End Of Government Wheat Piedue
Might Mean Slump, Grain
Chief Says.
MENACE TO FARMERS
Would Be Direct Reputation Of Prom.
Ice Made BY Congress to Produo.
ers Of Wheat for Crop OF
g. 1919.

New York.-Julius H. Barnes, Uni.
ted States wheat director, has made
public a letter to Senator Gronna in
which he terms the latter's bill for the
repeal of the wheat guarantee act and
the abolition of the grain corporation
a. direct reputation Of the pledge
made by Congress to the wheat pro-
ducers for the crop of 1919.
Senator Gronna's bill, which has
been favorably reported by the Senate
-r1cultural committee, repeats all
government control over the price of
wheat and requires the grain corpora
ton to wind up its affairs without de-
lay.
Mr.. Barnes asserts that at time
when no one can accurately predict
the trend of prices, Senator Gronna
apparently feels such confidence In his
own judgment that the farmer will
benefit by the withdrawal of govern
ment sterilization that he would i'm
mediately take from the wheat produc-
or the protection Of the billion dollar
guarantee, which Congress has pledg-
ed itself to give until June I.
The wheat director gives warning
that by abolishing government support
Congress may precipitate still fur.
fher decline in the prices of wheat,
even below that of the guarantee
price. He adds that "only the most
colossal egotism would presume to
forecast the course of price in the
face Of the worldwide settlement,
which within the last few days has
wrecked the United States export
trade by total collapse of overseas
finance" ...~
II Congress should repudiate it's own
pledge to the farmer Mr.. Barnes adds,
the possibilities Of depreciation in val
ne after the withdrawal of the govern
ment guarantee are such that 6,0OO,-
900 farmers will ask Congress "by
what right it repudiated the pledged
national guarantee, on the underlying
Foundation of which the influence of
supply and demand had built an aver
age premium Of 30 cents bushel."
