REACH NO AGREEMENT
ON PRICE OF WHEAT
Difference of Opinion Devel-
ops in Committee.

Washington, Aug. 2S.--The commit
tee headed by DIR. ~. 4. Garfield. named
by President Wilson, to recommend the
price for the 1917 wheat crop. failed
to reach an agreement tonight and will
continue deliberatibn bns tomorrow. II
had been ANNOUNCED that a price would
be fixed at tonieht's meeting.
Members of the committee declined
to discuss the sitnatb,n, but 1t is under
stood several votes were taken. 1t had
been decided earlier that three
folirths vote wos,ld determine the
price.
The fact that 4 conclusion was not
reached was taken to mean that con-
siderable difference OF opinion has de-
veloDed as to what is a fair valuation
of the crop.
The basic prin fixed will be for No.
! northern wheat or its equivalent.
Prices for other grades and classes
will be left to the food administration.
which will work out n scale Within the
next few days.
1t Is generally prcdEted the pric.
will be between 50 and 42.30.
The duties Of tho committee. it has
been understood, will end with the
fixing OF a wheat price, but it is now
suggested that the committee may be
asked to recommend to the food ad =
ministration fair prices for other com.
modities Oh which producers and the
food administration cannot agree.

shape her policy towards nentrals as
to bring no more combatants upon her
