This Plan. SIX

: Washington, Dec. 3.-Creation OF q
joint congressional committee, consist

will be sought. 1t was said, after
President Wilson had advocated this
plan in his address before Congress.
This committee would call railway
executives, labor leaders, financial rep
resentatives, officials of the Railroad
administration and members OF the In
terstate Commerce commission to give
their views as to the best policies for
future management of the rail lines.
The committee then would attempt
to formulate a plan for some sort Of
unified control and common manage
ment which most students of railroad
matters are said to advocate, regard
less Of whether the government retains
or relinquishes its present control.
The need for haste in this program
was explained by the President and
emphasized later by Railroad admin
istration officials who admitted they
anticipate difficulty in carrying out
plans for acquiring new equipment.

making extensive improvements con-
templated for next year without
stretching the governments war pow

Since the advent Of the latest whea

shortage Of shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped 65,9SO,3O1

until the end of the fiscal year we will

The result of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton Of hostilities we are able to re-
turn to normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail

But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream of wheat and flour NOV

Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus Of
10000. 600 bushels. And yet Europe;
was facing the probability OF bread
famine and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article In the diet
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the frst
of the year we had mana ged to ship o
little more than 5O,OOO.OO0 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days. wheatless

cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord RhOndda.

that only five sent an additional 75.-s

take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peO-
pie was S5.OOO.OOO bushels safely deliv-

us only 2O.OOO,0O0 bushels surplus We
actually shipped 100000 bushels.
