WOULD STOPFUTUR
TRADING IN WHEAT
Federal Trade Commission Says
President Has Power Under
Lever Act.
Ry Associated Press to Every vyniug.

Washington, Dec. 20-The president
IS without power under existing law ito
shut out wheat imports but he 'appar-
emily has certain powers under the Lever
act to stop future trading in wheat, the
Federal trade Commission says in a
special report to President Wilson made
public today at the White House.
The commission saws that while evi-
dence is not available that future trading
is responsible for the decline in wheat
prices, it does not appear that future trad
ing IN wheat as at present operating is OF
indisputable service to the grain trade.
Ii suggests that legislation mot connected
with war powers be enacted.
The commission tells the President that
because of the failure of the Chicago
Board of Trade to cooperate it was un-
able to obtain necessary information as TO
whether there had been large transactions
in wheat futures of a manipulative char
scter.
The investigation of the wheat situation
was requested by the President after
Governor Allen, of Kansas, and others
had urged him to bar Canadian wheat
impOrtatlOns.
Declaring the decline of wheat prices
should appear to be in part due to coun-
try vide and worldwide conditions. the
commission assigns seven specific causes
The outlook for an increased world
supply; concentrated buying by foreign
governments last spring and slack pur-
chases later; unprecedented importa
tions from Canada following ''an unpre-
cedented WELD and discount in rate of
exchange" the record breaking yield of
corn in this country; the slackening of de-
mand for flour; the general tendency to
y. nd th.x
change in credit conditions.
Future contracts NAV have legitimate
use for hedging, the commission SAYS.
In this connection il is claimed that future
trading performs an insurance function
where ordinary insurance methods would
not be practI cable and that undue re-
stTIetlon of future trading such as would
deprive the grain trade of this service
might result in grain dealers requiring
larger margins and consequently result
either In lower prices to the farmer or
higher prices to the consumer.
Washington, Dec 20.-Chajrman Ford
new of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee had ready for submission 70 the
House today the FOrdney emergency tariff
agreement on which was reached by his
committee Saturday Action on the meas
ure which would put virtual embargo
tariff on a score Of farm products will be
asked for Tuesday or Wednesday at the
latest in order to pass the measure il pos

Opposition. however, was developing
today on several sides. Representatives
from the manufacturing districts expressed
dissatisfaction with the bill as framed
because i did not include enough manu-
factured articles while other members
asserted that enactment Of such legisla-
tion would result in an increase in the
