NO. 70 SENATE OPENS DISCUSSION OF 14 PRINCIPLES' Frelinghuyscn Calls on Wilson to Interpret "Peace Points" INSISTS NATION HASN'T ACCEPTED PROPOSALS Walsh, of Montana, Declares Delay in Criticism Proves Acquiescence PUT OFF CUMMINS PLAN Borah Moves for Open Session During Consideration of Treaty, By the Associated Press Wellington, Dec. 4. General discussion of President "Wil son's fourteen peace: principles was started In the Senate today by n speech ot Senator Frelingliuysen, of New Jer sey, Republican, advocating a resolution he had' Introduced calling upon the President to make a public declaration Interpreting principles. Senator FrcllnBhuys'en said the Presi dent's fourteen principles were opep lo various Interpretations, and added: "The President 'should not on behalf of the American public male radical proposals until ho Is sure that they are Indorsed by the people." Durlns the debate, Senator Borah, ot Idaho, Republican. Introduced a resolu tion providing for publication of the peaco terms' as soon as agreed upon, and" for open discussion during consid eration of tho treaty In the Senate. Declares View Indorsed Senator Walsh, of Montana, Democrat, said .that up to six weeks ago no Sen ator had expressed any criticism of the President's fourteen principles an nounced January 8 last, and conse quently, "the people of the world very rljfhtly assume that tho views of tho 'President were Indorsed by this great nation." Senator Polndxtr Interrupted to say that at' the tlmo the President an nounced hlSDrinclliloH criticism was gen erally' disapproved as an Interference with prosecution of the war, so the American, people were not to be deemed M' default for withholding- their expres sions, "Those, who were eriUcal," he added, "deprecated discussion of peace before we wore able to mobilize our forces to securothe victory essential to peace." Senator Knox said Senator Walsh had overlooked certain developments after tho President delivered his January 8 address. "So far as the Senate is estopped from criticising the points made by the Prcsi- dent," said Mr. Knox, "the action of thl body stands adverse to those facts for tho reason that within a day or two after the President's address Senator Lewis, of Illinois, Introduced a resolut'on pro posing indorsement by tho Senate of President Wilson's principles. That reso lution was considered by the committee and It was developed that it would cause spirited debate. The lesolutlon lies today In the pigeon hole of the For eign Relations Committee." Upholds tVllson'n Trip Senator Shafroth, of Colorado, Deino rrat. Intervened lo argue that President Wilson does not lose anyfuuthorlty by leaving the United States, lie cited a Missouri Supreme Court decision in which a Governor, who left the State's qojl, was held not to have lost any powers thereby. Senator Johnson, Republican, of Call- fornla, asked that the President inter pret his principles for the American people before Interpreting them for the Allied Governments. He said there were Senators Who did not indorse the four teen points when delivered and a month later, the president in another nddress, explained that his previous terms as laid don .by Jilm were only tentative and that there was nothing permanent about them, .Sqme of the principles were characterized by the California Senator as "nebulous, some Indescribable and some hot understood,'' and he said the .President was leaving the people not knowing what he meant or what he goes for." Action on the resolution of Senator Cummins, of Iowa, Republican, proposing that a Senate committee be sent to Paris for the peace conference, was post poned until tomorrow by the Senate For eign Relations' Committee today after an executive session to discuss the resolu tion and hear Senator Cummins In Its behalf. Rejection ! Expected When the meeting was over Adminis tration leaders said privately the resolu tion would not be approved. Most of the Democratic members of the committee Continued an rage liillit.

Housewives no longer will have to make affidavit to get their supplies. The price retailers may charge will remain the same a maximum of eleven cents a pound for granulated sugar. Announcement to this effect was made today by Jay Cooke, Federal food ad ministrator for Philadelphia. He Issued orders abolishing every restriction on the use of sugar in homes and restaurants. The order, he said, would be sent to all public eating places today, adding that all sugar bowls should be back In their place In the center of the tabjo early tomorrow. Some restaurant men may pull them out of storage, rinse off the dust, and put them into operation today. Food Administrator Cooke's order was Issued without official notice from Wash ington, aiid was made on the strength of newspaper dispatches saying that sugar rationing had been abandoned. Philadelphia, with the remainder of the country, went on sugar rations for the first time May 15. Since then tho restrictions have been made steadily more drostic, reducing the allotment of each person to two pounds a month. Continued Conierratlon Urged "Owing to the large movement ot Ioulslana sugar and western beet," said Mr. Cooke, in 'Issuing his order today, "the food administration has decided to lift all restrictions on sugar, both in the homes and restaurants. "Buying of sugar will rejurn at once to normal pre-war basis, although the price restrictions will be continued, no dealer being permitted to charge moro than eleven cents a pound, "Consumers are urged to continue to conserve sugar, however, In order that the present prices may be maintained." Ordera ltrstilrtlnr line Under the first food administration order controlling the use of sugar, issued May 13, each individual was allowed five pounds a month. The second reduc tion In the ration was made July 1, when the limit was fixed at three pounds a month. Then, on July 26, the ration was cut to two pounds a month. This order continued until after the armistice was signed. Just a few days ago, t!ffr-admlnlstratlon announced that no certificates would be required to purchase sugar, and "that each person might have four pounds a month. Under this, last restriction, restaurants were allowed four pounds for each ninety meals. CABLE SYSTEMS MERGED Georpe G. Ward jNanied as Direct or of Amalgamated Companies Wmhlnfton, Dec. 4. (By ''A.
