PRICE GUARANTEE
TO COST NOTHING
Federal Wheat Director Barnes
Believes That National Treas
ury viii Not Lose.

New York.-Officers of the
food administration grain corpo-
ration announce their conviction,
at the close Of a recent confer
ence to determine policies for the
coming year, that the govern
ment price guarantee to wheat
growers could be made effective
without endangering the market
or causing loss to the national
treasury.
julius H. Barnes. president of
the corporation and federal wheat
director. declared that crop indi-
cations were that wheat would be
traded in on the government
fair price basis. It will be pos
sible, he added, that the market
generally might be above the
fixed price schedule. in which
event the wheat director would
not be an influence in trading,
as congress adopted no maximum
price policy.
In case crop exceeding the de-
mand required government pur-
chases and resales In order to
make good the difference between
the market price and the farmers
guarantee, Mr.. Barnes said the
conference recognized the neces-
sity of measures to insure re-
