Committee. lie urged that wheat be sold
at the world price and declared the
Chicago. Board was in favor OF returning
to the law Of supply and demand
The pending bill would give broad
powers to the grain corporation for price

Mr.. Reynolds presented resolutions of
his association urging Congress to ap-
prOpriate not less than Si,25o. 100000
for maintaining the price and that con-
sumers buy wheat and wheat products
at the export price. A loss OF 81 a bushel
on wheat, he intimated, might be suf-
fered by the government.
The government" Mr.. Gates asserted
adopted an economic fsllacy at the

demand. There are two ways out one
to drag along by some agency disregard

Philadelphia with soldiers from overseas
will not be welcomed officially by the
committee which has been empowered to
arrange official welcomes for returning
