In yetoing the s2S.0O0.0o0 annual
agriculture appropriation bill because
OF Its amendment fixing the govern.
ment guaranteed minimum Whea'
price at $40 a bushel. the president
informed Congress that he did not be-
lieye the farmers Of America depend
upon a stimulation Of price to do their
utmost to save the nation anu the
world Mt this time of crisis" The pres
ident said patriotic spirit OF the farmer
has been worthy Of all praise and mas
shown them playing n most admiral BILE
and gratifying part in the full mobiIl-
zation of the resources OF the country.
He added that the bumper crops they.
have raised this year have relieved
.'the food anxiety of the nations array
ed against Germany with regard To
their food supplies" Congress was
further informed that the President
did not believe that such inelastic pro.
visions as contained in the bill could
be advantageous to the producer and
customer because they established ar
bitrary levels which are quite indepen-
dent Of the normal market conditions.
The administrative method IN fixing
prices. he said. has been entirely salts

price Of flour from $l0.50 to $12.50 a
barrel, burden Of $3S7.000.00O. this
wear on the customers. Such an in
crease in price. he said, would force
similar increase In Canada. thus en-
larging the whole scale Of financial
operations In this country by the al
lied governments and affecting prac-
tically the entire world.
