Herbert Hoover, United States food administrator and director general of the interna tional relief organization, gave out the following statement today: "The dominating food problem in the United States at this" moment is a very much bigger problem than tho Chicaga packers. It is a problem of the American farmer, v , "If the packer's profit of 2 or J per cent on bis turn over is too high, it is the duty of congress to tax it on him. If the farmer's prices threaten to fall below the level of a fair return, it behoves the coun try to do some quick, clear think ing. ' ;The perplexities arising out ot the inability to demobilize totally the food situation of the world in the peried between the armistice and peace make the farmer's position in the matter of much more immediate concern than the future of the Chi cago packers. - supplies Enormously Increased. "laicing it Jiroadly, before the European war began we exported about 5,000,000 tons of food a year. '1 his year we are prepared to export at the rate of from 15,000,000 to 20, 000,000 of tons. The increase repre sents the patriotic service of the American larmer, plus tne voluntary sacrifice of the average American under the stimulation' of the pleas from the allied ' governments that without an enormous increase, in our food supplies their' very lives WvuM be menaced... - - 4'We are thus, faced with a serious problem with respect to our own great supplies, patriotically accumu lated: lt an eany peace is signeu and the markets ot Europe are open ed freely to trade, there will be a greater demand tor food trom the i.ew mouthg than ever this surplus could supply, liut in the periods be tween tue armistice and peace we have a very liihicuit situation. s Fats Shortage Critical. "One of tne most critical food shortages in the world was that of fats and the only help lay in an increase In .the American, hug. Our Agriculture department-and tue lood admin:stration spared no efforts to stimulate tnis production. Our farm ers were assured that in the general shortage, subject only to the uncer tainties of war, they would exper ience no difficulty in marketing their products. Due to the savings of our people and the gradual increased production, of our farmers, we have lifted our ability to export from 50,000,000 pounds of fats per month in the summer of 1917 tc400,000,000 pounds per month in this January. "To, achieve this mobilization of fats it was necessary to mobilize the packers as welt as the farmers. There is no doubt that the vast volume of business brought profit to the pack ers, although at a tess percentage than before the food administration took charge of it. "Other factors have entered into the situation. For instance the inac tive armies and munition workers are consuming less fats and the vegetable is freed for human con sumption. This came upon us im mediately with the armistice in early November, in the midst of our heaviest hog .marketing season, which lasts from October until March.

Uncle Sam Wondering How Far He Will Have to Go to "Enforce Prohibition Law Revenue Department Already Has Big Force of Raid er;. Cities May Furnish Bigger Problem Than -Mountain Districts of the South; Penitenti ary Offense to Manufacture Liquor. I By ROBERT W. HPBBS. Staff Correspondent of Universal Service. Washington, Jan. 26. Uncle Sam is wondering just how far he may have to go to enforce the war-time prohibition law, which goes into ef fect July 1. After that it's going to be unlawful tomanufacture or sell liquor and the internal revenue bureau expects a great outbreak of "moonshining." It is somewhat fearful also lest there be increased activity, among peddlers of illegal drugs. The law puts the enforcement of war-time prohibition up to the com missioner of internal revenue and legislation is now pending in con gress, appropriating $1,500,000 for an enforcement division of that bu reau. . But a million and a-haji would not go far in policing the country against,"booze" and the commission er knows it. No plans are making for a federal police system. "We expect to secure the enforcement through the local and state officers," said Acting Dep uty Commissioner Gaylord, in charge of the preliminary work the bureau is doing in the matter. It is probable that special United States attorneys will be assigned each state to co-operate wj,th the district at torneys offices to prepare' cases for prosecution under the war prohibi tion law and there will be a director of investigation in each. His duty will be twofold. He will arrange co operation with the local and state authorities and will himself direct investigations on which prosecutions will be based. No plans have been made as yet looking to the number of assistants these directors may have in any territory. "Those mat ters must be matters of develop ment," said Mr. Gaylord. v .' Has Raiding Force. The bureau already has an effi cient raiding-force-developed from, its long fight against the moon shiners. The size of this force has been considerably augmented recent ly by theneeds for protecting the soldiers in the southern canton ments from moonshine whisky and by the spread of prohibition over new territory.

Daniel Porter, has been busy. In the first four months, the flying squadron took more than 300 prisoners, raid ed more than 100 stills and recom mended more than 400 prosecutions. Colonel Porter, revenue officer at Nashville, was brought to Washing ton to take charge of this work. He was given his pick of the old-time moonshine j raiders of the depart ment. His work was so effective that when he applied for admission to the army he was made a major. He is about to be released from military service to head the new flying squadrons in the fight against illicit whisky. Cities May Prove Problem. Colonel Porter's work has been largely in the mountains of. the south, but the department regards the seat ofSts most serious opera tions under the new law as likely to be in the large cities. In the moun tains the smoke from the still, if the operations are of any size, and the fumes from the mash make it easy to detect the presence of stills, brrt in the -big cities the smoke would be lost in the clouds from the great chimneys and- the fumes could not be detected among the thousand odors of the streets. How to pro ceed there is giving anxiety to the bureau. Under the wartime prohibition, it will be. punishable offense to manu facture' liquor, even if for personal use, but to have liquor in one's pos session and to ue it. if it was pro duced in "the period before the law went into" effect would not be pun ishable. To enforce the law the government raiders might force their way into homes to see if stills were being operated in cellars or closets.

