While the United States SEN
ate was marking time on the
food control bill, big food gam
bIcrs Of the country were busy
making hay.
In the six weeks the senate
spent mounting over the bill,
virtual corner Of the reserve
corn supply Of tho United
States was effected.
As result, corn IL practically

poses. the price has scared until II
is on a par with wheat. and II those
holding this corn can unload nj

OF dollars in extra profits.
All OF which may be charged

ate, which on this bill certainly
cilnched Its right to the title OF
"the greatest DEliBeRATlVE
body In the world"
Foremost among those involved
in this corner. according to infor'
nation here. are big distilling In
terests.
Early in the senate nm effort
was made to so shape the bill as
TO permit distillers TO use up In
production of alcoholic beverages
supplies OF grain and food materi
ais they might have when the bill
passed.
To be forearmed. II this provis'
ion was kept in the bill, distillers
began buying up corn. They have
been followed by inside grain
spectators, who. recognizing the
comparatively short corn supply
remaining. and the ease with
which a corner could be effected
decided to risk final fling before
the food administration got into nc,

Since the passage OF the bill
