Gated Of the most unfair charge ever
brought against an industry" John

last night in commenting on the Fed

operations of grain exporters. made
public yesterday.
The commission. he declared, had
found that the price slump from July.

to speculation or manipulation. but
TO other factors, including supply and
demand
''In view of the commissions con-
inquiry" Mr.. Mauff's statement said,
at seems pertinent to ask why the
commission should suggest new re-
strictions for the already overburden
ed exchanges"
Joseph p Griffin. former president
of the board of trade, suggested that
the board of trade cease functioning
for a period of sixty or ninety days
beginning September /.
The plan should receive the ap-
prONal OF senators Capper. BTOOh-
hart, Magnus Johnson and other ce-
1ebrities who al the moment are at
tempting to capitalize discomfort and
unhappiness among the farmers.
1t is only fair for me to issue
warning. however, that such an OBJ
jcct lesson. in my opinion. would be
diSa strouS, and farm products, with
exchange operations suspended, would
only find a market by making a door
to-door canvas in the manner fol-
lowed by the vendor of patent medi-
cines or sewing machines. On the
, other hand. it probably would for all
Slime protect the producer against
