mers on t quality
u. S. MAY USE
LICENSE POWER

NEW YORK. April 23.-Julius H.
Barnes, newly appointed United States
Wheat Director. announced yesterday
That In case Of world wheat surplus
domestic consumers should not be
compelled TO pay more for wheat than
prices concurrently accepted from for
elsh buyers. He said the Government
must stand the difference between the
ilNed price OF 81 26 per bushel gllaran-
teeds to the farmer and the world price
II the latter price falls below tbe Cow
ernment price.
me wheat director cites these three
Just and right fundamentals as a
Dasls Tor dealing with a national guar
anteed price Of wheat:
FIRST: The guaranty is clearly In.
Tended Tor the benefit OF the producer
and the license power may be used 10
e0htrol trade practices so as to assure
he proper reflection Of the guaranteed
price reaching all producers.
Second: In the event OF surplus
wheat production, domestic consumers
snail not pay more for wheat than
prices concurrently accepted from for
eign buyers.
Third: The national Treasury
should be protectd by the realization
OF world price, as far as 10 can be de-
termined, and any governmental policy
OF artllcially subsidlzing Is unsound."
rive ravaging years have created a
world food position unparalleled" Mr..
Barnes said. 1t cannot be remedied at
once. We cannot build a wall around
our own fortunate country and refuse
TO share our plenty with the unfortu-
mates Of Europe.
The community shop. the whole
saler, the railroads that distribute and
the banks that facilitate payments are
gone or disorganized in the war areas.
Trade revives slowly. and whether we
would OF not Government aid must be
extended until trade can walk upright
again. IL would be well for America
10 have a full appreclat on OF this.
The wheat crop Of i9is-the second
largest in our history-is consumed or
pledged Fortunately, outside OF the
dlrest weather conditions. America may
confidently expect In 1919 the largest [
wheat crop ever grown.
Congress has made effective a ma
tonal guaranteed price OF wheat. In |
redeeming that guaranty 10 the pro- !
ducer, we shall undoubtedly acquire /
large quantities OF wheat. It's resale
