LET MR.. HULL SHOW US.

The amazing chairman OF the Demo
cratic national committee, Cordell
Hull, OF Tennessee. has a new thought.
1t is this: The establishment OF Eur
opean markets for the disposal OF Bur.
plus foodstuffs is one OF the principal
needs OF the American farmer.
My, what head man must have
10 think OF such thing as that
But why does not Mr.. Hull show us,
instead OF just telling us? There are
a good many hungry people in Europe
now. particularly in Germany. Un.
questionably they would be very glad
to buy and eat the surplus food pro-
ducts of the United States. There are
no restrictions on expectation and
there is an extraordinary number of
ships looking for cargoes. Mr.. Hull
may not be a capitalist, but supposed.
ly he could get hold of little money
say $1,000. For $1,000 he could buy
approximately l 1000 bushels of wheat
in the United States. Once landed in
Germany he could sell that wheat for
about 10000 900. 900 marks. Think OF
81 With an investment OF only $1,000
he would become a multibillionaire, in
German marks. Why doen't he do it7
Surely he would not recommend the
American farmer to try a business en-.

himself-Buffalo Express
