EUROPE HAS PLENTY;
NO MONEY TO BUY
Storehouscs Filled to Overlooking
While Market is lnadequate--Hoov-
er Sees Danger. With Plentiful Har-
vest in America, of Further Initiation
or Radical Slump With Farmers
Meeting With Great Losses.

Paris, Sept "A depressing era OF
speculation in foodstuffs in the United
States and thruout the worlds food
markets is largely responsible for high
food cost. in the opinion of Herbert
Hoover. chairman of the interallied re-
lief organization. who, on the eve OF
his departure for the United States.
granted the Associated Press an inter-
view today.
'1Nharves and warehouses in north
ern European ports are overflownl
with foodstuffs sent by merchants over
the world" Mr.. Hoover said. These
merchants" he declared, had gam
bled on sales In Czecho- Slovakia, the
Baltic States and Germany at high
prices, but these states have only de-
preciated currency and many of the
foods are in danger Of spelling, as the
central European market is limited by
the ability of the people to buy on
credit"
GIut of Foodstuffs Foreseen.
Responding to an inquiry as to how
food speculation in America could be
checked. Mr.. Hoover said
Attorney General Palmer is on the
right track when he endeavors to break
down speculation and seeks to secure
powers never possessed by former ad-
ministrations to accomplish this step
The situation Is one that may well
cause anxiety also from another point
of view. We are now coming into
flood Of production of food stuffs In
the northern hemisphere and will again
have q surplus in the United States.
If. in the meantime. Europe had not
found credits to purchase winter sup
plies we are likely to have a glut and
prices may fall below the cost Of pro-
duction to American farmers.
THE present high prices of food are
not due to over-export to Europe from
the United States during the past year.
This can be demonstrated by the fact
that we enter a new harvest with Il
larger stock from production than last
year. II we are to account for the high
price level on the basis of over-export
we should have found a depreciation
of our national stocks"
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that the
difficult to deal with. as 1t extends over
the whole world. ...
High Prices or Dangerous Slump.
"The law of supply or demand Is not
working normally. While prospective
food supplies for the next twelve
months are about equal to the appar-
ent needs, unstable political situations,
n recurring shortage of shipping, a
shortage Of credit. and n combination
of either buyers or sellers will tend to
create great speculative ways and may
initiate prices to a point unendurab!'
to the consumer or in the reverse sit
uation to the farmer"
I'VE will have n large surplus next
year and must have n prosperous
farming community II we arc to have
the world fed next year"

Cunmins Plan of
Railroad Control
Prohibits Strikes

Washington, Sept. "A law to pro-
|'hibit strikes or lockouts of railroad
employees and thus protect the public
from transportation tieups was advo-
Gated by SeHator Robinson, democrat,
Arkansas, In an address today in the
senate
The time has come" he said, when
congress must protect the puslic
against loss of life and property and
widespread suffering which will
inevitably result if the railroads should
be tied up by general strike. The
ogniZed in our laws, particularly in
certain provisions in the Clayton act.
Those laws should be modified and
strikes of employees on railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce should
be forbidden
Senator Robinsons address was in
commendation Of the bill by Senator
Cummins, republican, of Iowa. drafted
by the senate interstate commerce sub
committee, proposing permanent
railroad policy of private ownership
and private operation of railroads un-
der strict government supervision and
with n committee on wages and work.
ing conditions composed equally OF
employers and employees, whose rec
omendations would be subject to
final decisions by the interstate com
merce commission.
All Rights Protected.
The Cummins bill, according to Sem
ator Robinson, who was member OF
the drafting subcommittee. amply
protects the rights of employees, en-
ployers and the public.
"Whle the right of the laborers to
quit employment for any reason is
recognized and preserved" Gin the bilD,
said Senator Robinson, Combinations
or agreements to hinder, restrain or
prevent the movement of commo-
modities or persons in inter-
state commerce or agreements which
have that effect are likewise penaiized.
ut is desirable, If possible, to devise
a plan that will meet with the approval
Of the laborers and at the same time
fairly safe guard the public interests.
But 1t might as well be understood in
the beginning that the question: is one
in which the public interest Is eqp.d to
that of the railroad and the 1aoofers,
if not controlling. "a that the dangers
Of general str or lockout Whlcn
would suspend commerce are so appar-
ent and far-reachinG that disputes are
likely to result in strikes or lockouts
on railroads must be determined in an
orderly manner.
