WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Extension to
cover the marketing Of the 1920 wheat
crop Of most of the provisions of the
food control act has been virtually de-
cded upon by the House Committee on
Agriculture and will be embodied in q
bill to be introduced in the next few
days.
The measure will appropriate re-
volving fund Of $1,000, 100000 to be
used by the President or such agency
as he may name, in whole or in part.
to make good the guaranty OF s2.26
a bushel for wheat of the 1918 and
1919 crops. The machinery by which
this is to be accomplished will be left
entirely to the discretion of the Presi-
dent, though he will be restricted spe-
cifically to wheat and wheat products
In the exercise of the powers extended.
The policy adopted represents a COM
promise between the demands OF the
Administration for continuation OF all
the powers contained in the food and
fuel control acts. with additional powers
with respect to leasing. purchasing and
building of elevators and warehouses,
and the demand of the grain dealers
that the Government make good the
guaranty to the farmers at its source
and permit the grain to follow normal
channels of trade from that point.
The license powers contained in the
food control act are extended in so far
as they apply to wheat and wheat
products only, and this restriction In
cludes export and import provisions. No
authority Is given for the control Of
grain elevators or warehouses.

WASHINGTON Feb. 6.-After many

enue bill the conference committee of
the Senate and House to-day finally
made public the result Of their efforts
to adjust the wide differences in
theories of the two branches Of Con-
gress. Despite the fact that William

Treasury. urgently appealed for a COM
pleted bill before the last Liberty Loan

House accept without serious cavil or
questioning the agreement on the
measure reached by the conferees, the
measure cannot pass the present Con-

Even the bitterest opponents OF
some Of the taxes included in the bill
are now so anxious to get some sort OF

are willing TO shut their eyes and vote
