BARNES PLEDGES
PROPER ACTION BY
GRAIN EXCHANGES
Says Legislation Would
Be Likely to Harm
Trade Process.

\ julius H. Barnes, former United
States wheat director. opposed legis-
iation restricting trading on grain
exchanges yesterday before the SEN
ate committee on agriculture. Mr..
Rarnes expressed the belief that the
Tincher bill. as passed by the house
and pending before the senate com-
mittee, will harm rather than pro-
tect the grain producers.
Mr.. Barnes presented charts in an
effort to prove that fluctuations N
prices of grain have not worked en-
tirely to the disadvantage of the
farmer. He expressed the belief
that the millers and handlers of
wheat suffered more than the wheat
farmer in the decline of wheat
values during the past year.
For SeIf-Regulation.
Mr.. Barnes declared that IL no
leg egislation is enacted he believes
can be obtained through the action
of the exchanges themselves without
risking the disturbance which would
follow the injection of government
regulation unnecessarily into busi-
ness. He pledged himself to do his
Part toward creating public opinion
in the exchanges to accomplish
these ends.
"I believe the primary justihca-
tion for any legislative act to be
almost solely. that such legislation
is necessary to preserve tair play
and equal opportunity" said Mr..
Barnes. 'If the situation is such
that there is not a free and fair
play of natural economic forces.
then the strong hand of regulation
should restore the balance, but no &.

PRESIDENT PLANS
U. S. RELIEF FOR
sTAGeERINGRoADS
Urges Payment of War
Debt and Huge Credit
To Carriers.

To relieve the financial plight of
the railroads as a vital step in re-
viving business, President Harding
is considering the adoption of the
following policy Of government as
sistance:
l. Immediate payment to the
railroads of 100000. 900 due in COM
pensation from the period OF gov
ernment operation and payment as
fast as adjusted OF the railroad
under-maintenance and other
claims, the total remaining amount
which the government is obligated
to pay the railroads under these
heads being estimated at $780,
o0O. 900.
2. Funding of the railroads
$500, 900, 900 debt to the government
for capital expenditures into Is
year per cent obligations.
Deducting for Debts.
Under the present system of set
tlement the government is deduct
ing from the amounts it owes the
railroads the amounts the railroads
owe the government. Under the
policy the President ~ considering.
the government would proceed to
pay what it owes carriers and give
them 15 years to pay their debt to
the government.
The proposal was discussed at
the cabinet meeting yesterday. and
later at a luncheon to which II
President invited Senator Cummins,
chairman of the senate committee.
nd Ia q
C. Davis. director general of rail-
roads. Senator Cummins approved
the plan the President is consider
ing, but took issue with Mr.. Har-
ding's belief that freight rates
should be reduced Immediately.
At the White House il was stated
that there might be a communica-
ton from the President today on
the project he has in mind to aid
the carriers financially.
May Order Payment.
Senator Cummins said the gov
ernment acknowledges $500, 900. 900
of the railroads claims. and poin
ed out that President Harding had
authority to order the payment of
this amount. He expected one of
the principal railroads to institute
SUIT IN Ine court OIL Claims at an
early date for settlement of its
claims. which will form the basis
of the settlement of all the claims.
Everyone agrees" said Senator
Cummins, that the railroads must
be kept running. 1t is all very
well to talk of rate reductions.
But rates cannot be reduced at
this time. They cannot be reduced
until the cost of operation comes
down. There are some hopeful
signs in that direction. but when
we propose to cut rates, we must
be prepared to face deficit of
s60o.00o.o00 to $1,000. 600. 900. which
the government would have to pay
under the present conditions. We
don't want to force the roads back
into government operation. be-
cause that probably would cost the
government from $1,000, ,o00.0o0 to
$4,000. 100000 annually"

senate the question of financing
