PRESIDENT TO PROTECT
u. S. WHEAT GROWERS

the Presidents act In setting II at a
lower figure. This brought a singing
veto from the President, who pointed
out that a minimum price Of s2.4O
would add 50 10 the price OF a barrel
OF -four. Based upon the estimated
wheat crop, he said, the increase would
be equivalent TO the enormous sum OF
s3s7, 100000. The Allied governments
would be obliged TO make all their pur
chases at the increased figure and the
whole scale Of their financial opera
tions in this country, in which our gov
ernment is directly assisting. would
be correspondinsly enlarged. The in
crease would also add materially to
the cost Of living and would inevitably
bring about further increase in wages
to meet It.
The threat OF the Senate cabal that
II they can't get the $3.50 price for
winter wheat. they would prefer no
price holds no terrors for the President
or for the food administration, except
that 1t is a menace to the farmer. No
speculation In wheat Is allowed and
no boarding permitted. So that a mo
price" situation would not bring about
an era OF wheat gambling. But IL the
war were to end suddenly it would
bring danger to our farmers unless a
price for wheat had been guaranteed
by the government
There is no dearth Of wheat in the
world. There are half billion bush
els in Australia and India and new
crop coming on. There Is probably an
exportable surplus OF over $50 million
bushels in South America. But this
wheat Is locked up at present because
Of the German submarines and the scar
city OF ships.
In the meantime Australia and In
dia continue to grow wheat. II is a
crop that keeps. The British govern
ment guarantees a price Of 95 cents a
bushel while they are holding it South
American wheat goes at about si.36
per bushel.
With the war ended Australian, In
dian and South American wheat will
pour into the worlds markets and the
price Will drop. II there Is no guaran-
teed price American wheat will also
slump. But II the President proclaims
a fixed price for the 1919 crop, tariff
barriers can be fixed to prevent a low
ering Of price that will prove Injurious
to agricultural interests.

Where the hope Of mankind, the moro It bleeds

America. the poet goes on to say. is
