WORLDS S1.25

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--Grnin deal
crs appearing today before the house
agriculture committee proposed that the
government pay the guaranteed price OIL
s926 4 huShcl for the 1919 wheat crop
and sell il Ia the consumer at the world
market price. which they estimated
would be about $lo5. The witnesses
generally believed this plan would cost
the government probably billion and
4 quarter dollars but say this loss was
preferable 10 any attempt on the part
Of the Eovcrnmcnt TO maintain an artifi-
cial price
REPRESENTATIVE Lever of South Caro-
lima. suggested three other plansi That
the wheat movement be entirely on tho
9rc-war basis: that the movement pos
sihly hr restricted b. the government
being authorized to sell or buy so as to
, prevent manipulation. and that the do
nestle movement hc entirely on the pre-
wnr basis with tho export movement
under federal control.
Tho committee was holding hearings
on tho bill prepared by \. w. Glasgow.
counsel for thr food administration. in
cn-uprrntion with the department or aC-
ricul,urc The dealers strongly opposed
continuation OF the food ndministra-
tion's Grnjn corporation rs provided in

the corporation for buying and selling
tho crop.
Chairman Lever also announced his
d;Sapproval or the measure as drawn.
FdcclarlnE that it granted broader pow
crs than those Of the food control act. L.
j.. Gates, Of the Chicago board Of trade
declared the proposal was vicious

Glasgow has dixrcgardcd their suEgcs-
