President Wilson's Statement.

In announcing the committees action
President Wilson made the following
statement:
Section IL of the food act provides,
among other things, for the purchase
and sale of wheat and -four by the gov
eminent. and appropriates money for
the purpose. The purchase of wheat
and flour for our allies. and to con-
siderable degree for neutral countries
also, has been placed under the con-
troll Of the food administration. | have
appointed a committee to determine a
fair price to be paid in government
purchases. The price now recommend
ed by that committee-$2.2 per bushel
at Chicago for the basic grade-will be
rigidly adhered to by the food admin
istration.
1T is the hope and expecta ton of the
food administration. and my own also.
that this step will at once stabilize and
keep within moderate bounds the price
of wheat for all transactions through
the present crop year, and in conse-
Quence the prices of -four and bread
also.
The food act has given large powers
for the control of storage and exchange
operations and these powers will be
fully exercised. An inevitable conse-
quence will be that financial dealings
cannot follow their usual course
Whatever the advantages and disadvan-
tages of the ordinary machinery of
trade. it cannot function well under
such disturbed and abnormal conditions
as now exist.
Price Recommended Unanimously.

Report to the President.

The committee, in its report to the
President, gave as the three chief con-
siderations that entered into it's de-
liberations the following: The fact
that the United States is at war. the
need of encouraging the producer and
the necessity of reducing the cost of
living to the consumer.
The price differentials worked out
by the food administration are: Nos.

yellow hard winter. s2.16: soft red

committee recites the factors consid-
cred in its discussions. Chief among
them was the mounting cost of living
The condition Of world markets also
was given careful thought, as was the
probable effect Of an early termination
OF the war. which would loosen great
tied up because of lack of shipping.
The cost of production came in for
considerable attention. Experts of the
Department of Agriculture were asked
FOR production cost figures and the COM
mittee studied data supplied by grow
ers' organizations. It was realized that
some growers will be forced to sell
their wheat at a loss. while many 9TH
ers will make a high profit.
The committees work ended with the
fixing of price.

The case of J. E. Pepper. the Ameri-

of the Chinese government who was
assaulted by Japanese coolies at Muls-

out of the hands of the consular au-

UNABLE TO GET REDRESS
BY WILLIAM r.. GILES.
Especial Correspondence of The Star
and Chicago Daily News.b

PEk1NG, China, July 5.-Whatever
may be the sentiments which japanese
In their own country entertain for
Americans. it must be admitted that
their friendship toward the citizens of
the United States in China generally.
and especially in Manchuria, is wonder
fully well concealed. AS matter of
TACT, Americans have been subjected to
series of pin pricks which may or
may not be Intentional and calculated
on the part of Japan, but at any rate
are not conducive to harmonious rela-
lions.
DR.. S. K. Hornbeck. in his recently
published Contemporary Politics in
the Far East" takes the view that the
greater half by far of Japan's so-called
aggression and imperialism is self-de-
tense and exaggerated caution. and ar
cues that if there be a general relaxa-
ton of aggression in China on the part
of the powers-in which, he suggests,
the United States might fttingly take
a lead-Japan will unreservedly follow
that lead.
Such a view it is well to keep before
us. 1t is preferable to think well than
to think Ill of our neighbors. But opti-
mism must be well founded 1t must
not be confused with shutting ones
eyes to the obvious, as many people in
Europe did before Germany challenged
the opinion of the world.
