PRESIDENT WILSON TO
PROBE GRAIN MARKETS
u. S. Chief Executive Asks Governor
of Kansas to Furnish Evidence
of Cheating.

Washington, Oct. 16-President Will
son has requested Governor Allen of
Kansas to forward to the federal trade
commission any information he has
tending to indicate that the recent
decline in wheat prices was due to
unfair practices or competition, or to
other artificial causes.
A letter to this effect sent by Secre-
tary Tumulty was in answer to many
appeals for government action looking
to an embargo on Canadian wheat.
These were referred some time ago
to the commission and the Department
of Agriculture.
Mr.. Tumulty'sI letter to Governor
Allen said:
"The President has received your
telegram of October 6 with reference
to the wheat situation, and has re-
ceived number of others of similar
tenor.
He fully recognizes the importance
of the question you raise, and he has,
therefore, requested the federal trade
commission and the Department OF
Agriculture to look into the matter
at the earliest possible moment, with
view to determine what, If anything,
can properly be done.
I'm the meantime he will appreciate
it if you will be good enough to for
ward to the federal trade commission
any information in your possession.
which. in your opinion, tends to indi-
cate that the recent decline in wheat
prices is due to unfair practices or
competition, or to other artificial
causes"
Although the agricultural confer
ence, held here for the purpose of OBJ
tanning more liberal credits for farm
ers, had concluded its sessions, COM
mittee remained in Washington await
ing announcement of the future credit
policy of the federal reserve banks.
