LOWER PRICES FOR
FLOUR PREDICTED

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Sept. 27.-Lower
fruit prices are predicted by milling
men here provided the government ca,
supply sufficient grain to keep mills
running TO capacity, and provided
wheat continues to be of the same
quality as that now being ground.
''If the government can keep at ca
pacity flour prices will tend to be-
come lower" ]. S. Pillsbury. vice.
president of the Pillsbury Milling com :
pany declared today. "rhis would cut
the overhead operating expenses per
barrel to the minimum and should re-
duce prices. Wheat, however, must
maintain it's present standard OF in
activity to permit the same amount OF
flour ger hushel as we are now pro-
ducing."
Pillsbury would not say how great
a drop could be expected but it is gen
orally believed in milling circles that
reduction of 25 to so cents a barrel
would follow II wheat remains steady
In grade and quantity.

WAR PREPARATIONS
OF UNITED STATES
ASTOUND JAPANESE

New York, Sept. 27.-The Japanese
mission which has been touring the
country and will arrive in New York
this afternoon, has been astounded at
the progress in American war prep
ara tions.
II was learned today, in advance of
the arrival of the mission that they
have observed Americas war strides in
open-eyed wonder The work is much
further advanced than the Japanese
had expected to find 1t.
A full statement of conditions as the
japanese have found them is under
stood to have been communicated to
the Japanese ambassador in Argentine
with the suggestion that it be present
ed to that government. With the Ar
gentine administration apparently still
hesitsting over taking the war plunge,
it is felt that the readiness of America
to fight to a finish, as demonstrated
by the tremendous amount Of work
done to date may have a great influ-
ence in the South American country.
The Japanese viii be received with
highest honors here this afternoon.

AMERICAN BANKING
SOLIDLY WITH THE
GOVERNMENT IN WAR

Atlantic City. n. j.. Sept. 27.-"Peace
seems a long way off but whether it
comes this year or next or years hence,
1t will be unworthy the name If 1t is
not the peace of victory" President
Peter w. Goebel of the American
Bankers association declared today at
the annual convention of that organi-
zation.
ITO the victory we desire and are
going toe have, we need not look with
a blush of shame. We desire no con-
quests of land or men, Now as in
the past we seek only freedom for
those enslaved and more freedom for
ourselves-the right to go unmolested
where commerce leads u.s."
He declared that American banking
was solidly with the government in
the financial war The next liberty
loan he predicted. should be more of
success than the first, because the
nations war machinery is working bet
ter. The federal reserve system, he
said, had saved the nation from finan-
cal panic in the war crisis.
Goebel emphasized that all wealth
came from the people and that money
for financing the war must all come
from the people. The only way they
can be in a position to supply it, he
declared, was by the practice of thrift
and by efficiency.

HOOVER PLANS TO
GAIN REDUCTION
IN BREAD PRICES
Cheaper Loaf for the Con-

Recommendations by the
Food Dictator.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Reduction of
bread prices will be recommended by
the food administration, Herbert
Hoover officially announced today.
While he is helpless to force lower
prices directly. his recommendations
are expected, assuring consumers a
cheaper loaf.
Hoover said: '"The federal trade
commissions inquiry into the cost of
baking and distribution of bread is ex-
pected to be completed In a few days.
AS soon as this data can be properly
considered, the food administration in
tends to announce it's views as to
standards, shape and composition of
bread and to make recommendations
to the bakers, retailers and consumers
as to cooperation in reduction of
prices
TO BUY OVER COUNTER.
Hoover is expected to recommend
economies in deliveries and appeal to
consumers to buy over the counter
What standard size loaf Hoover will
recommend was not indicated His
advisers incline toward European
methods BY which bread is marketed
at prices much lower than in the
United States A four pound loaf in
England sells for 20 cents, or five
cents pound over the counter. This
is made pSssible, however by the gov
ernment selling wheat at cost or be-
low.
Europe after the war. he predicted.
would want unprecedented quantities
of American meat and breeding stock
To supply this demand, he urged that
millions of acres of former timber land
in Mississippi. Louisiana. Arkansas
