throughout the year. The corporation
will be authorized to buy and sell
wheat at the principal terminals.

bread. Millers have already agreed
to put themselves under voluntary reg
ulations and are working out with the
food administration a differential OF
profits. Distribution of -four by whole
salers and the baking of bread will be
taken up next.
The hope of the food administration
is to establish a scale of prices from
the farm to the grocery store, eliminat-
ing undue profits and ending specula-
ton. The maintenance of standard
price for wheat, its officials belleVe, IS
the first and most necessary step.
The wheat corporation will be put
under the administrations grain d1vls'
ion. It's Chairman will be Herbert
Hoover and it's President julius
Barnes. Duluth exporter, now serving
as a voluntary aide in the food admin
istration. The Price-FiXing COMMITTEE

GERMAN COLoNlSTS.

Commenting on the plea that Ger

in Asia" in order to provide relief
for her overlooking population, the
New York Times gives some inter.
esting and little-kn0wn facts
Germany's African colonies ne" III
the hands Of her enemies aggregate
about 1000 900 square miles and in.
clude some of the best lands ON the
continent. TO what extent were they
utilized, before the war, to drain Off
the overflow OF the German Empire
and provide opportunity for enterprs-
ing Teuton pioneers Wen. in the
five years l907-l9l1 inclusive the to-
tai emigration from Germany TO
Africa amounted to 1870 people
And now many Germans have over
flowed into the Teuton sphere OF in
nuence in Asia during those five
years? Exactly one.
In The same period more than
10000 Germans came to the Unit
ed States.
The years before the war began,
there were altogether in Germany
colonies throughout the world, only
$4,000 whites, and they were nearly
all soldiers and office. holders,
The German government may have
its own ideas about the desirablity
OF colonial expansion, but the Ger
man nation has sedulously refrained
from expanding into the space pr0yii
ed for it, While the Kaiser and his
empire-builders We're seeking their
much advertised place in the sun II
