LONGER CREDIT MAY
 SOLVE WHEAT CRISIS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-If the United States is to sell it's surplus wheat to the allies this year. the trans action must be on a credit basis, Julius Barnes, head of the food administra- tion's grain corporation, told the house agriculture committee today on a hearing on legislation to provide d method for carrying out the govern ment's guaranteed price of s2.26 a bushel for the 1919 wheat crop.
 The allies have not the financial ability to pay cash for the wheat it was explained. and the United States government will have to extend fur ther credits. At present, the treasury has no power to make loans to the allies after peace is declared. although request to be permitted to extend the unused portion, about sl.500, 600 900. of credits already authorized for war loans to allies for peacetime purchases in this country.
 MT Barnes recommended that con- gress appropriate s1,000, 900 900 to finance the marketing of the new crop and give the president broad powers over the export of wheat and trading in this country He said it was neces- sary 10 protect the millers against loss or there would be a dangerously low level of flour available, as the period of government guarantee drew to a close June l. 1920.
 The witness declared that except for aid by the treasury in the last year, there might have been a debacle in the wheat guarantee, because the law es- tablishing the guarantee did not give the means of making it effective. He said money advanced by the treasury to foreign governments for the pur- chase of grain gave the corporation working capital necessary to market the crop which it could not obtain in any other way, having no borrowing power.
 The s15OOOOO 900 capital of the cor | poration, he said would be returned to the treasury with ordinary interest when the organization is dissolved and it is possible that much of the Sl,000 00c,000 asked to finance the new crop will be returned.

 U.S. NAVAL RESERVES
Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Rear Ad- miral Victor Blue. chief of the bureau of navigation. wrote Chairman Pad gett of the house naval committee to- day that the navy department had di- reCted to date the release of 40 per cent of the reserves. 40 per cent of the men who enlisted for the war only and 20 per cent of the men who, since the be- ginning of the war had enlisted for the regular .fouryear period.
 Commanding officers of ships and stations have been directed Admiral Blue said, to give preference in making releases to men with dependent fami- lies and men desiring to complete their education He explained that if the number of applicants exceeded the number of men the navy could spare, discharges would be decided by lot.
 The admiral wrote that the burea, was very desirous of completing the rehabilitation of the navy personnel as quickly as possible, but that it soon would have to place in commission some 3S to 4Q large vessels to be used as transports in bringing home troops from France, and that in addition a number of cargo ships had to be manned. Activities of the navy could be interfered with, he said. and provision must also be made for activities Iii prospect.
 Admiral Blue estimated that by Feb ruary 70 half of the remaining per sonnel on shore would have been dis charged. New enlistments in the navy now are at the rate of about 1600 a week, the admir- lsaid, but he added that the full effect of new enlistments On demoEilization plans would not be felt for several months, as the new men would have to be trained before they could be sent to ships.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The American chamber of commerce in London is ar ranging a series of conferences be- tween importers of American goods and British manufacturers of similar articles, in the hope of reaching agree ments that will influence the import restrictions the British government has announced it will rcimpOse on March F. Importers of American goods are re ported as having suffered more than other businessmen during the war, and as having been considerably gratifield when soon after the armiStice. the British government removed restric- ions on a long list of articles. These importers il is said, also foresee great business difficulties over the decision of- the government to renew the re- Strictious on American goods. The de- CisiOn to restrict imports was made after conference between British manufacturers and the officials of the British board of trade,
 In view of the unavoidable delays in dealing with trade subjects through any government department, the man. ufacturers and importers, on the pro- pOsal Of the American chamber of com
 
 own problems and submit the results to the British government
 Agreement Will Govern
 In the case of rubber goods, the con- ference representative of the British government is reported 10 have said that the government would act accord . ing to the agreement reached.
 Therefore, should the conferees agree that some American rubber goods are needed at this time, it is entirely likely that the restrictions will be. modified.
 Conferences on the much discussed boot and shoe restrictions will be taken up tomorrow The British govern ment will he represented in person by a member of the board of trade but only in an advisory capacity The con ference will be composed of three Brit ish manufacturers, three importers chiefly Of American goods. and three representatives of a delegation of American shoe manufacturers who ar rived in England yesterday.
 It is proposed to have conferences of representatives of each trade affected Thus far eleven such conferences have been arranged.

 MT. Needer said he failed to obtain a personal interview with the presi- dent and thereupon Louis F. Swift president of Swift & Co., wrote the president protesting that the investi- gation was unfair.
 Refuses to Interfere
 Secretary Tumulty replied under date of February 2, saying the presi- dent had looked into the natter and that his inquiry had convinced hin that there would be no warrant for his interfering with the judgment and action of the commission"
 Repeated efforts were made to influ ence other officials to obtain a change in the manner of the investiga tion. MT Veeder said but they were unsuccess- ful. These criticisms brought from Francis J. Heney, conducting the cross examination, a challenge for the witness to name single case in which the packers had been denied the right to be heard.
 MT. Veeder said they had sought no hearing because they believed it would be useless.
 Senator Norris Of Nebraska ques- toned the accuracy of a letter from Mir. Swift to the president, in which it was stated Swift and company's divi- dends for 1917 were ten per cent.

FINANCES RAPIDLY
 ] REGA|N|NC NORMAL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Definite evidences of the beginning of finan- ciN recnperation, following abnormal war conditions. were set forth today hNs the federal reserve board in a re- view of the forthcoming February ne- sccVe bulletin. These evidences are:
 Increase of bank balances at finan- ci;a centers; a tendency toward lower rates for money, lessening of the amount of war paper held by federal reserve and member banks; inflow of sold coin and gold certificates at banks, indicating a greater confidence in the financial situation and lessened den1and for money; decline in the vol unre of federal reserve notes outstand- ing, demonstrating the elasticity of the federal reserve system.
 The board deplored evidences of re- laNltion of war time economies. say ina that industries of the United States ana other countries soon would need ouantities of capital. and that it be- bOoves Americans to continue to be thrifty and pile up reserves of credit.
 Return of active production and cunsumption is being retarded" the board observed. "by high expenses Of production"
 Despite big exports of foods and raw materials in December the board be- lieves we are still facing the prob lem of finding and organizing a mar ket for our manufactured goods in foreign countries. in which We can hardly hope to make the desired suc- cess so lang as prices continue on a level higher than existing in other countries
 Those countries which first sue ceeded in adjusting their costs of pro- duction and restoring their industry to a normal level of values.' said the board, will be most successful in de- Neloping their exports and controlling the markets of consuming nations the world over
