WHEAT PRICE 1920 FOR 1917.
Loaf OF Bread, ii Ounces, Should
Not Cost Over Five Cents,

Washington, Aug. 30.-The price
Of No. Northern spring wheat was
fixed at $2.20 a bushel at Chicago,
for the 1917 crop to-day by the
wheat fair price commission, headed
by II. A. Garfield, whose findings
reached after three days delibera-
| ton, were submitted to and approved
| by President Wilson. The announce
ment was made from the White
| House.
Labor representatives on the com
mittee voted first for $l.S4 and the
farmers for $3.50. After long dis
cussi0n the compromise at $.220 was
approved unanimously.
| The committee finally agreed late
| this afternoon after several days Of
voting. At one time to-day it looked
| as If 1t would be unable to some to
a conclusion. but Just before o'clock
Il compromise was reached and the
last vote was unanimously cast.
On the base Of S2.20 at Chicago
the food administration worked out
tonight differentials for the various
grades and classes and for the seve-
raj terminals.
The price fixed tonight Is 20 cents
higher than that named for the 1918
crop by Congress in the food control
Dill. The 81 price set by Congress
was taken into consideration by the
committee In considering a fair valu-
alton for this years crop.
In statement accompanying the
announcement OF the price President
Wilson declares it Is the hope Of the
rood administration, and his as we'll,
that the fixing of price will stabil-
ize the market and keep prices with
IN moderate bounds for all transac-
tions during the current year.
The price Of -four and bread, too,
the President declared would be kept
down.
The committee. in its report to the
President, gave as the three chief
considerations that entered into it's
deliberations the following: The fact
that tho United States Is at war, the
need Of encouraging the producer,
and the necessity Of reducing the cost
Of living to the consumers. All men,
bers agreed in their discussions that
the price fixed will permit Of a H.
ounce loaf Of bread for cents, al
lowing fair profit both to the -four
manufacturer and the baker.
Although the prices are fixed on
government purchases only, the food

jury The American people have suf-
fered intolcrable wrongs at the hands
of the imperial German government,
but they desire no reprisal upon the
German people, who have themselves
suffered all things in this war, which
| they did not choose. They believe
that peace should rest upon the rights
| OF peoples, not the rights Of govern
mcnts-the rights of peoples, great
or small, weak or powerful-their
| equal right to freedom and security
and self-government, and to partic-
fpation upon fair terms in the eco

ed, if they will accept equality and
not seek domination.
"The test, therefore, of every plan
Of peace Is this Is it based upon the
faith Of all the peoples involved or
merely upon the word Of an ambi-
tious and intriguing government, on
the one hand, and of group Of free
peoples on the other. This is a test
which goes to the root OF the matter;
and it Is the test which must be ap-
piled.
Purposes of America.
'The purposes of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
world--to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come.
They do not need to be stated again.
We seek no material advantage Of
any kind. We believe that the intol-
cradle wrongs done in this war by
the furious and brutal power Of the
imperial German government ought
to be repaired, but not at the ex-
pense of the sovereignty Of any peo-
ple--rather vindication Of the SOW
ereignty both Of those that are weak
and Of those that are strong. Puni-
tive damages, the dismemberment Of
empires, the establishment Of selfish
and exclusive economic leagues we
deem inexpedient and in the end
worse than, futile, nor proper basis
for peace Of any kind. least of all
for an enduring peace. That must be
based upon justice and fairness and
the common rights Of mankind.

present rulers Of Germany As a guar
antee Of anything that is to endure,

conclusive evidence of tt 3 will and

Just before planting time the land

should be disked and narrowed.

MR.. WILSON'S REPLY
TO POPE'S PEACE NOTE

permanent peace must be based
upon the faith Of all the people and
upon justice and fairness, and the
common rights Of mankind" says
President Wilson In his note to the
Pope at Rome, "and we cannot take
the word Of the present rulers of
Germany as guarantee Of anything to
endure, unless explicitly supported
by such conclusive evidence OF the
will and purpose Of the German peo-
pies themselves as the other peoples
OF the world would be justified i'm ac-
cepting."
Last Wednesday The Courier gave
a brief outline Of the substance Of
the Presidents note, time making It
impossible to reproduce this able
State paper in full. 1t is, however, SO
clear, so forceful, so logical, that we
reproduce here the full text Of Mr..
Wilson's note:
Text of Reply.
"'ro His Holiness, Benedictus XIV,
Pope:
''ln acknowledgements Of the COM
munication Of your holiness to the
belligercnt peoples, dated August i,
1917, the President Of the United
States requests me to transmit the
following reply:
Every heart that has not been
blinded and hardened by this terrible
war must be touched by this moving
appeal Of his holiness, the Pope
must feel me dignity and force of the
humane and generous motives which
prompted 1t, and must fervently wish
that we might take the path Of peace
he SO persuasively points out. But It
In fact lead to the goal he proposes.
Our response must be based upon the
stern facts and upoI nothing else. 1t
Is not mere cessation Of arms he
desires; It is a stable and enduring
peace. This agony must not be gone
through with again. AM it must be a
matter of very sober Judgment what
will insure lis against 1T.
ellis holiness in substance pro-
poses that we return to the status
quo ante-bellum, and that then there
be a general condonation, disarma-
ment and concert of nations based
upon an acceptance of the principle
OF arbitration; that by similar con-
cert freedom Of the seas be establish
ed; and that the territorial claims
OF France and ITALY, the perplexing
problems Of the Balkan States and
the restitution or Poland be left to
such conci(,atory adjustments rs may
be possible Of the people whose posit~

Would Restore Status Quo,

1T is manifest that no part of this
program can be successfully carried
ont unless the restitution Of the sta
| tus quo ante furnishes firm and
satisfactory basis for it. The object
OF this war Is to deliver the free peo-
pies OF the world from the menace
and the actual power Of a vast mill
tary establishment controlled by an
| irresponsible government, which,
| having secretly planned to dominate
the world, proceeded to carry the
plan out without regard either to the
sacred obligations OF treaty or the
| long established practices and long
| cherished priciples Of International
law and honor; which chose its own
time for the war; delivered its blow
fercely and suddenly; stopped at no
barrier either Of law or OF mercy;
swept whole continent within the
tide Of blood-not the blood OF SOL
diers only. but the blood Of innocent
women and children also and of the
helpless people, and now stands balk-
ed, but not defeated, the enemy Of
four-fifths of the world. This power
is not the German people. 1t is the
ruthless master Of the German peo-
pie. 1t Is no business Of ours how
that great people came under its con-
troll or submitted with temporary
Zest to the domination Of its pur-
poses, but it is our business to see to
1t that history OF the rest OF the
world is no longer left to its hand
ling.
10 deal with such power by way
OF peace upon the plan proposed by
his holiness the Pope would, so far
as we can see. involve a recuperation
of its strength and renewal OF It's
policy; would make it necessary to
create permanent hostile combina-
tion Of nations against the German
people. who are its Instruments, and
would result in abandoning the new
born Russia to the intrigue, tho nan
fold subtle interference and the GER
tain counter-revolution which would
be attempted by oil the malign intlu-
ences to which the German govern
ment has Of late accustomed tho
world. Can peace be based upon
restitution Of It's power or upon any
word Of honor 1t could pledge in a
treaty Of settlement and accommoda.
