GERMANY CRIES
FOR DICTATOR TO
STABILIZE PRICES
What People Want Is Food
Not Worried Over Hohen-
ZoIIern Crown,
BY CARL D. GROAT
1923 hu Tinted pTeSSl

BERLIN, Nov. 2O-Germany is
crying for a dictator.
The question of putting the Ho-
henzoIlerns or any other royal fam
lily on a German throne worries peo-
pie outside of Germany more than
it. does Germans themselves.
What the Germans want is food.
They think they may get it if a die
tatorship is established.
This is the situation as seen today.
With meat costing more than a dol.
lar a pound and bread and potatoes
proportionately high and scarcely OBJ
tainable at any price. the average
German only wants a strong central
government which will bring prices
under control, stabilize the currency
and get work re-started.
Despite the return of Crown Prince
Frederick Wilhelm and the readiness
of Prince Rupprecht TO ascend to at
least Bavarian throne. the mon
archists have not found a really de-
sirable candidate TO rally around.
II monarchists used arms. they
would be met by arms, it has been
said
Labor Wants Republic
The labor organizations have fire.
quently let II be known they would
use all of their weapons against any
attempt TO overthrow the republic.
Their general strike, it will be remem-
bered, defeated the famous Kapp
putsch in March. 1920.
The socialists and democrats have
recently offered TO form hundreds"
under arms to defend the republic if
necessary.
If the republic collapses and goes
into the hands OF a dictator now. it
is believed the dictatorship. like the
monarchist regime that might possi.
bly, follow in its wake. would not last
long.
It would be too strongly opposed by
labor, it is said.
Would Turn to Monarchy
The principal objectives of reaction
ary regime, or dictatorship in Ger
many today, are not so much restora-
tion Of the monarchy as restoration Of
pre-war conditions OF labor. The in
dustrialists are calling for a en-hOur
or tweIve-hour day and they would
only turn to a monarchy to solidify
any gains they made in this direction
and If a suitable candidate appeared
at the right moment.
It is generally believed this winter
would be the crucial test for the re
public-unless unheard Of horrors lie
beyond The attempt to establish a
reactionary regime is generally expect
ed this winter. 1t is thought a nation
wide attempt at Communism may pre-
cede It, and give the reactionariss their
excuse.

FARMER WHEAT
PLAN GIVEN
CONGRESS
Senator McNary Has Bill Draft
ed-CaIIs for Purchases
BY U. S.
By WILLIAM HARD.

The wheat question and the poll
teal future of the entire Northwest
in the election Of 1924 struck Wash
tngton full in the face today when
representatives of the American
Wheat Growers, Incorporated" with
authority from the wheat farmers
of nine states, appeared on Capitol
Hill bearing with them their Off
ciaI proposed legislation for the re-
lief of their members and of wheat
farmers in general.
This legislation is in harmony
with the wheat export plan pro-
Wallace. 1t was taken to the office
Of Senator McNary of Oregon, who
sent it to the Senatorial legislative
drafting room to be put into proper
and final legislative form. 1t is the
first definite wheat relief bill which
has come to Washington with any
really powerful organized backing
in the Northwest.
More to Check Democrats.
Politicians here are for the most
part thoroughly agreed that from
the standpoint of the Republican
Party a display of activity in the
matter of wheat is necessary in the
Northwest in order to keep the
Northwestern States Republican in
the next election at time when
the Democrats have so recently
shown their power to carry the
doubtful and influential states of
New York and New Jersey and In
diana in the region east Of the Mis-
eissippi.
II next year, as last year, the
Democrats should be able to win
victories in the solid South plus
the border states, plus New York
and New Jersey and Indiana, they
would need only two or three other
majority in the electoral college
and in order accordingly to elect a
President.
1t becomes necessary, accordingly,
from the Republican standpoint. in
view of possible Democratic vic
tories in the region east of the
Mississippi, to try to make sure of
q clean Republican sweep beyond
the Mississippi in the Central West
and the Northwest.
The States represented in the
American Wheat Growers, Incorpo-
porated," which today presented
its Legislative ideas to Senator Nc
Nary and other Senators and Con-
gresSmen, are Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Oregan,
and Washington.
Points in Relief Plan.
All the wheat sold comparatively
In those nine States is sold by the
American Wheat Growers, Incirpo-
rated" according to a statement
made here today by its general
manager, George C. Jewett
This wheat amounts to some
thirty million bushels. Some ten
million additional bushels of wheat
are sold comparatively, according
60 Jewett, through other co-opera-
