We are getting' to a place where divisions are being ordered home from franco. We want to bring these ellvi- - s'ons to the port nearest their place of crlpn. and then as soon as the dlvlevou ca be shaken down we want to give It an opportunity to parade and be seen in the nearest large city from which the men como. Tor Instance, the Black-haw- k (Eighty-sixth- ) Division comes largely from Chicago. I am hoping to U able to work out a plan by which a substantial port of that division can parade In Chicago. Mirny Physical I.lnittn tlor. \I notice that the statement has been printed that I wanted 'the Rnlnbow-Dl-Mslo- to oomo to Washington; I hope that will be possible. The Twenty-sev-int- h Division, 1 understand. Is on priority crdera to como home. It will go to Camp Upton and then, no doubt. It ul'l e brought Into New York and allowed to parade., \1 am not trying to announce a fixed policy, because tho physical condition aro very\ different. With regard to the lllnckhawk Division, which will go to Camp Grant, the camp Is a considerable ulstancc irom Chicago and the train arrangements for getting tho whole divi- sion to Chicago will be very complicated and perhaps Impossible. One plan nay le to havo the troops sent through the lity first, allowed to detrain, parule, and then entrain again foe tho omp, thus breaking the ralltoad Journey. \I want tho people of tne country to know that we arc workiu.r on tin mat- - to- - and that Just so far as it li possible nt want the parade to bo held. In the rase of the Twenty-scveiV- of course, u will b. r.enr New YorK. and it mav be possible to parade the whole division. it.

HOOVER TELLS OF AID TO SMALL PACKERS Replies to Senate Critics by Citing Swift s Losses. Paris, Jan. 23. Herbert C. Hoover, Food Administrator, made a statement y In reply to criticisms of htm made In the United States Senate. He said i \I apparently emerge In a new light as the friend of the Chicago packers. At the same time tho mnll brings a report from Swift & Co. blaming tho Food Ad- ministration for reducing their profits by 110,000,000 during the lait year. I do rot Imagine that the packers would ap- preciate a wide circle of such friends. \I notleo nlso that I committed a crlmo by holding the October Joint con ference of rarmers and representatives of forty small packers, as well as the big packers', together with represejita lives- - or allied Governments for the pur- pose of settling on a price for exports of pork that would give the American farmer a square deal and n distribution of orders that would protect the small packers. . \Wo have even tried to secure tho con- tinuance of thoso war nrrangements through the armistice period nnd the opening of other markets, because the American farmer did his duty and pro- duced goods. \If the American farmer nnd the smnlt packer now feel that these arrangements are wrong It would be the greatest bur- den off our shoulders If we could know-I- t quickly. Tho British Government Is particularly anxious to be relieved from these arrangements.\ U.S. PACKERS HOW FACE BRITISH PROBE Con Untied from Ftrtl Page, plied iMr. Swift. \The need Is now as great as It nan during the actual war fare. I should s.iy that tho regulation has been advantageous lioth to the con sumer, the producer and tho Govern ment. It has been the only possible way to make shipments nbroad.\ Mr. Swift explained there were 25,000 stockholders In Swift A Co. nnd that the majority of the stock of a capitalization of $150,000,000 was not owned by his family. In 1918 the firm earned $21,000,000, or 11.2 per rent, on the capital and surplus. Earnings in 1917 amounted to 22 per cent., In 1918 the earnings for each $100 Invested amounted to $1.7'!, whereas In previous years it was $3.98. , \What per cent, of your business Is not concerned with meat packing?' asked Representative Sweet. On I\rr Cent. Parkins Ilualnrsa. \I cannot make nn exact answer to that, but I would say that more than 90 per cent, relates entirely to the pack- ing industry proper,\ replied Mr. Swift \Swift & Co, branched out Into buying and distributing butter, eggs and poultry because refrigeration was necessary and It was found to bo a related part of our business. McNeil. Llbbev & McNeil. wtllch was onco owned by Swtft & Co., became packers of fruits and wo have distributed for them. That ts our only connection with tho distribution of any thing outside of the packing line.\ \Will Government ownership of stock- yards benefit the producer?\ asked Mr. Sweet. \It will make no difference to the producer who owns the stockyards if they are properly and efficiently con- ducted.\ replied Mr. Swift. Mr. Swift disclaimed that the five big packers could control the price of meat on the hoof. He said 35 per cent, of the beef killed went to tho Ave big packers, that the Independents use 85 per cent, of It and the remaining 30 per rent, was killed by the farmers and small men In different communities.

