PENROSE BLAMES
POLICY OF WILSON
Declares "Pussyfooting" Is
Cause of Present Difficulty
Mexico ,
in
Ilarrishurg, June lfi. United States
Senator Penrose places the blame for
the present iliffiijulty between the United
states anil Mexico on the pussyfooting
polic." of President Wilson.
"If wc had adopted a firm policy to-
chemlstsUn the state with Professor Ta
Wall at their head, was held, I nm in
formed, under the personal. direction of
Secretary Kasmussen.
At this conference it was the con
sensus of opinion among the experts
that food, originally fresh J held In cold
storage nt the proper temperature, was
perfectly wholesome at the end of twclvo
months. The decision wns the result
of leccnt experimental tests of the pre
servative effects of refrlgernt.on.
Two important and undesirable re
sults, however, would be invohed fn
'extending the storage period for food
beyond twelve months.' One wouldilead
,to embarrassment and confusion in the
I Department of Agriculture. A permit

yond the flxeJ term to a firm if its
consignment ot food wns in suitable con
dition, nnd another concern whose con
signment 'was unfit would be refused.
Instantly the cry of "favoritism," or
' worse, would be raised.

the twelve months would nlso enable
speculators to liold food for the purpose
of profiteering, and sky-rocketing prices.
I nm informed that Doctor lias
mussen is fixed in the opinion that ques
tions of public hciUth should be kept
sepnratc from questions of price-fixing,
food speculation and profiteering. lie
regards it his paramount duty to safe
guard public health in food matters.
AVMIn wlllinir to concur In flip wnriw
on the Mexicun situation, "the situa- n(llls(.mPn' rPq,.st for an extension

cause "cold storage' is stamped on
the package.
It isxn ingenious excuse that works
in well with the "Psychology of tho
Masses," Hut tho food officials in
Jlarrlsburg'wlll have none of it. It
is n matter for the storage folks. They
should Inaugurate n campaign of edu
cation. Tho public should be taught tho
value of cold storage food; that every
.car aster quantities of foodstuffs arc
preserved in this way.
The department and cold storage men
have been llrnwrr closer togotbefc 'W -

The' Senator referred to the spirit
which pervaded the country In 1817,
when Generals Taylor and Scott swept
through Mexico nnd captured Mexico
City. Mexico then, he said, with a
stuffs for twelve months, he will in
sist that, like the New York state law,

Vanity of Consumers Enters
An odd feature of the bill is the claim
of the cold storage people that the
vanity of consumers demands the elimi
