URGE U.S.. TO Make
wheat Loss GOOD
Grain Dealers Exporters
and Millers Unit in Demand
ing Government Pay
SUGGEST VARIED a.
WAYS OF PAYMENT

WASHINGTON Feb. 5-Grain dealers
exporters and millers yesterday pre-
sented TO the House Agriculture Com
mittee varied suggestions for methods
Of carrying out The governments guar
antee TO producers Of 1925 bushel for
the 1919 wheat crop.
All agreed that the true market price
as determined by world conditions
would drop below the guaranteed -raie
and that the government should make
good the difference directly rather than
by maintaining artitlcially the higher
price.
The witnesses also agreed that the
existing United States Grain Corpora
tiOn or some similar body should be
maintained as the governments agency
for supporting the price to growers.
They differed as to methods TO be pre-
scribed by legislation, which the COM
mitiee Is preparing 10 draft.
The grain dealers proposed that the
corporation actually buy the grain at
81 26, sell IL to millers or other con-
sumers at a price dictated by world
markets and acquire the country's sur
plus for export. The exporters sug-
gested that the corporations functions
be limited TO paying farmers the diff
ference between the government price
and the market price at which the
grain was sold. without actually TAX
ing possession, and consequently with
out piling up a great quantity for ex-
port.
The mlllers were interested mainly
in having the corporation given au-
thoriiy TO protect millers against losses
growing out OF the falling Of the vaeat
price from the present artificial level TO
the true world price, and the fluctua-
tions in the world price before II be-
comes stable under the corporations
administration.
Representatives of the respective in
te9ests appearing before the committee
today did not agree, wholly among
themselves over many details OF their
proposed plans.
In The main however the grain deal
rs advocated that the grain corpora
ion continue to function much as 1t
Ias done in the past. Thus the dealers

FORCE OF

States almost certainly would rely on
volunteers, attracted by good pay.
France and Italy possibly would return
10 conscription, on the ground that
they could not pay wages correspond
ing to those In the British and Ameri-
can armies. But, whereas, France had
a conscript army Of 10000 before the
war. IL probably would need only 90
or % per cent. Of that number under
the league. In case Of Great Britain
and the United States the number Of
soldiers would approximate their for
mer standing armies 100000 for the
British and 1900 for the American).
When the Central Powers were taken
into membership, the league would flx
the size of their armies.
Only great emergencies would be
likely TO call such armies to distant
points. In the event Of trouble on the
American continent, the United States
would be directed by the LEAGUE n
take action Similarly European trouble
would be settled by utilization OF the
armies nearest to the district a1ecteu.
II is believed this plan will meet with
the readiest approval Of all countries.
since it means the least change in pres
ent methods and Overcomes the nat
ural prejudice-which is felt by other
countries as well as America-against
sending troops TO distant lands except
in the case OF the greatest provocation.
Interchanges of views by the various
powers indicate that one feature Of the
new freedom Of the seas" laws will
be prohibition Of floating mines and
prohibition Of all mines outside ter
ritorial waters. Such mines would have
to be anchored and designed so they
would be rendered non-explosive If
they broke free. The three-mile limit

 General March, chief of staff of the army, told the Investigating subcommittee that 1,500,- 900 pounds of surplus army ham and bacon were allowed to spoil in warehouses because of the failure of the Quartermaster of the army to ex- pedite the sale to the public after the armistice was signed, last November"
 After wasting million and a half pounds of meat, the administration asks for appropriations of million and half dollars to study the high cost of living!

A MERE SCRAP OF PAPER

Calling all people who do not agree with the presidents league of nations scheme, "imbeciles idiots, and hun-loyers pro- Germans and like names does not seem to be making hit with the people in general. There is no argument in calling one who happens to disagree with you a fool Regardless of politics, the average person would rather President Wilson would point out the advantages to America guaranteed in the proposed league of nations.
 No one wants more war; we are all agreed on that point. But the proposed league of nations only makes it more probable that we will have to send over more soldiers, more money, and more food to help whip some European nation in order that England or some other nation may reap the benefits and profits guaranteed by the peace terms and covenant.
 The whole scheme looks like the aggrandize- ment of Wilson, who has returned home after pleasant visit with his entourage of some 300 servants and others in Paris, and demands that America "sign on the dotted line" All the while it was supposed that our soldiers were fighting to make the huns sign on the dotted line.
 The soldiers up in Siberia are singing Show Us the Way Back Horle," and the people in the good old U. S. are heartily joining in the chorus
 mot only for the boys up there, but having Tn were no strikes and riots from one end of the land to the other President Wilson lays it all to the fact that the senate has not signed the so-called "covehant of peace" He is just as right now as he was when "he kept us out of war" and was "too proud to fight"
 Mere "scraps of paper" do not make peace; neither will political scraps America will not agree to robbing China to pay Japan for signing "a scrap of paper" Uncle Sam's paper has al- ways been good and it does not seem to the av- craze American that it is his duty to sign Eng lands notes to insure her the freedom of the seas and other concessions granted by the peace con- ference.