He characterized tho bill ns \class legislation of the mtst pronounced type.\ such as has not been applied to any other Industry Ho said less dangerous legislation would provide for a form of Government supervision to Insuro against violations of the law. After denying that Swift & Co. Is party to any combination or agreement with other packers he continued : \The packers nre In open and keen competition with each other In the pur- chase of live stock and the sale of meats. Perhaps the most conclusive proof of what I say Is that after In- vestigations of over a year the Trade Commission is unable to deny that the profits of the packers aro so small that they could bo wiped out without affoctlng the price of live stock or tho price of meat by more than a fraction of a cent a pound,\ Commenting on the Trade Commis- sion's proposal to divorce packers from their stockyard holding Mr. Swift said: Since tho primary desire of the pack ers In connection with the stockyarr's efficient service Swift -- o would be perfectly willing to sell such in terests outright at a fair market price provided the present high standard of efficiency In operations bs continued.\ SCHWAB ENDS GERMAN MYTH. mtr-e-l Mnn Shatters Clahus for Ef ficiency In Nfccl Industry.

C ALDER BAPS SUGAR TAX Hitchcock Arraigns Packers nnd Strongly Indorses Hoover's Food Control. Special Detpatcli to Tar. Sox. Washinoto.v, Jan. 23. The outstand- ing features of 's debate In tho Senate on tho $100,000,000 o bill, were Senator Hitchcock's defense of Herbert Hoover and the denunciation of the measure by Senator Cummins down) who challenged the good oense nc A ma. inn a, ,n tr,einTiin in Tne p.-- tablishment In tho numerous buffer States which now surrounds tho former German and Austro-Hungarja- n empires. The passago of the nntl-fami- bill to- morrow Is expected with only about twenty votes against It. Of secondary Importance were tho spcechc of Senator Sherman (111.), who drew a humorous romparlson of Presi- dent Wlhon's European sojournings with the percBrlnatlons of Don Quixote, and Senitor Calder's statement that the, Sucar Equalization Board, a corpora- tion organized and fostered by tho Food Administrator to stabilize sugar prices, was reaping a profit on miar sates which would approximate $30,000,000 this year and thereby placing what D mounted to a consumption tax upon tho people of tho United States. Oieat importance was attached to the sprch of Senator Hitchcock, who as- sailed tho Republicans for liaving charged that the $100,000,000 measure had boen drafted nnd forced upon Con- gress In the Interests of the meat pack- ing Industry. He defended Herbert Hoover vigorously against the charge that ho had promoted the Interests of tho \big live\- to tho\ dlsadvantaso of the lesser packers and the consumers. Arraigns PneklnRr Combine, \1 havo not any use for the packers' combine,\ Senator Hitchcock said. \I am glad to support any measure that will result In bringing them under Gov- ernment control nnd I know Mr. Hoover Is. I am glad to vote for tax bills wlilch will take from them their uncon- scionable profits, if they have mado any, but If the word of the United States or of a recognized official of the United Stales has been given to the packers and they have acted on It. It Is our busl-ntK- t) to see that it Is made good. \What did Mr. Hcover do? Under the powers tliU wero entrusted to him by the Congress l:c was under an obligation to use those powers for the purpose of stimulating all the energies necessary to win the war. and ho did It.' Senator Borah (Idaho), who has been fighting the appropriation since the measure camo before the Senate, asked Senator Hitchcock If he believed that Mr. Hoover or his subordinates utilized the powers reposed In them o put In- dependent packers out of business,. \No. and I deny that he did it,\ an- swered Mr. Hitchcock with warmth. \I say that he did,\ retorted Mr. Bo- rah. ,ara Hoover Kept Profits Down. \I know something of the struggle Mr. Hoover has had with the packing combine In the United States, and I want to say that If there had not been a Hcover and a Fond Administration the packers would havo made n great deal more money than they aid, saia ueua lor Hitchcock. \I say that tho evidence la sufficient to show that they did do It,\ Insisted Mr. Borah. \I deny it,\ Mr. Hitchcock nnswered in earnest voice. \I say that they did,\ Mr. Borah snapped back. \I deny It absolutely.\ retorted Mr. Hitchcock. \I say that Mr. Hoover has Veen vindicated and has won every fight that he has had while In tho United States. He cdmes out of this war with a reputation better than any other pub- lic official. He comes out nt tho head of a great army of volunteer citizens. who at fcls request havo saved and skimped and helped him to conserve the food that was necessary to win tho war: and I want to say to you that In my opinion Mr. Hoover stands in the hearts of the American people equal to anyman In tho United States. 