Cooperative marketing and ready
adjustment of acreage to conditions
OF world production were recommend
ed as promising the only permanent
solution Of the wheat problem in a
report submitted to President Cool

investigators, who recently toured
the wheat areas at his request.
Urging the necessity of maintain
ing "a thoroughly rational attitude"
in dealing with the problem. the re-
port, submitted by Directors Eugene
Meyer jr., and Frank w. Mondell and
published today, discussed numerous
other proposals presented during their
study, but which they found gener-
ally either unsound or to offer no per-
manent solution.
The proposals advanced in the re-
port already have been discussed py
the two officials with Mr.. Coolidge
and may form the basis of definite
administration policy on the question
"Co-operative marketing assocla-
tions, organized along sound lines
and with competent management and
"offer at the present time, in our
opinion, more promise OF helptui re
suits than any other plan or program
that has been suggested. Ihey can
do what the speculator cannot with
safety, be relied upon to do. IheE
can, by orderly marketing, regulate
the flow of wheat so that supply is
adjusted from time to time to con-
sumptive demand.
Says Producers Must Organize.
with the changed conditions in
Europe, with the European dealers
and millers carrying only small
percentage of their normal pre-war
stocks, and with the speculator un-
able or unwilling to carry wheat In
sufficient volume, the producer must
organize to carry 1t himself"
Added to this conclusion was .as,na, the
ment of production to American
needs II the world market is over
supplied"
