GUARD EXPORTS,
BARUCH ADVISES
Industries Should Control
Market.

NEW YORK June 14.-American farm
ers and business men should organize at
once under the Webb Kenyon act to con-
troll exports of their commodities Bern
ard M. Baruch declared in an exclusive
Interview today just before sailing for
Europe.
Baruch said that this was the only
means by which they could insure a fair
price return on their investments and
labor.
"The price of grain and cotton is now
made in Liverpool not America" he said.
The hnancier explained that prices on
these commodities are determined by the
levels for American surplus which is sold
largely through the Liverpool market
This condition is reflected In some degree
IN other exports he said.
"This situation is no discredit to the
British" he said. Under present con-
ditions it is perfectly natural and legit-
innate. And, too, the British have al
ways been good merchants"
Baruch insisted that his trip to Europe
is intended solely TO renew friendships
with foreign officials which grew out OF
his craftsmanship of the war industry
board.
