PREDICTS DROP IN
FOOD PRICES SOON
Peek Declares Grain Appropri
alton Will Be Used to Keep
Wheat From. Soaring and
Other Prices Down.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, D. c., March 25.-
Cheaper food in the near future was
predicted today by Chairman Peek, of
the department Of of the in
dustrial board, at a conference with
food administration officials in New
York.
Mr.. Peek said there had been gen.
eral misunderstanding of a recent
statement by Mr.. Hoover that wheat
might go to $3.50 a bushel, and added
that the $1,000,000 grain appropriation
was made by congress to enable the
public to get wheat products at rea-
sonable prices as well as to make good
the guarantee to the producer.
With wheat prices reasonable, Mr..
Peek said, reasonable prices of other
products could be expected, because
wheat was the barometer Of the food
trade.
Mr.. Peek. and William M. Ritter, a
member of the board, returned from
New York this morning, where they
went to secure from officials of the
food administration and it's grain cor
poration a statement Of their policy OF
food products.
Mr.. Peek made this statement:
Foo administration officials felt
that it was unfortunate that there
had been such general misunderstood
ing of Mr.. Hoover's statement hat we
might see wheat at $3.50 a bushel,'
what Mr.. Hoover said was we
might see wheat at $3.50 a bushel, as
At was in the spring of 1917, if there
is a free market in wheat and uncon-
trolled prices So much for the 1915
crop. There can be no free market
of 80 per cen of the worlds exports
AS to the 1919 crop, it is, of course, toe
early to come to any precise con-
clusion."
Further. the phrasing of the grain
appropriation bill clearly indicates that
the $1,000, 900, 900 appropriation was
| made by congress-, not only to make
| good the 1926 guarantee to the farm
ers, but to enable the government tc
sell wheat and flour at the guaran-
| teed prices, or at such other prices
| and on such terms or conditions as
| may be necessary to carry out the pnr-
poses of the act, and to enable the
| people Of the United States to pur-
chase wheat products at reasonable
cost. Wheat is the basic food COM
modify. What is a reasonable cos
may be determined by conditions. 1r
July the wheat crop, estimated at more
than 1.250, COO, 900 bushels, will begir
to come to market.
81 believe, therefore. that there is
! every reason to expect lower foot
| prices in the relatively near future
| This view. I believe, the men in charge
of the affairs of the God administra,
! ton will share"

SUGGEST NATIONAL
COAL COMMISSION
Fuel Administration Would Gre
ate National Body to Teal With
Readjustment Problems.
BY Associated Press.

Washington. d. c., March 25-PlanS
for more effective cooperation between
the government md the coal industry,
with expected benefits resulting to the
general public, have been submitted
in referendum form to the members of
the National Goa Association, repre-
senting three-fourths of the country's
bituminous production. The fuel adj
ministration, in making this
ment said the plans were the put
growth of conferences held by Admin
istrator Garfield with coal operators
and mine workers.
The plans, which the fuel admins
tration said were submitted to Pres
ident Wilson before his return to
France. provide that during the
period of reimbursement and there
after" a commission consisting of a
member of the cabinet and representa-
tives Of operatives and miners shall
consider all problems affecting the in
dustry. The commission would act as
an advisory body in matters of cost
of production. labor conditions, trans
portation and other problems of the
industry.

RICH COLD STRIKE
IN ALASKAN FIELD
Prospectors Stampede to Stake
Claims at New Digging Place
on Yukon, Mine
Owner Reports.

Seattle, WASH, March PA gold
strike has been made As miles above
Marshal City and a SHEET distance be-
low Holycross on the Yukon river, ac-
cording to r. w. Parks, owner of the
only quicksilver mine in the territory.
Parks has just arrived in Seattle from
Kuikokwim district. Alaska.
Parks met a number of prospectors
at Atinka who had stampeded to the
new digging sand. All of them re-
ported so pans had been taken from
the sands. The creek runs into a
slough of the Yukon river, making 1t
AN easy matter to land supplies at the
digging place.
Parks thinks it useless for anyone
to start for there now.

States would pay the majority OF the
bills. As an alternative they suggest
Observation-Disclosures of exchange. The
effect OF this would be to bring UP the
economic value OF the franc. with con-
sequent loss in the present value Of
tho dollar.
"Meanwhtle. Franco has done moths
ing to date to meet the serious finan-
cial situation confronting her, due TO
this hope of some International arr
rangement. The French people have
not been taxed within SO per cent al
heavily as the British and Americana
for carrying on tho war, with the
present situation Is the result.
Committees Slow.
Against the set program Of having
all COMMITTEES reports submitted by
March :. only two major committees
have completed their work-the, mill
tary and naval bodies. These terms
are now ready for inclusion In the
peace treaty, except for a few minor
details. PREPARATION, boundaries and
postwar economic terms are still in
a fluid state.
A the present rate Of progress the
discussions would drag on for weeks.
But certain conferees agreed this can
not be the case. In view Of the reports
from Hungary and Germany, some
drastic action appears likely to be
taken within a few days.
TT president and other leaders
have put In long hours and the COM
mittees have done the same, but they
have little to show for their efforts
since the presidents return. Whether
the peace treaty Is completed by next
Saturday, as planned, depends upon
whether a different program from the
present %dickering is forced through"
Monroe Doctrine Change.
An amendment to the League of Ma
tons covenant covering the Monroe
doctrine advocated by President Will
son and Colonel House is expected to
be presented 1t tonight's session Of
the league commission.
The proposed amendment would pre-
vent n power from acquiring terri
tory in the western hemisphere by
conquest, purchase, treaty or otherwise
unless the Americas consented.
This article was reported today to
the meeting with opposition from
within the commission, especially by
the British and French, who have ex-
tensive interests in the Americas. 1t
could not be learned whether the presi-
dent will attempt to force through the
amendment despite the opposition, but
1. was believed he will strongly advo-
cate its adoption, tnasmuch as 1t would
remove much Of the ground for oppo-
sition in the United States. The Mon
roe doctrine proposal is held by some
to mark q considerable recession from
Wilson's original position, that the
covenant would not be altered except
in a minor way.

WASHINGTON ALARMED.
Rv A~ssocia+ed Preee

Washington, d. c., March 25.-Grave
concern was evident today in official
and diplomatic quarters here over the
of the seizure of government in
Hungary by a bolshevist regime, which
has ~inaugurated it's advent by declar-
ing a state of war with the entente
powers and seeking an alliance with
the Russian bolshevists.
No one in authority would attempt
to forecast the result or discuss what
measures might be adopted by the vas
ISOLATED powers, chiefly because the
state department so far is without
official advices on the subject.
With President Wilson and Score
tary Lansing in Paris the attitude Of
the American government toward any
measures that may be proposed will
be determined and announced there.

PORPOSED NEW YORK-SAN
 FRANCISCO FLIGHT

Not to be oatdone by the Nays big transatlantic flight, the air service Of the United States Army has made arrange ments for an airplane trip across the country. from New York to San Francisco. The start will probably be made on June II from Mineola, Long Island. It is planned to make but one stop, at North Platt. Neb., which is l, 502 miles distant from Mineola. If this trip is made without land ing, it will constitute the world $ long-distant record, since it will beat 300 miles Commander Reeds record in the NC-4 on the flight from Newfound- land to the Azores. The second leg of the proposed cross-continent trip from North Platt to San Francisco. is 1,248 miles long and will be particularly hazardous because of the necessity of flying over the Rocky Mountains. If this entire trip is successfully completed within a period of two days, as is planned. it will pro- bably mean the establishment in the near future of IS hour mail service between New York and San Francisco.
