Washington. Nov. 14.-President
Wilson blamed middlemen for the hign
cost of foodstuffs here tonight IN
speech welcoming to Washington the
convention OF the National Grange II
was the first formal speech he has de-
livered since election. Urging that the
farmers increase their output, the
President said:
I'VE ought to raise such big crops
that circumstances like the present
can never recur; when men can make
as if the supply was so short that the
middlemen could charge for it what
he pleased. 1t is well not to be niggard-
ly with the rest of the world IN respect
to it's food supply"
The President did not mention re-
cent petitions to him to declare an
embargo on expectation OF foodstufs
from the United States to the rest OF
the world and he did not refer even
indirectly to the outcome of the Presl-
Dental election.
at seems to me-" said the President,
that some of the most interesting
problems of our life and of the life OF
the world lie before us; problems IN
connection with which the farmers Will
play part such as they have never
played before.
Dependence on Farm
ut goes without saying that the
physical life Of the nation has always
depended upon the farm. 1t goes
without saying also that to large ex-
tent the physical life of the world has
drawn it's sustenance from the great
areas OF farm land in the United
states.
I'VE have sent food to all parts OF
the world and the American farmer mas
contributed to the life of all the coun-
tries of the world. But you know that
as our own population has increased
the proportion in which we could help
foreign countries as contrasted with
our own has decreased, and there are
problems that are comparable with the
problems of craftsmanship lying ahead
of the farmers of the United States.
In the future we have got to bring
more of the area of the United States
under cultivation than is under cul-
tivation now We have got to increase
