Some men envelop themselves In
such an impenetrable cloak of silence
that the tongue will afford US no
symptoms of the mind. Such tact
turnity, indeed, is wise if they are
fools, but foolish if they are wise !:
and the only method to form judg-

WHEAT MONOPOLY
BY GOVERNMENTS
TO Be CONTINUED
tBy The Associated Press.)

PARIS, June 4.-All important world
governments, excepting Argentina, have
guaranteed wheat prices to farmers and all
European governments having subsidized
the bread supply, it is considered probable
here that commerce in wheat will remain
in government hands next year and there
will be little private trading. American
peace delegates believe, however, there will
be no necessity to continue centralized
control of European distribution because
theer will be no food shortage after the
next harvest The last food ship TO leave
America will be late in June.
Herbert Hoover contends that normal
trading should be re-establshed throughout
the world as no guarantees exist for other
commodities, and if attempts are made to
control the prices of other commodities
production will be stifled and shortage
created. .--=------------. 4-....-.
