"I have alwajs maintained In in con

. By JAMES M. BENNETT
.'tenliiff l.rdgcr htaff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 30,
Herbert Hoover hates hops.
Ho loathes liquor. '
Personally ho favors prohibition, but he will not permit hi? attitude on
the "dry" question to become an obstacle in the way of the development of his
office as Food Administrator of tho nation.
In brief, if Congress grants Hoover the power to conserve the grain
supply of the country he will be slow to striko at tho brewers and distillers.
This man, barely turned forty years, upon whose shoulders President
Wilson has placod the control of the food administration as n war emergency
measure, doesn't rush into new channels of endeavor until he has weighed
their problems. He thinks, then acts.
And while Congress is speeding food legislation, Hoover isn't running
into snags. He's trying to steer a clear course. His one aim is conservation of
food. He's working twelve to fifteen hours a day on the problem of feeding
this country and its allies over the seas.
OUTLINES HIS VIEWS
Hoocr outlined some of his plans today to the Evening Ledger.
First, he went into the matter of tho grain supply and the liquor problem.
If he is granted nuthority to control the brewing and distilling interests
he does not wnnt to decide the question hinuelf. He would pass it along to
others.
He favors the appointment by the President of a commission to inquire into
the condition of the grain growers, the amount consumed by the brewers and
distillers and the effect the use of grain for these purposes would have on the
food supply.
"The food board," Hoover said, "plans the mobilization of the country's
resources for tho sustenance of tho people. We are not interested now in the
condition of the brewers and distillers. I know full well that the people would
be better off without liquor; but the issue with which wo have to deal is food,
how to conserve it nnd how to get it from the producer to the consumer at
the lowest possible price. I want the growers to have fair profits for their
labors. I want the middleman who reaps undue profits eliminated. I want food
to go on the tables of tho people in model ate circumstances at prices that will
not mean robbery.
hacks thi: i,i:vi:n bill
' It Is mj nlm to carry out tho provisions
of tho l.ovcr food bill, when It Is passed
by Congress Tho measure has tho In
dorsement of the President It was framed
after the President hid confeired many
times with Secretary Houston, several mem
bers of Congress and mhclf
'"Hie bill places tho right to lontrol neces
sities of nil hinds in the hands of tlm Presi
dent It ill"!! givi'S him the right to fl
prkes of foods. If lie mi desire"
".Mr I.evtr's measure also authorizes the
President to II x rules for the control of
exchanges and boards of trade throughout
the countrv The Pre ddent would have tho
right to stop the operations of these ex
dimiBCM If lie believed such action would
serve the bei-t Interests of the countrj "
"What does the measure specify as neces
saries?' Mr Hoover was asked
rood clothing, shoes and fuel are tho
leadln Items under this head," lie replied
"There Is nothing drastic In tho bill
l'ood denlern and grain exchanges need
have no fiar If thev operate within the
law standards of quallt and value will
bo adopted Denleis must obr) these pro
visions Then vv can proceed with tho
tasU of feeding and clothing the millions
hero and abroad
WOULD STOP HUAItDtXG
"An Important feature of the l.ever bill
is the section Hint authorizes tho Presi
dent to prevctit tho hoardlne by growers
and dealers of food supplies, the monopo
lization or tho taking of excesslvo profits
Tho Government would have the light to
taUu control of manufacturing establish
ments and operate them If the situation
demanded it to assure the distribution of
supplies at equitable prices
"A ehocU on wasto Is provided and this
Is a wise plan
"It would be unlawful under the I.evcr
bill, to commit or even permit waste that
Is preventable It alw would bo .1 viola
tion of law to restrict or attempt to re
strict the supply or distribution of foods
or to sell goods at excessive rates of profit
Piovision Is made for tho changing, If
desired, ot milling gndes or tho mixing of
various grains in the making of Hour.
"The bill is strictly a war measure It
is far reaching and Is operative through
out the countrj
Mr Hoover has opened ollUes In the new
building of tho Department of the Interior
He's .1 burner of the midnight oil Thats
how ho made his millions In mining work
ing while the other fellow slept
He has brought his olIKe frirco from Lon
don These are joung men who worked in
behalf of tho Helglans They served abroad
without pay They will get no pay here
Hoover, when ho agreed to accept the
ofllio of rood Administrator, stipulated that
no salarj bo attached to the position. Ho
may, however, find himself drawing a
salary before manv weeks There is somo
sentiment In Administration circles for
making tho l'ood Administrator a member
of tlie President's Cabinet
While Washington Is humming with war
industry. Hoover pushes along Congress
is working on the hill that will make him
I'dod Administrator
Hoover Is a good listener His callers
begin arriving early and tho stream con
tinues all day Man come to tell him how
to run his oliice, others, the curious, want
to seo tho man who fed the millions of
Delglum who Induced the Hmpcror of Ger
man) to permit the work of the relief com
mission to continue even when some ot the
Kaiser's closo advisers wanted It stopped
Hoover didn't 'hat an eye" when somo
ono cried out in tho .Senate. "Who Is
Hoover?" He wasn't jarred when Dr
Harvey W Wiley, former head of the
Government Food Bureau, said, "Hoover is
a, mining engineer nnd has not been taught
food values " '
Hoover Isn't worrying about critics He's
thinking of food. He sas ho will bring food
within reach of the average pocketbook
That a his war-time task He says he will
succeed. His friends believe he will

ON TUESDAY. Juno 0, Philadelphia will liavo nn opportunity to testify to tlio
wholo world whether tho citizens of today have maintained tho traditions
established b) the founders of tlie Hcpubllc,
Alonu materia! lines there can bo no doubt ns to the progress, continuous
and with Incrcuslns volume, that lias marked tho history of Philadelphia from
tho day of Us foundation, 234 jeara bbo.
On several occasions dtirlnB this lone period tho people, of tlio city liao
proved by patriotic action that tho city's Growth nlonK moral lines has been ns
great as its matctlal development.
On Tuesday nctt Philadelphia Is called upon In another natlonnl crisis to
provo that the men of today are as feat less, ns conscientious, iih loyal as were
their fathers and forefathers.
In this broad spirit 1 appeal to all citizens for assistance In this most Im
portant event the registtntlon day under tho conscription law. Most earnestly
do I ask division registrars; nntl district registration boards lo give their time
ungrudgingly and as a frco-wlll offering to tho work assigned to thorn, lcgnrcllng
such scrvlco ns a new nntl welcome opportunity to ehow the quality of their
patriotism
1 ask all cmplovors to lesllfy lo)nlty by granting thoso willing to serve n
holiday on registration day with full pa). And I appeal to all rhlladclphlans be
tween the ages of tvventy-ono nnd thirty-one to register so promptly and with
such a hearty good will thut tho whole nation will untlcrstnnU that the slacker
has no place In the old mother city of tho Republic
To all citizens of all nges I commend the wisdom of 1111 utllttido toward tho
new recutita who nro registering for service under tho flag which shall make
plain to nil that these recruits are men to bo regarded as worth) of tho highest
honor men who arc defending not onlv the nation In this hour of crisis, but