'T'am very sure that there is no mem- ber of the Senate who If ho ran for President against Mr. Hoover would bs blo to poll as many voles as he would roll.\ \I have not nny douht,\ Senator Borah commented, \but that there Is no one man who would be able to raise so large a cnmpalgn fund.\ \Packers Must Take Orders.\ Then Senator Hitchcock read the fol- lowing letter written by President Wil- son to Mr. Hoover in February, 191S : May I not call your attention to this Important poln.t: There Is a pressing need of the full cooperation of tho packing trade, of every officer nnd employee In the work of hurry- ing provisions nbroad. Do the packers understand that they nro engaged In a war service In which they must take orders and act together under tho direction of the Food Administration If tho Food Administration requires? \Tho nttack on this hill, this attack on a man who Is off In Europe. Is a stab In the back which Is utterly unworthy,\ Senator Hitchcock concluded, \There l not an official of tho United States who has rendered greater services than Mr. Hoover, and to my mind It is an out rageous thing during Ills absence to make these attacks.\ Senator Cummins followed Senator Hitchcock, opposing the appropriation vigorously and coupling his opposition with tho charge that tho role purpose of tho measure was the creation of s In enstern Uurope, I challenge tho wisdom of the United State Joining Great Britain and other European rnncra in eaiauusning ni leasi ten now sovereignties surrounding the i old German F.mplro. I will not vote for any appropriation to carry out such n j plan. Tho money la needed to supply food and assist in making tho project possible. Tho two propositions are bound together. The appropriation Is essential to prevent the spread of Bolshevism and make effective tho contemplated creation of new nations.\ flcinanda n Helpless Germany. \Wo encouraged tho dependencies of tho Central F.mplrcs to revolt,\ Inter- rupted Senator Walsh, \and them- selves up ns separate flo ernments, Wc Incited them to rebellion, Is thcro not something duo from U3 to them because of this attitude?' \These dependencies) were all hostllo to Germany,\ nnswered Senator Cum- mins. \I do not remember any encour agement that promised we should fight Germany on their behalf or protect them from other aggression. The pledges now suggested are entirely different from ex- pressions of good will. Tho expression 'making tho world safe for democracy' has no meaning. It Is as temporary as the mornlnc mist. It Is an elusive phrase. The reason for our entering the war was a realization that If Germany da- - feated the Allien she Immediately would attack tho United States and overthrow our Institutions and civilization. It took tho American peoplo, a long time to realize this. Tho only safety for the futuro Is to render Germany helpless disarm her, to prevent the poaslbllty her being In a position to attack any nation. \I would keep no American soldiers to guard Germany. I would bring every ono of them home. If In tho future Ger- many should train armies nnd build ships and Great Britain nnd France wore unablo to meet her encroachments: then tho United States again will go over and help.\ The Modern Hon Unlxotr. Senator Sherman deplored the low state to which, he said, the America-- ! Congress had fallen In public esteem. \We havo got to tho point where everybody regards Congress with open and undisguised contempt,\ said Mr. Sherman. \Hero Is a cable despatch from Europe on tho strength of which Senators In tumultuous baste fall ovtfr each other to announce support of It. I shall vote against every appropriation hereafter unless It Is absolutely to either the civilian or1 military need. I will no longer lend my volci or my vote here to being tho Good of tho world. \Every night I pull down my old dog- - , . . - .. . OxlTnl. T hnno Vmewhere theri a Cervantes in this country living.

Ho re marked the Chicago com price ns double thnt st Buenos Aires. He said then wore 750,000 barrels of flour In storage with the holders threatening to under- sell the Food Admlnistrat'on's price. He then made his charge that the Food Ad ministration had forced up the price of sugar, saying : The Food Administration formed a corporation under tho laws of Delawa'e called the Sugar Equalization Board and bought up the entire crop of Cuban rnno sugar. Tho board pays tho sugar pro- ducers Rta cents a pound In Cuba, mak- ing the cost 6.9 cents, duty paid, and tie. ltvrred to refiners along the Atlantic coast. And now comes tho nigger In the woodpile. The board Instead of sailing to the market at 0.9 cents a pound, charges 7.28 cents, making a clear profit of 3S cent\ a pound. If this Is kept up the board will make a clear profit of $30,000,000 this year on sugar. This may be regarded as a consumption (ax on tho people.\ Tho Senate at i o clock took a reces.i until 11 o'clock when of the $100,000,000 bill will be resumed. KING HONORS FIN0CCHIAR0.
