgians won the praise of German efficiency and whose
efficiency in feeding America will, if backed up by con
gress, stimulate production, facilitate distribution, penal
ize speculation, and enable everyone in a land of plenty to
have sufficient food at reasonable prices as well as feed the
allied peoples :ot democracy.

ZURICH, May 29. An official tel
egram from Budapest says that Kin
peror Charles has appointed Count
Julius Andrassoy premier of Hungary.
Thero has been a vacancy in the
Hungarian premiership since May 23
when Count Stephen Tisza, Austrian
"Iron man" and leader of the pro
German party in the monarchy, re
signed his post. Differences with the
throne over franchise reform meas
ures were assigned as a reason for
tho resignation; Count TIsza's pro
posals were reported to be narrower
In scopo than those tho monarchy
favored.
Count Andrassey Is regarded as a
liberal of tho advanced typo. With
Count Appouy and other opposition
leaders he participated in an agree
