president will clarity the question
whether It is to be a peace of vio-
Ience or Justice" He said that free

resertation of Alsace-Lorrane in the

would be over So, as the pre-war price
Of cotton was about IL cents and is
now IS to 40 cents a pound. Corn
also brings nearly three times the
pre-war prices"
The growers also maintain that
"the increase in the price asked for
wheat is not as much proportionately
as the increases in the wages that
most labor is receiving over pre-war
wages"
In fixing the price at $2.46, the
association points out that the presi'
dent would only be adopting "the
