Regulation. Not EMBARGO, Needed.

Again requests are beng made for en-
barge on the shipment Of wheat ana other food
stuffs from the United States The question OF
the price OF food IL becoming serious, and is OF
more importance at this juncture than the pro-
posed embargo on arms. While the rise in the
price of wheat and other breadstuffs is in some
measure due to the unusual demand from
Europe, great deal more of It must be charged
to the operations OF American gamblers In grain.
The people OF Europe need our surplus grain.
They must be fed, even II We are compelled to
provide for other nations as we have provided
for the starving people Of Belgium. This condi-
ton we cannot escape. An embargo wheat
would not solve the question. nor is IL likely that
one will be laid. What might be done would be
the application of some proper means for con-
troll Of speculation In food supplies.
