Hoarding

|. when the period of termination
sets in.
Up to March 10 the United States
was 100000 tons behind in it's program
or cereal export. Much of the pro-
gram was to have been corn, but the
breakdown in railroad TRANSPORTATION
delayed shipment so that wheat, which
carrier in the year had been given
priority, had to be sent abroad to
avert famine.
AS only wheat and barley can he
shipped after April | the public is
being asked to cut its consumption of
wheat to so per cent of normal. ana
even that sacrifice barely will stretch
supplies to meet demand unless every
bushel held on farms and in ware-
houses is put on the market.
The March l report of the Denart
ment of Agriculture showed III 900 900
bushels Of wheat on farms and
69O00,000 bushels in elevators. since
the agitation in Congress to incren "a
the price Of wheat to $3.50 receints at
mills have dwindled from 5000 O0O
bushels to 100000 bushels n week
The only requisitioning ordered so
far has heen in the case of two
brothers of German ancestry. living in

bought. No distinction was made nv

"Of all this nothing may materiaIize

Invitation 10 peace conference, which
they did not accept. In the meantime
they have experienced the complete COL
lapse of Russia and the partial col

Germany.
About the liberation of France and
Belgium there can be no talk now, and
It looks even as if the Allies would
lose another big piece of French ground
In this war there has not yet been an
offensive movement Of such a dimension
and such initial success as the present

what the outcome, it is certain that at

be In a position to make so great and

been undertaking"
II want TO protest against any in
situations that this committee has been
muck -raking," he said. He also added

anonymous communication, but added
that 1t came on the stationary of high
priced Philadelphia hotel where he
believes some of the Hog Island officials