No Responses Yet Received From Russian Elements - to Invitatiof) to Hold - Conference. By Associated Press. Paris, Jan. 26. Stephen , Pichon, the French foreign minister, receiv ed the Associated Press and Amer ican, British,; Italian and Japanese newspaper correspondents at his pri vate office in the foreign office today, and talked freely and frankly of the status of the big foreign questions as tyty are afiected by the confer ence. The meeting was in the same room where the council of the great powers meets. "We have no response from any of the Russian elements," said the minister, answering the first ques tion, relative to the invitation to the Russians to meet at Princes islands for a conference with the allied and associated powers." The minister was asked if non-official statements were accepted as in dicating that the meeting at Prince islands would not take pRce. f "There is some doubt as to that, replied M. Pichon, "as the bolshe vists do not say positively that they will not attend, but merely present some objections." ' May Change Meeting Place. , As to whether a meeting could be arranged elsewhere than Princes islands the minister replied that was a question for the council, and as he was only one of the members he could not say what they would do. The minister added, however, that the opinion expressed by the Russian groups in Paris seemed to embody the views of the gove?n ments they represented. If no meet ing took plaft on Princes islands, it would, then be .for the council .to say what the next ste'j with refer ence to Russia would be. When asked if the bolshevists were a da facto government, the minister answered: - "They Have a de facto existence and this has led to their being in vited with the others." Concerning the various interests in Syria and Arabia, M. Pichon ex pressed the belief that all "can be reconciled by mutual concession." In reply to the question as to how long it would be before there was an agreement on the league of nations, he said: "That is difficult to say before we i have a full plan.

By Associated Press. Paris, Jan. 26. The text of Presi dent Wilson's address to a delega tion, representing the working wo men of France, who called on him at the Murat mansion to urge that the peace conference! include wo man suffrage among the points to be settled by the conference follows: "Madamoiselle Thompson and Ladies: You have not only done me a great honor, but you have touch ed me very much by this unexpected tribute; and may I add that you have frightened me. because realiz ing the great confidence you ;place in me, I question my own ability to justify that confidence. "ou have not 'placed your confi dence wrongly in my hopes and pur poses, but perhaps not all of those hopes and purposes can be realized in the great matter that you have so much at heart the right of women to take their full share in the pol itical life of the nations to which they belong. That is necessarily a domestic question for the several nations. A conference of peace settling the relations of nations with each other would be regarded as go ing very much outside its province if it undertook to dictate to the sev eral states what their internal pol icy should be.

Taris, Jan. 26. The peace confer ence on Saturday weathered its first storm, and under the inspiration of a speech by President Wilson and skillfully'guided'by M. Clemenceau, the chairman, unanimously adopted resolutions declaring for a league of nation. The conference also went .on record in favor of incorporating the league as an integral part of the general treaty of peace and admit ting to the league "everjicrvilized nation which can be relied on to pro mote its objects." Belgium,, Serbia,v Roumania, Port ugal, Brazil, Siamv China and Czecho-Slovakia protested against the various committees beiug large ly restricted to the great powers, and asked for proportionate repre sention privileges, particularly on bodies dealing with the league of nations, labor and reparation far war damages. i , Clemenceau Heals Breach. Although this was a cloudno big ger than a man's hand, it threatened at one time to grow into a general alignment of- the small powers against the five great powers. This, however, was averted by M. Clemen ceau's good-tempered and skillful direction. The session had the same impres sive dignity, as the open session with a picturesque setting of Arabs and Indians in their turbans and tunics, as well as a disinguished array of prime ministers and other world figures. President Wilson for the first tyne was accompanied by the entire American delegation, Col E. M. House having recovered suffi ciently from his illness to be pres ent. , v Adopted Without Dissent. Although it had been expected that LloyfKGeorge would open the dis cussion.on the league of nations, President Wilson has this honor., The president was followed by Mr. Lloyd George in a brief address and the resolution favoring the league was adopted without dissent after the proposal had been seconded by Premier Orlando for Italy, Paul Hymans for Belgium and Mr. Lu for China. When the other resolutions were brought up and the protests of the representatives of the small powers were made, M. Clemenceau made a plea for harmony and on his assur ance that the supreme council would give attention to the viewpoint of the small" nations, alt proposed amendments were withdrawn and the resolutions "were accepted unan imously, x Relief Steamer Sails.

"The conference is turning out to be a rather unwieldy .body, a very large body representing a great many nations, large ana sman, oia and new and the method of organ-, izing itsvork successfully, I am afraid, will have to be worked out stage by stage. Therefore, I have no confidents prediction to make as to the way im which it can take up questions of this sort.
