WAREHOUSE HEADS
AID IN FOOD WORK
Philadelphians Offer Serv-
ices When Plans Are
Perfected
BANKERS AWAIT SCHEME

Philadelphians are ready to take an active
part in cooperating with the Federal Gov
ernment when its plans for dealing with the
food problem through warehouses are COM
pleted
John S. Morris, president Of the Phlladel-
phla Produce Exchange said today that
members Of the exchange were willing to
assist the Government lie added that the
Federal plans were still in formation.
Edward W. Coon, produce dealer. Of 90
| south Water street. is one Philadelphian
who already has volunteered to turn over
warehouse facilities to the National Gov
| ernment free. He went to Washington and
personally rendered to the Department OF
Agriculture half Of his large warehouse at
| Cape Vincent. y. Y, in the center OF the
cheese district Of that state.
Mr., Coon was one step ahead Of the de-
| partment itself Oficals OF the depart.
ment have not decided what they want to
| do, he found. They were not even ready TO
| accept his offer, because they did not know
what they would do with his aHd other
| warehouses.
PLANS UNSETTLED
"The Department Is waiting for authority
such as would be conferred by the Lever
or Gore bills now pending" Mr. Coon said
| today.
| Privately owned warehouses may be
| taken over by the Government or Federal
! agents may be placed in them as super.
! Nisors. Another possibility is that the Gov
| ernment will establish its own chain OF
| warehouses throughout the country. Whether
| the warehouse activities would he confined
| TO military needs or be made part ot
tho food conservation program Is another
point which remains TO be settled, Mr. Coon
| said.
Morris L. Cooke, former Director Of pub
| lie Safety, is to be one of tho Government
| experts in the warehouse work
a squad Of University Of Pennsylvania
| students is now in Washington studyinS

enrolling in the work when it gets unde

Charles S. Calwell, president Of the Corr

Too much is blamed on spectators. Mr.
Calwel added. lie cited that when wheat
went to SO a bushel on the Chicago EN-
change, spectators were accused Of being
responsible. 1T was a purchase by the
Allies Of $4,000. 900 bushels in a short crop
year that sent prices up" he said
As further example Of how Government
buying affected prices. Mr.. Calwell said that
Washington military authorities recently
called for bids for 1000 barrels Of mackerel

such conditions it is logical for prices to
