WHEAT TRADERS
ARE DENOUNCED
Z. S. Official Says They are GOOD
Gamblers and Economic
Parasites -COngress
Forced to Act.

Washington. Mayl2.-IOday s sharp
rise in July and September grain
prices on the Chicago exchange drew
from the Agricultural Depar 3ment to-
night statement dencuncing ''fooG
gamblers" and Economic PARISHES. "
Carl Vro0man, the assistant Secretary
said the time has come for the govern
mant to check the upward trend.
Tie people will brook no delay,
said Nj. Vrooman, "in stamping out
The activities OF these economic para
sites, these disioyal food gamblers who
are fattening and battening in every
city on the food necessities of the
poor.
''The issue as to food control is
clear. It is an issue between food
control by the government on the one
hand and food control by the speculas-
OrS
Some one said a few years ago
that Russia was a 'depotism, temper
ed by assassination so one might say
today that we are suffering from food
control tempered by indicted. The
energetic activities of tie Departmen 4
of Justice have somewhat checked the
operations of food gamblers and mon
opo'ies, but have failed to control
them
Asks Government COntrOi.
"The only government control pos
sible is control based upon such laws
as those before Congress now, au nor
izing the Agricultural Department and
the president to establish minimum
prices and otherwise to act vigorously
in the interest of both producer and
consumer. Every European nation has
found it necessary during the preGeae
war to confer upon its government
food control powers greater than those
proposed by the administration for
Gu" government in the present emer-
gency." a.
Tie present high level of wheat
prices, many government officia' S be-
lieYe, would be maintained even if the
Chicago exchange discontinued all flu
turo trading because of the great for,
eign demand, unless the government
fixes prices.
The country now has about 25.000,-
600 or 30000,0O0 bushels of visible
wheat. Probable more than that is
stored on farms and in country mills
as invisible supply. The invisible
supply will run the country until the
July harvest leaving the 100000 buA
for export. 1t is believed the allies
already hold contracts in this country
for much more wheat than that.
No: To Cut OF Allies.
Shipments to the allies will be stop
ped only when in the judgement of the
government it is necessary to re5ain
all available wheat for American uses
This question has been threshed out
with the Agricultural Department by
the British and French missions.
The Department is loking forward
to a big acreage of spring wheat and
an enormous yield if the weather Is
favorable. This will give some wheaa
for export.
Corn stocks are lower than normal,
but there still is vast store in the
United States. Reports to the Agricul-
Ii,
there was on the farms at that time
799, 100000 bushels. The department
is urging wider use Of corn and, in
the bills pending in Congress seeks to
authorize the mixture OF corn with
wheat in milling.

Il have myself been over the hard
roads the truck Is encountering in

In other words as / am having

Mr.. Smith, pointing out that the
truck of light, economical, durable
design is certain to command a still
greater place as factor in Ameri-
can industrialism because of rail-
way congestion and hampered ex-
press service. emphasizes that the
A. A. A. sanction test will be SO COM
plete as to enable any business house
! TO arrive at definite tables of cost
by the week, month or year for truck
delivery service.
The Maxwell Company will with
in two weeks have available for the

Maxwell Truck to Make
Tour of Military Camps

Backing the Maxwell Company's
knowledge of the work and gasoline
economy capabilities of the Maxwell
one-ton truck, knowledge based on
data from American businessmen of
ah parts of the United States, cover
ing the trucks performances every
where, l.. A. Smith. general eastern
supervisor for the Maxwell Motor
Sales Corporation, New York, just
had issued an official saction
of the American Automobile Associ-
alton to cover an official truck per-
formance and durability drive from
New York to all the army camps
in the south and then back.
From several viewpoints this truck
demonstration will be the most unu-
sual test ever carried out for the in
formation of businessmen every
where. The A. A. A. sanction for
the drive number 1880, marks the
first instance in the history of auto
mobile making that truck has
been registered for proving-out
performance with the A. A. A. plate
attached to the instrument board.
The Maxwell left New York Fri
| day November 80. 1t will go
through Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Richmond, Charlotte,
Spartanburg, Atlanta, Admission, Ga,
Montgomery, Ala, Macon, Ca, Aug
usta, Columbia, S. c., then north to
| New York.
What goshalmighty tasks the
Maxwell Company has found its one
ton model to be capable of as a
worker is reflected by the fact that
the A. A. A. sanction calls for run
of some $500 miles. Moreover the
! truck is carrying load of one full
| ton. In addition it carries it's dyiv-
er, P. w. Gibbs, and the A. A. A.
technical observer
A striking feature regarding the
Maxwell load is that the truck has
undertaken to deliver one tone of
merchandise from New York to
Spartanburg, S. c., on a basis of
exactly half what it would cost to
send the supplies by express. The
/ consignment, comprising some 80
| boxes, represents the ordinary duty
| any business house would expect
a truck to transport in the course
| of it's days work.
Mr.. Smith has fixed a running
schedule of % miles an hour for the
| entire distance. Accurate and au-
thoritative figures will be kept by
the technical official, covering the
gasoline economy of the Maxwell il
