Famine Breeds Revolution "The Russian revolution was a food riot and oven yet that ally is tempo rarily paralyzed. Responsibility rests on our government for failure of dem- acracy thru a shortage of food." Turning to domestic conditions, Mr. Hoover said this country had been experiencing "unprecedented prices and rampant speculation," citing how middlemen and all other persons In tho distribution processes have been purchasing Increasing supplies to avert Individual shortages. Mr. Hoover cited tho canning trade as an example where tho entire output of vegetables and fish for 1917 has been disposed of already before it has even reached tho canners. They predicted further high prices. Thou sands of men, ho said, who hereto fore have never owned a dollar's worth or food stuff aro now speculat ing in necessities. American Prices Highest. "The averngo prices to tho con sumer In countries where food ad ministration Is now In effect are low er than those now prevailing in tho United States," he said. "In England the price of bread is even 25 per cent below tho price wo pay. I believe that unless some administration of food Is taken we will look back at theso prices as being moderate." Mr, Hoover denied that the bill es tablishes a food dictatorship. Ho characterized the purposes of food ad ministration as to mobilize the peo ple In order to carry out tho advice given them by the government offi cials tnd to decentralize the' func tions of the administration in order to contrallze the function Into the various states. A commission lo take charge of production and distribution of flour sugar and possibly a few other prin cipal commodities, Mr. Hoover said.. Is being contemplated. Aim to Stalmllzo Prices. "Provisions for tho government to buy and sell commodities will be necessary for use only ns to a very few prime commodities," ho said. "Tho aim Is to stabalizo prices and thus eliminate speculation. Wo need I an artificial balance wheat. By set ting up a wheat commission we can buy wheat, regulate Its storage and transportation and handle it unex ported or sold In this country. If we do not do Ibis wheat prices may relapse on account of our not beng able to store and carry It, with spec ulaos securing tho solo benefit and farmers tho loss. We can contract tomorrow with the allies for a certain return for every j bushel of wheal we can sell. By con- trolling prices nt interior terminals wo can assuro millers their supplies and simplify transportation." Sugar Situation. As to sugar, Mr. Hoover said Amer-j J3 -nri...... ...-a ....,.,,...tl,ii- with llin ! O allies in Culm and that the proposed sugar commission could cooperate with the ullicd purchasers, the Amer ican refiners and Cuban producers, stabullzlng and reducing prices as well as removing speculative incen tives. The proposed appropriation of flSO.noo.OOO for government pur chase of commodities, .Mr. Hoover said, might prove too small but It is needed for banking facilities. "We feel confident consumers prices of sugar and flour will be re duced as well as others thru our co operation with leaders of other trades," ho said. "We must have power to license grain elevators so that they may play their part in the team work of tho government." E IN I IN FRANCE LONDON, June 11'. Arthur J. Hul- four, Bcerelary for foreign affairs, was greeted with cheers today when he made his first appearance in the house of commons since his return from the United States. "I don't think I ran usefully add anything lo what has appeared in the press," said Mr. Balfour.

A large, amount of supplies sent on the cruis er Des Moines and the naval collier Caesar have been wnitinir ut Alex andria ever since the t'nited Slates entered the war, for distribution (o refugees.
