Senator Lewis Promises Pres

Stand on Situation
Tolilo, March 10.
Matiukata and others of the elder
statesmen are'about to confer at To
lilo on a settlement of the lone-stand-Ine
agitation for the removal of the
Teraurhl cabinet, whoso resignation
Is expected at an early date. Tlio
arlous pnrtlct arc inniiciiv critic for
power and n coalition cabinet Is pos-l
sible. The Siberian niicstlnn Is In
abejance pending a domestic settle
ment. Washington, Match 19.
The Japanese embassy, In announc
lng that no decision had been
reached In Toklo on the contemplated
Intervention In Siberia, said that
Japan still la giving the most careful
consideration to the "fundamental"
questions Involved, which do not re
late to expediency, but to the vital In
terests of Japan, of the Allies ajid of
Hussln
Although .Tnpin Ins not nnproachsl
the United States Government con
rernlng financial assistance. In the
event tho Toklo Government decides to
occupy eastern Siberia. It was lenned
n an authoritative quartet that she
would epect to receive loans from
the American Treasury to cover her
ar purchases In this country.
As President Wilson Is opposed to
Japanese or any other Intervention In
Siberia. It was considered doubtful
If this Government would feel justified
In assisting Japan to make effect he
her intervention. It was believed In
well-Informed circles that the possl.
ble denial of material suppott by tho
United States Is largely responsible
for the delay In announcing a decision
at Toklo.
Would Need Funds
Japan, it was learned, would not lm- (lerinan Ambissador, and she had u
mediately need financial aid from this Itched S3000 from him nt one time She
countiy, but If the occupation should I professed It was a loan, officials said
Inke nlace In lareo force and comnllca. I
tlons, Including an upilslng ot the
Itusslan people ugalnst the Invasion'
should ttko place, there was believed
to be a probability that Japan would
be compelled to call upon the Allies
and America for assistance In pro
vlslonlng and maintaining her aimj
in Siberia.
After a call at the White Houie to
day Senator Lewis, of Illinois, the
Democratic whip of the Senate,
catcd his belief that President
would make known to the counti
soon the attitude of the Government
lonum wiu jvussmlii aiiuauuu, oe null
It was safe to say tho President would !
fulfill his promise mat mere would be i
no secret diplomacy.
A statement issued today by Boris
BakhmctefT, the Russian ambassador
appointed by Kerensky, Indicated that
Russian dlplothats Anally have reached
conclusions which are hostile to
Japanese Intervention, although that
subject was not specifically mentioned
In the formal statement.
The ambassador asserted that the
liberation of Russia from the violent
peace which threatened both the dls
ruptlon of the country and the extinc
tion of tho hope of freedom was "con
ceivable only with the co-operation
and direct support of the Allies," but
in Russian diplomatic circles it was
asserted that the "dliect sunnort" dlil
not contemplate Japanese interven-
United Slates Aids Inspiration
That such Intervention really was
not In tho mind of the ambassador
was believed further to have been
manifested by his concluding words,
to tho effect that the embassy had
found inspiration and confidence In
the attitude and assistance of the
United States.
This statement was the first author
lied by Ambassador nakhmeteft since
the rise of the Rolshevlkl to power,
when he denounced them and their uro
gram, it Indicated that the diplomatic
representatives of the Kerensky govern
ment have not entirely lost hope,
Tho statement was thought to Indi
cate also that the assistance destied by
Russians Is not foreign Intervention,
such as Japan contemplates, but encour
agement and material assistance, which
would have to be given either In Si
beria or In the Caucausus, where gov
ernment and army do not recognize the
Bolshevik peace, or both.

PACKERS' PROFITS
REDUCED BY HOOVER
Food Administration Answers
Chnrges That It Favored
Meat Producers
WanblngtoD, March 19.
Claims that the food administration
has greatly restricted the profits of
the pickers were made' before the Sen
ate Agricultural Committee today by
Joseph P. Cotton, head of the meat
division of the food administration
This was the answer of the food ad
ministration to charges which have been
made that the packers have benefited
by the acts of tho food administration.
Cotton told the members of the com
mittee tint through tho licensing power
of the food administration the profits
of the packers on every dollar are lim
ited to two and a half cents. Further
more, he ssld that their entire profit
la limited to 9 per cent of their In
vested capital. "This Is the first time
ail' one ever took nn thing away from
the pickers," Cotton declares He then
pointed out that profits before the pres
ent contiol have run as high as 30 per
cent.
Members of the committee took ex
ceptions to Cotton's belief that these
icatrlctlons worked 11 hardship upon the
packer Senator Gronna. showed by
his questions nnd cross-examination that
pickers nre allowed to make 9 per cent
upon borrowed money, for which they
are palng but 4 or E per cent. Senator
'I hnmpson, of Kansas, also took excep
tions to the amount nf profits allowed
Cotton then explained that It had
been all based upon the normal pre-war
profit theor set forth by the. Piesldent
and that It was the intent to allow the
packers the same profits which they en
jicil before the Huropean war broke
out
As the chief purchaser of meats for the
VUles, Cotton admitted that tho food
administration has the power to control
the prices of pork. He claimed, how
ever, thn tthe price which the food ad
ministration fixed as n minimum was
reached upon the advice of producers.
Thus far Cotton said the food admin
istration Ins not Interfered with tho
beef mnikct. He stated that it was his
belief however, that before very long
thn Allied purchases ot beef will be so
Fie it that It will bo possible for the
food administration to control the prices.
The present estimates of the Allies' pur
chases of beef for the future aro enor
mous. Cotton declared1 He stated that
If the time did come when the food ad
ministration might be able to fix the
price of beef consumers and producers
villi both be given equal opportunity to
have hearings.
