Condra Says Congress Success.
"The FIRST Nebraska State Confer

The brainiest men OF Nebraska
men who knew many things and men
who knew one thing better than any
other one man in the state-have been

tributed his best.
There has been brought out at this

every one who has been reading the
newspapers, is better informed as to
Nebraska and Nebraska's problems
than ever before.

REED SAYS HOOVER
Big AID TO BULLS
Senator Says There Is Real
Shortage and Little Hoard
ing of Cereal by the
Country's Dealers.

Washington, May 25.-Considcra-
ton OF the first administration, food
bill, designed to stimulate produc-
ton, provide for national food CEN
sus and sales OF seed at cost. was
begun today in the senate and will
be kept before the body as the un-
finished business. .. -..,
Senator Reed opened the debate
with "a statement of the real condi-
ton OF the wheat situation" Much
false information, he said, was being
furnished to the country. He first
took up prices which farmers re-
ceive for their wheat.
No Abnormal Hoarding.
There has been no abnormal
boarding Of wheat" Senator Reed
declared, adding that it was only
after the supply was low that the
prices became high. Senator Reed
quoted figures to show world
shortage Of l00,000,000 bushels and
an artificial shortage amounting to
approximately 300000,000 bushels, due
in part to the shutting off of Russia
because Of the war and lack OF
ships TO carry wheat from Australia.
/. Large future purchases by the
allies, were in his opinion" Senator
Reed said. Responsible for a large
measure in the rapid rise OF prices.
The allies, he said, had in ali good
Omaha daily bee., 1917-05-26

faith, bought from l00,000,000 to $780,
100000 bushels for future delivery, but
there were not enough transport
facilities. The, allies, finding they
could not get The wheat across the
seas, sold part of their holdings and
bought more futures. This, Senator
Reed said, resulted in them taking
virtually--a-c control of the market.
II do not charge the allies with
gambling" bic explained.
Senator Reed said such condition
could be remedied by negotions be-
tween the government and the allies
putting an end to the situation.
Says Hoover Causes ADJ :.
Senator Reed said another cause for
the recent advance III the price OF
wheat was the statenient attributed to
Herbert c. Hoover that -four may
advance to $40 barrel and wheat to
IS a bushel.
Hoover has, been worth millions
OF dollars thus far TO the bulls the
Missouri senator said, adding that
Americans must expect to pay high
prices as long as government officials
announce TO the world that it is about
to starve to death Consideration Of
a food dictator" and the boarding OF
food by housewives had helped to
raise prices, also. ..-o.
I'VE must regulate by law and not
by lodging arbitrary power in one
mans hands" declared Senator Sher-
man OF Illinois, republican. You
can't stop gambling in bread wheat
as long as there is one bushel of
wheat on the market"
In the house, where debate was pro-
ceeding at the same time, Republican
Leader Mann .assailed Assistant Sec
rotary Vrooman of the Department OF
Agriculture, fer saying that the time
might come when the United States
would be grinding potatoes for -four.
Mr.. Mann said such statements were
unwise. @

Il know that this congress has &C

Gil cannot do all the work it is called
upon to perform unless it can use
the individual work of the people OF

agencies that the National Defense

JAPAN ] WITHDRAWS
GOLD FROM U. S.
Thirty-Five Millions Of Yellow
Coin Shipped to the Orient
IsFt Since the First Of
!, January. ., ,m

Washington, May 25.-Japan is
withdrawing gold from the United
States at a rate which has caused CON
; siderable interest and some specula-
ton as to the meaning of the move
ment. Approximately S35,000,0O0 has
been withdrawn since January ] and
other Withdrawals are expected III the
future.
officials here feel that the move
ment is not fully accounted for by the
balance OF trade. The possibility that
some OF the other allied governments
are paying their munitions bills to
Japan with gold in this country, made
available by the extension OF credits
by this government has been dis
, cussed, but. it is believed that this COIL
ingency likewise would not account
Z, for the strong current OF gold ship
ments westward.
Supply at Frisco Low.
The gold supply at San Francisco,
from which shipments 10 Japan are
made, has at present reached point
where the government has decided
that the. cost Of transferring gold
across,the country properly should ls
borne BY the interests intending to
ship il out OF the country. In addition
the retention here Of the increased
gold supply largely accumulated dur
3 ing the war is regarded as highly de-
sirable and its expectation Is discour-
aged.
May Change Custom.
Treasury officials under existing
laws have no power TO prohibit the ex-
portatiou OF gold, but must redeem
gold certificates with gold. The law
provides that this shall be done IN
Washington and -the Redemption OF
such certificates al subtreasuries in the
past has been purely through courtesy
and for the convenience OF bankers:
Should the heavy export movement oil
gold continue il is possible that the
government may discontinue the re-
demption 81 certiilcates at subtreas-
uries and redeem them only at Wash
ngton, where the gold thus with
drawn is intended for export. ~
Z Movement Natural, Says Banker
. New York. May 25.--Japan's with
drawal Of gold from the United States
was explained today at the Yoko-
hama Specie bank as being "putely
Tor adjustment oftrade balance" and
without any further significance. 1t
was pointed out that the war has
made Japan great creditor nation,
that its exports greatly exceeded i'm
ports, and i that the movement OF
gold has been, made imperative by
abnormal commercial conditions.
In banking circles the opinion pre-
vailsthat Japanese bankers have been
