Federal Grain Corporation

If Congress Refuses Loan.
HOUSEWIVES REFUSE
TO USE SOFT WHEAT
Peculiar Crop Yield Reason
Given by Julius Barnes for
Present High Prices-Says
Soft Wheat Cheapest.

Washington, March 5!-Five mil
lion barrels of Federal Grain
corporation soft wheat -four will Be
sold on credit in Europe soon unless
congress authorizes $s0,0O0oOO loans
to finance the sales, Julius Barnes,
head of the corporation, told the
house rules committee today. He
said he now has authority to make
the sales on credit, but hoped the
loans would be authorized.
The -four, now held at American
ports and for which the corporation
asks $l0.75 barrel, is "the cheapest
in the world" Mr.. Barnes told the
committee. He added that every
effort had been exhausted to sell it
for cash." but that American house
wives would pay higher prices for
hard wheat flour.
Crop Yield Peculiar.
"Why are prices of -four going
up?" asked Representative Fess, re-
publican, Ohio.
The last year crop yield was a
peculiar one," answered Mr.. Barnes.
There was a small yield of the
strong wheat and big yield of the
soft wheat. Flour made of the soft
wheat could be obtained for do
mestic use at all times at the exact
reflection of the government guar
anteed price of wheat.
THE pressure for different kind
of -four by the housewives led the
millers to bid up the prices and in
North Dakota in FIVE months the
hard wheat price was increased 90
cents a bushel above the guaran-

Denies Spokane Charges.
Charges of the Spokane, WASH,
grand jury alleging wheat price ma

said he had asked the Department of
Justice to make thorough inquiry.

Europe Discussing Part Taken

Copyright. 1890.
Paris, March 5.-Mme. Europe,
who originated the formula
'cherchez Ia femme" in seeking a So
luton of all problems diplomatic,
otherwise is holding up her hands
in righteous indignation at the ex-
pressed fear that American women
have either an interest or influence
concerning international affairs.
French diplomatic circles are buzz
zing with the name "Mme. Wilson,"
Gossips of the embassies referred to
the receipt in Paris recently of long
reports from Ambassador to the
United States Jusserand, outlining
what is called his "undignifed treat
ment in Washington"
Discusses Treaty Problems.
The Jusserand report is rumored
to relate to detailed circumstanc
of the ambassadors efforts to see
President Wilson for a discussion
Of reservation to the treaty and
his ultimate achievement in seeing
only Mrs. Wilson, who discussed at
length with him the subject of Amer
ican reservations to the treaty. /
In London the diplomatic circles
emit no end Of gossip concerning
the "Craufurd case" Embassy chat
ter in the English capital explains
the affair as emanating from remarks
foolishly repeated at private din
ner by Nal. Stuart Craufurd con-
cerning exchanges of calls between
the president and Mrs. Wilson and
the German embassy in Washington
under Bernstorff's reign.
London believes these remarks,
reaching Mrs. Wilson, resulted in a
demand for the recall of Major
Stuart. Upon Lord Grey's investi-
cation Major Stuart vehemently de-
MED the remarks attributed to him
and is said to have produced writ
ten denial of the alleged conversa-
ton from his woman dinner table
partner with whom he is alleged to
have talked.
