CONGRESS
WILL TAKE UP

Drummond Believes. Definite
Actionon Price Fixing
Will be Taken.

tefhatlOnal Farm Congress, which
meets here September 25-27, will take
dedlnlte action in the controversy over
wheat prices fixed by the United
States Grain corporation, was indi-
Gated in a statement made by w. L.
Drumrnond. general manager Of the
congress, which accompanied the an
nouncement that Julius II. Barnes,
president of the 3 grain corporation,
mad accepted an invitation to speak
here.
Following a round table discussion
Of wheat prices, in; which farmers and
others attending the congress will be
given an opportunity to question Mr..
Barnes at length, the congress may
take action in the form Of passing
resolutions either in approval, in dis
approval, or suggesting changes" In

more than doubling the pre-war price
on No. i wheat, has also made a diff

war margin between each grade of
wheat, came particularly from official
quarters In Missouri and Kansas and
from some of the leading farm papers
IN the two states. DR.. H. J. Waters,
formerly dean of the Kansas State
Agricultural school, led the opposition
TO what he termed an overturning of
customs set by years of marketing ex-
perience between producer and buyer.
The contention of DR.. Waters and
OF other opponents was along this
line: Under the usual system Of mar
keting practiced before the war, it
had become customary to make a diff
terence of about n cen a pound be-
tween each grade of wheat, When
a standard price on No. i wheat, now
more than double the average price
of pre-war days, was-set by President
Wilson, the fixing of relative prices
on lower grades was left to the dis
erection of the United States Grain
corporation, which fixed prices for
those. grades in the same ration of in

in price of No. 1 wheat. This sys-

CLEMENCEAU CERTAIN TO
BE ELECTED PRESIDENT

Paris, Dec. 26.-President Poin-
cares successor will be elected on
January II, according to the infer
ence generally drawn by the Partisan
press from Premier Clemenceau's
statement in the chamber that his
cabinet would definitely resign on
that date. 1t is also deduced from the
premier's declaration that he will be
a candidate for the presidency which
means he will be elected virtually
without opposition!
Speculation regarding "the Tigers
successor as head of the cabinet is
consequently eclipsing discussion as
to the next president of the repub-
lie. Alexandra Millerand, governor
of Alsace-Lorraine, seems to have
great lead so far as predictions are
concerned.
M. Clemenceau's acceptance of the
presidency is so far taken for granted
that gossip as to the next occupant
of the Elysee palace has been almost
completely stihed.

REGARDLESS OF U. S.

Berlin, Via Basle, Dec. 26.-The
allied reply to the latest German
note regarding the peace treaty pro-
tocol, was published here today,
The first paragraph of the reply
expresses satisfaction that the Ger
man government shares the point of
view of the allies that the provisions
of the treaty of peace are applica-
BILE from the moment of the treaty's
entry into force, whether ratifica-
tion by the United States has or has
not occurred. The allies take note
that Germany admits in principle no
contracting party can refer to the
non-pariicipation of the United
States in the first deposit of ratifica-
ton documents as a ground for
questioning any stipulation of the
treaty.
The third paragraph expresses the
determination of the allies to insist
upon demanding the signing of the
protocol with the provisions regard
ing compensation for the sinking of
the German warships in Scapa Flow
unchanged.
The fourth paragraph deals with
the willingness of the allies to re-
duce the tonnage demanded if it is
proved that the demand vitally en-
dangers Germany.

OIL PRODUCERS REPLY
TO CARRANZA STATEMENT
ON MEXICAN PROPERTIES

Washington, Dec. 27.-The Mexi-
can embassy is trying to befog the
issue raised by Carranza's alleged
prevention of drilling of new oil wells
by American companies, it was
charged today in statement issued
by the Association of American Pro-
ducers in Mexico. The statement was
issued as an answer to one given out
yesterday by the Mexican embassy
here.
"The Mexican embassy persists in
endeavoring to befog the issue raised
by the attempt to confscate Ameri-
can oil properties, through discussion
Of what it is pleased to term 'poten-
tial production" the statement said.
"The only kind of production of
any interest to Americans is the
amount of Mexican oil of the kind
absolutely necessary for American
industries and mercantile marine pur-
poses available after Mexican mill
tary forces have stopped the drilling
campaign which was being actively
conducted by American companies in
the effort to keep up available sup
ply.
GAS to the latter point, the state
ments heretofore issued by the oil
producers association are strictly
accurate and the Mexican embassy
statement wholly misleading to the
American public.
"sThe Mexican government can not
and has not attempted to deny the
long series of it's aggressive acts Of
confscation of which the stoppage Of
drilling wells by American companies
is merely an example. These acts
have all been made the occasion of
protests by the American govern.
ment."
= The Mexican embassy in its state.
ment of yesterday said that the po.
tential capacity of the 80 oil pro.
ducing wells in Mexico is 100000
barrels day, of which only 100000
barrels are being extracted daily
1T said that the Mexican government
is not preventing the production OF
oil by Americans although in some
cases "it has been deemed expedient
to exact compliance in the laws on
boring of new wells

was somewhat changed in view of
President Wilson's definite decision
to turn back the roads in two mon
tbs. In view of the short period of
government control there was feel
ing in some quarters that the direct
or general might refuse to saddle a
wage increase on the roads on the
eve of their return to private opera
ton. Most of the leaders insisted,
however, that the demands would not
be rejected since President Wilson
had promised to use his influence to
get more wages for railway men if
the government failed :educe the
cost of living.
Urge Speedy Action.
Although every effort will be
made to expedite railroad legislation,
somedoubt was expressed today
whether the Esch and Cummins bills
could be cut to pieces and put to-
gether again by the time set for the
end of the federal control of the
roads. Meanwhile great pressure is
being brought to bear on members
of the Senate and House TO speed u,
work, but there is little hope of get
ting the bill out OF conference be-
fore the end of January.
