Packers Face Hearing as Regulation Proposals Fall Flat
Witnesses from Missouri to Georgia urged no change in federal control of the packing industry during Senate agriculture committee hearings on the Kinyon and Kendrick bills. Packers were urged to be left alone as critics said regulation would raise costs and hurt consumers, while farmers argued current prices are fair and the livestock market needs Swift & Co. support. About 1,000 people sought time, but witnesses were limited to 15 minutes each.

Senators Push Peace Treaty Work In Far East Talks
Prof Williams testified before the foreign relations committee that President Wilson faced British and French commitments to support Japan in Shantung. He suggested a blanket provision turning German property in China over to China and returning rights to China within a year. The transfer to Japan was deemed more desirable by some experts, despite Williams and McClay opposing. Williams warned the decision would provoke Chinese protests and weaken prestige in the Far East, noting Japan will keep Taing-teo after the lease expires.
