The commission charged that "appar-

The excess on June 4, 1919, over June

the commission said. This did not in.
elude surplus army food.
1.-The fact that stocka Of many i'm

higher, apparently means that they are
being withheld speeulatively for a
world demand, which is not now here,
but which is expected whel hunger

with which higher food prices can be
paid, the commission said.
