a book or newspaper would
be debarred from the United

to publish the whole story Of

known the details of the
whole hideous story, one fact
alone should be sufficient to

Americans are trying to

growers for the 1918 and
1919 crops, the probes is
filled with complications, in
as much as wheat, to a large
extent, is a yardstick for de-
termining the prices of food
stuffs in general. American
farmers raised 900, 900, 900
bushels Of wheat last year,
and Of this there is still an
exportable surplus of 275,
1000 to 325, 600, 1000 bu-
shells. It is as certain as
daylight that Europe is not
going to take onr surplus

near the price guaranteed
the farmer; and in view of
this contingency advocates
are attempting to discount
future months by urging the
Government to pocket loss
of three quarters Of a billion
dollars on the 1918 wheat
crop, thus permitting wheat
to seek its natural level,
