probabl the master strategist in

is almost the only Austrian general
who has not lost his reputation dur

We note wou have had numerous

growers and dealers, asking us to es-
tablish at Portland and other Pacific
coast points terminal market basis
the same as at Chicago
We quite realize that the Pacific
Northwest would like to have a price
similar to Chicago at terminal
market which they could reach at
less freight expense than they Ruld
Chicago. The fact remains. however,
that our grain operation is to get
wheat to domestic mills for their
use and to get the surplus to our
allies for their use Under present
transportation conditions on the Pa
cific coast. it seems not only useless
but a diversion of wheat fundament-
ally wrong to accumulate at the Pa
cafic coast points stocks of wheat
