PRIORITY GIVEN
GRAIN, FLOUR AND
OTHER PRODUCTS
Republican A. ?. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Transport-
alton priority for grain, flour, cornmeal
and other grain products in western
and middle western producing states
was ordered today by Director General
McAdoo to hasten to market all grains
and particularly accumulated stores Of
soft corn.
This corn, full of moisture as a re-
suit of last years conditions, COM
poses as much as 40 per cent of the
stocks in many sections and is threat
ened with rotting in moderate weather
of the last few days unless rushed to
elevators and dried.
The order is intended also to insure
adequate shipments of grain to fill al
lied orders. The situation was dis
cuSSed yesterday at a conference be-
tween Director General McAdoo and
Sir Richard Crawford, commercial at
tache of the British embassy, who ex-
pressed fear that bad transportation
conditions of recent weeks in the Unit
ed States would seriously interfere
with the allied food program unless
special efforts were made to hasten
grain to seaports.
Thousands of box cars will be used
for the grain movement and conse-
quently will be withheld from indus
orders have been in effect throughout
the western states for several days, and
the quantity of grain hauled has been
far greater than in the corresponding
period of last year.
In addition to supplying more cars
and giving preferential movement, rail-
roads were ordered to have station
agents in rural communities and then
traffic agents explain to farmers the
necessity of prompt loading and move
ment Of grain stocks.
The preferential movement will be
discontinued as soon as the emergency
| is past. The railroad administration
announcement specifies states to which
the preferential order applies, but Off
Gals said it will be effective in others
when the need of prompt shipment is
| apparent.
Even before the issuance of today:
order the railroads might have giver
| priority to grain under a former au,
! thorizing special preference for fooc
products, fuel and war materials. Som,
| roads had not furnished as many boz
cars as appeared necessary for grair
movement, and the special instruction:
were issued accordingly.
CHICAGO, Feb. S.-R. H. Ashton
region director of western railroads
today issued orders to all roads to Civ,
preference and priority to box cars fo
grain shipments in IL states in an eff
fort to break the grain blockade. TIL
orders were issued under direction
from Director General McAdoo.

AITKIN BUSY IN
HALF AND HALF
CHECK ON FLOUR

One Of tho most important branches
oil the food administration is that which
is being carried out by II. D. Aitkin
Of Prescott. As state merchants rep
rcsontative he has built up an organ
lzation which is doing wonders in Sc
curing the thorough cooperation of the
wholesale and retail merchants of the
state in carrying out the program for
food conservation as outlined by the
food administration authorities at
Washington and Timothy A Riordan,
federal food administrator for Arizona.
Mr.. Aitkin has correspondents in
each Of the larger towns who send in
regular reports on the general condi-
tons Of the supply situation, together
with report of any infractions Of the
regulations, which may have come to
his notice. His workers are at present
engaged in an exhaustive survey Of
FOOD conditions to determine the
amount OF substitutes available to take
the place Of wheat flour.
The new fifty fifty regulations gov
orning the sale Of flour is causing an
endless amount of work, not only in
the checking up Of the merchants but
in the matter Of assisting them in OBJ
tanning supplies. As the representative
ot a large wholesale concern, Mr.. Ait
kin is making every effort possible to
secure ample supplies of the substi
tutes for points reporting that they are
running low.
One Of the most important undertake

ministration is the fair price drive

INITIATION NOT To
BE CAUSED BY
WAR LEGISLATION
[RenubIican A. p. Leased Wire1


WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Enactment
OF the war finance corporation bill
to strengthen the country's financial
and Industrial conditions for war
vas urged before the senate finance
committee today by Secretary Nc
Adoo. with the support of w. p. G.
Harding, governor. and Paul N.
Warburg. vice governor OF the fed
eral reserve board
Secretary McAdoo said the leais-
lation not only would not cause in
flation but would serve to prevent il
lie outlined in detail the plan under
which, with a capital of a half bill
non dollars ana authority to issue
oo,oOO,0O0 IN bonds to finance es-
sentlal industries, the government
would control all security issues dur
ing the war. He will be recalled
Monday when he will be questioned
by the committee regarding the bill.
A similar measure has already been
introduced in the house and hearings
on it will open Monday before the
ways and means committee.
Secretary McAdoo declared the
proposed measure should be re-
Sarded primarily as legislation to
enable banks and trust companies
10 continue to furnish essential
credits for industries and enterprises
which are necessary or contributorv
to the war
The bill has been drawn" he ex-
planned, with the double purpose Of
restricting unnecessary capital ex-
penditures and of providing facilities
for aiding these industries whose
operations are necessary or con-
rributory to the prosecution Of the
! war
THE bill is purely a war measure
designed to conserve the supply OF
! labor and materials for the purpose
of the war and to help supply the
wars financial requirements and to
! give them first claim on capital
seeking investment in like manner as
the wars material requirements have
been given first claim on production.
BY the term war industries is meant
| not only those industries turning out
| the actual munitions of war but also
| those supplying any of the other ele-
ments of production or distribution
in an industrial structure designed
1 to meet the diversified requirements
of the war.
Mr.. Warburg said the federal re-
serve board is to a degree exercis-
ing powers similar to those proposed
in the bill through voluntary action OF
banks and financiers.
