DISCUSSION OF
14 PRINCIPLES'
Frelinghuyscn Calls on

"Peace Points"

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.

tion would not be approved. Most of the

Food Administrator Cooke
Aholishes Restrictions
in Homes and Cafes

UJlLfliS JiL-UlNUiU I li UOli
Sugar bowls will go back on the tables
in restaurants, hotels and homes at
once.
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.

Atlantic City. Dec. .
Peep resentment was shown todiiy
towards President Wilson by --delegates
to the reconstruction congress in ses
sion here, because the nation's executive
sidestepped tho question ot industrial
lepresentntlon at the peace conference.
The congress with more than four
thousand delegates, representing hun
dreds of Industries, meeting on the Million-Dollar
Pier, was significantly silent
when reference was, made to President
Wilson and a few minutes later showed
the trend of their thoughts by a tumul
tuous demonstration based on a state
ment by Harry A, Wheeler, president
of th United States Chamber of Com
merce, In tho first address of the con
ference. lVlUon Hail No Message
Mr. Wheeler told the delegates how. fori ever, usually sees redder than ordl
the second time he asked President nar e CS-
Wllsou to send a message to the re
construction conference, and addressed
to him the following query:
"Would It be helpful If American In
dustry should name a thoroughly rep
resentative committee, particularly in
formed regarding the basic industries
of the country, to bo present In France
during the course of the peace confer
ence und available for counsel on such
phases of the peace negotiations as may
bear directly upon commerce and In
dustry"? t
The following reply, Mr, Wheeler said,
was received from the President:
"You may be sure that I would send
a message to the meeting at Atlantic
City, if I knew what message to send
dui iranniy. i u ni,t a luno wiun
we all must thoughtfully take counsel
and apply the wisest action to clrcum-
stances as they arise."

head declared, entirely Ignored the ques-
