Peace delegates confer with American press corps
American peace commissioners met with American newspaper correspondents for the first time the Inter Allied Conference talks. Most other people were excluded and it was not yet determined when sessions would begin or if the meetings would be open. President Wilson favored openness where possible, but much work would likely be done in private. It is unclear if German representatives will participate in preliminaries. Neutral observers may be invited later.

Wheat Conservation Still Advocated
New York Feb 14 The necessity of continued wheat conservation was stressed in relief by the federal food board which said that despite restrictions last year less than ten days supply remained in America when the 1918 crop was harvested. Submarine warfare ceased and the armistice released large quantities of wheat abroad yet a good 1919 crop lessened the need for a large American reserve. Elimination of waste was urged to help the food administration ship large quantities of products to hungry peoples.

A committee amendment imposing a 10 percent tax on profits from child labor products entering Interstate Commerce was approved 40 to 12. Debates stretched two hours as leaders hope to pass the measure by next Monday, aiming for a holiday recess.
