banding their short supplies and not
buying American wheat until they
have to. Before they have eaten up
their short supplies, Australia and the
Argentine and other wheat growing
regions in the southern hemisphere
have harvested a bumper crop and
have an eXportable surplus more than
sufficient to meet Europe's needs.
Under normal conditions there
would be importations of wheat into
The United States to break the arti
icially maintained American price,
out under the Haugen law the Presi-
lent would declare an embargo. and
he American people would eat their
81 wheat, while the rest of the world
had wheat at 81, and in addition
would go into their pockets to make
lp the losses on the 800 100000 bush
els held in storage.
The one person who would not Suf-
FER directly as a result of this condi-
lion would be the wheat grower. On
he contrary. 81 wheat would look so
good to him that next year he would
argely increase his acreage. produC-
ing still larger surplus to add to the
surplus carried over from the year

What Might Happen.

An analysis of section IS, in con-
nection with other provisions of the
bill, leads to the conclusion that
something like this might happen:
Conditions are unusually favorable
in this country for wheat, and the
Summer harveGt shows that the
United States will have an eXportable
surplus of 800, 900 900 bushels. At the
same time conditions in Canada, in
France, in Hungary and Rumania
and other producing regions in the
shortage. The Federal Farm Board
decides that 81 bushel will be a
'fair and reasonable price for
American wheat and advances the
money to buy up the surplus at that
figure. In the meantime, Europe and
other wheat importing areas are hus-

SPECIAL SESSION
LOOMS IN FRANCE
Parliament May Be Recon-
vened to Approve Debt
Agreement at Once.

BY Gable to The Star and New York World.
PARIS. May 1.-The French Parlia-
ment may be specially summoned to
ratify the Washington debt settle
ment. The intimation from Washing
ton that French ratification must
come first, and before May Is, if rati-
tication by the United States is not
to be delayed until the next Congress.
has raised the question of whether the
French Parliament. although just re-
lieved of long months of duty with
many night sessions, should not. be
recalled to give it's sanction to the
debt accord.
The government would like rapid
ratification to get whatever advantage
may be had from the settlement as
soon as possible and while the tone
of public opinion is favorable. The
public is not enthusiastic. but neither
is 1t in a rebellious mood.
1t is believed that Ambassador
Berenger got the best settlement pos.
sible, and while it is commented that
France is expected to pay four times
as much as Italy, though the French
debt is only double Italy's. the SINH
ldTlty Oh tne terms WIN lnOSe OF tne
Belgian agreement makes the public
realize that nothing better is to be
expected.
Ratification, however, entails a vote
of confidence. which is sure to bring
out all the hostility to the present
government. 1t might even result in
refusal to ratify the settlement as a
means of upsetting BRAND. The gov
ernment, which has lived under this
constant menace while Parliament
was sitting, has three months before
it without the constant necessity of
explaining TO the Chamber. and is
therefore loath to resummon this
menace.

THREE-YEAR-OLDL LEONARD KOTZ
is EXPERT AT STARTING TRUCKS

About How Drivers

Parked Car Halts Him
on Tour, Suffering

Leonard kotZ, who lives above his
fathers delicatessen store at 1850 G

old ideas.
Members of his immediate family
and possibly the neighbOrS and certain
drivers of trucks are predicting big
things for Leonard when he grows

around a race track. But maybe he'll
only be chauffeur.

of some sort. Yesterday for instance,

electric truck. stopped his machine
outside the delicateSsen store. little

light, mountsd the high drivers seat,
pushed lever here and pulled one
there. and the first thing he knew he

start trucks.
The business of guiding and stop
ping them will come later. perhaps.
but yesterday Leonard left such things
to the truck The truck Obeying to
the letter the rule of keeping to the
right of the road. went so far over
that it hit a parked touring car and
came to a sudden halt, much to the
discomfort of the touring car.
Leonard dismounted and went away
from there after going through the
troublesome details of having to ex-
plain everything to the truck driver,
policemen. and what have you.
Leonard has had some practice be-
fore. He is reported only last week
to have succeeded in starting another
electric truck. which was stopped be.

Senator Edge asserts the national pro-
-hibition act cannot be enforced yet pre-
sents an amendment to the Volstead law
which would make the act less enforce
able. The fact is, the law is too we'll
enforced to suit the vets, and hence their
many schemes to cripple it.
There is no agreement on what con-
stitutes intoxication, since no two per-
sons are affected alike by alcoholic
drinks. No prohibitory law could be sue
cessfully enforced if Senator Edges pro-
posal passed, making it necessary that the
government prove in each case that the
liquor in question was Intoxicating in fact
to the person who used it.
THE bootleggers would easily circum-
vent the courts decisions that whisky,
beer, wine and well-known beverages are
Intoxicating by mixing drinks, making
new proof of Intoxicating quality neces-
sary for every case. Such standard
would leave dealers uncertain as to the
legality of their sales, which would de-
pend upon the alcoholic capacity of any
customer.

The statement was signed by Bishop

mo LIMIT BEER" IS EDGE PLEA
New Jersey Senator Wants Alec
holic Content Limit Taken Off;
Make Intoxicating in Fact"

Bills designed to weaken the Volstead
law or repeal it, and thereby nullifye the
Eighteenth Amendment, continue to pour
into Congress.
On February IS Senator Edge, of New
Jersey, introduced measure proposing
to eliminate the present limit of one-half
of one per cent on the alcoholic content
of beverages and to authorize the manu-
facture of malt beverages up to the point
where they are Intoxicating in fact
Senator Edge explained that this meas
ure is substitute for his former bill, in
troduced the opening day of the session,
which would have increased the limit of
alcoholic content from one-half of one per
cent to 2.75 per cent He explained that
the change is made because of recent
rulings in the courts, that by the terms
of the Volstead act itself grape juice and
cider are permitted to be manufactured
for home consumption up to the point
where they are Intoxicating in fact.
In commenting upon this measure Cen

Anti-Saloon League, said: The Eight
