PLEADS FOR NORMAL
TRADING IN WHEAT
Representative Anderson Tells
Committee L. S. Should
Shoulder Loss.
FEARS SHORTAGE IN MILLS
Attitude of Members Indicates
Agreement to Fix Price
on World Basis.
Special Despatch to THE suN.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 27.-The first ex-
preston of strong feeling in the
Agricultural Committee of the House
and in the House itself in favor OF
return to competitive trading In wheat
came in the form OF a speech to-day
by Representative Anderson (Minne-
sota), leading member Of the Agricul-
tural Committee.
Mr.. Anderson not only urged that the
present abnormal trading conditions be
relieved by the Government making good
to the farmers the difference between
the Government price of S2.26 bushel
and the world market price. but favored
the plan outlined in THE SCN yesterday
morning whereby the machinery of .pri-
vate Initiative and competition should
take charge Of the wheat at the country
elevator the Government making good
at that point the difference between
the price paid the farmer by the miller
and the Governments guaranty price
This is the plan strongly urged by
big grain dealers through which the
normal channels OF trade would receive
the wheat at the earliest practicabl BILE
moment, as opposed to n plan by which
the Government should actually pur-
chase the wheat Mt the guaranty price
and market 1t through governmental
agencies

KAISER DOOMED BY
PROPHECY OF WITCH
Century Old Prediction Al
most Fulfilled.
Special Correspondence to THE suS.

cpeCu+ COTesponocnce 10 thh cS"'
LONDON, Jan. e.--An interesting ac-
count OF prophecy made a hundred
years ago by reputed witch is given
In the monthly magazine Of the Over
seas Club and Patriotic League.
This was to the effect that grest
monarch would arise In Prussia who
would hold sway over the German peo-
pies and become one Of tho mightiest
potentates that the world ever has seen.
He would be the father OF six sons and
one daughter and be crippled in one
arm.
HIS boundless ambition would win for
him unparalleled successes, but before
his death he would be able to assemble
all his possessions under tho shade of a
lime tree.
This prophecy often was discussed in
the Prussian royal family and when the
kaiser's seventh child--a daughter-was
born great alarm was felt.

ments guaranty to the farmer.
One Of these contemplates maintain
ing the price OF wheat at S2.26 a bushel,
passing the burden of the high cost on
to the consumer. and the other to have
the Government absorb the difference
between the world price and the fixed
price at the source.
Explains How Plan Works.
Objections to the first plan he de-
clared ARE not only great but abso-
lutely insurmountable"
"As have indicated the Government s
loss, and 1t is probable there will be a
loss on the guarantee, will be taken Up
at the source" he said. discussing the
second plan. "In ether words, u plan
that has been suggested is that the
farmer who brings his wheat to the ele-
vator shall be given a check for the full
guaranteed price indicated at his par
ticular station ard that check shall be
deposited at the bank, and at the bank
the proportionate part of 1t ~'hich
should be charged to the commercial
buyer shall be charged against the &C
count of the commercial buyer and tho
balance indicated by the then existing
world market shall he charged against
an account kept for that purpose by the
Government"
Representative Young OF Texas sug-
gested that the buyers might bear the
market and make the Government sad
die additional loss
There Is no chance OF battering
down the price" replied Mr.. Anderson,
because the settlement would be made
on the basis OF the price at the terminal.
where of course the ordinary commercial
machinery would be operating. so that
you would start the whole operation
from the speculative trade as well as the
cash trade in such a way that Iour
price would be fixed on the worlds basis,
Just as 1t would be IL no guaranty were
fixed at ALL"
