It has been demonstrated in Europe

If Uncle Sam Keeps His War Promise

Half Billion DOL

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The
keeping of Uncle Sans war promises
to his farmers is going to cost half
billion dollars and perhaps more.
It will take this amount to pay
the difference between the market
price of the forecast one billion
bushels 1919 wheat crop and the
price of s2.26 set by the president
during war time, Chairman Lever OF
the house agricultural committee es-
timated today.
Lever today had in first stages OF
preparation a bill extending the life
of the United States Grain corpora
ton and increasing its capital stock
from s150,000,000 to about s600.00o.-
600. The bill is the result of joint
recommendation of the food admins
tration and agricultural department,
which called congress attention to
the following facts:
All indications now point to the
sowing of 100000 acres OF wheat
with the greatest of bumper crops
reaching over a billion bushels.
OF this only about 600 100000
bushels can be used at home.
The most this country ever export
ed was 10000, 900 bushels and this,
when it stood as the worlds only
wheat shipper without the competi-
ton of Argentina, Australia and
other countries.

concerns soon would be building
thousands OF commercial planes and
operating them as mail and passen-
ger carrying vehicles. This. it is
pointed out, would insure employ
ment to thousands of expert aviators
trained during the war. Further
more, it would enable Great Britain
at all times to have an immense air
fleet at her disposal. together with
the necessary trained aviators.
The success of the subsidy plan
as it was worked out in connection
with the merchant marine and the
motor lorries is being cited as one
argument in favor Of air subsidies.
When war was declared, Great Brit
ain had at her disposal thousands Of
merchant craft, many of which quick
w were transformed into fighting
ships. Everybody remembers the
hundreds of motor lorries which
were sent to France from London
and other cities. The lorries are
much like the motor BUSES used on
Fifth avenue, New York.
