HOOVER

The Producers News is not much concerned with
capitalist candidates for the presidency whose
names are now before the people Whoever wins
the nomination and election the people are bound
to lose.
But it is well to discuss the candidates and in
quire into their past.
Mr.. Herbert Hoover is the outstanding re-
publican candidate Soon after President Cool
idge informed the Republican National Committee
that he would not be available as a candidate on
that party ticket in 1925 Mr.. Hoover got, his army
of press agents busy in Washington The Wash
ingtOn correspondents put over a barrage of publ
city in favor of the Secretary of Commerce that
impressed the country and put the candidacy of
Hoover far in the lead of republican presidential
possibilities
Evidently Mr.. Hoover learned a few things
about propaganda and its power while he lived in
England and communed with the clever gentlemen
of Downing street.
On looking into the support of Mr.. Hoover we
IND that 1t comes from the industrial east. From
the same section and the same parties comes the
strongest opposition to the McNary- Haugen Bill
Looking up the public records we find that Mr.
Hoover was living in London in the early part of
the war. When the allies felt that thew would
have to save on the prices of imported foodstuffs
so that they could have more to spend on bullets
intended for German soldiers, we find Mr. Hoover
coming to the United States. According to DR..
ID. Garfield, Mr.. Hoover approached President Will
son and urged upon him the advisability of con-
trolling the price of wheat Later we find him ap-
pearlng before the Senate Committee of Agricul-
ture and according to evidence found on pages ten
and eleven of the report of that committee for
June 10, 1927, we find speech of Mr.. Hoover
showing how food control has reduced the price of
bread in Europe and urging the institution of the
same system in this country
The system was instituted and Mr.. Hoover was
put in charge.
The result No. hard wheat which brought
$2.75 per bushel in 1927 before Mr.. Hoover's COM
mittee fixed the price was sold in the same neigh
borhood for $1.85. One national farm organization
commenting on this states:
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1928-02-17

While Mr. Hoover was Food Administrator and
ne succeeded in forcing the farmers to take a
minimum price for their products he allowed the
milling interests to charge an excessive price for
Flour and its byproducts. He did not interfere
with the profits of the machinery trust
The above is only slight glimpse into the past
record of Mr.. Hoover and that only insofar as it
affects his relations with the farmers In these
days when the Ballyhoo artists are busy at their
propaganda mills it is timely to inject a few
sparks of truth

"That when organized farmers sent rep
resentative to Washington, D. c., in Feb
ruary, 1913, in an effort to get the Presi-
dent of the United States to increase the
price set in the Food Bill for 1918 crop of
$500 to the 1920, that the wheat pricing
committee had placed on the 1917 CROP Mr..
Hoover stated that he would not consent
to such an arrangement for the reason
that ne had made all his arrangements
with the Allies based on the $500 price.
The farm organizations forced the 1920
price by putting bill through Congress
that named $2.4O as the price of the 1918
crop. Mr.. Hoover fought this bill all the
way through and President Wilson vetoed
it, but by proclamation did give us the

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Though
the dizzy pace set by a few Of the
high priced Industrial stocks showed
no evidence of a let.up at the start
OF the half.session Of the market
today. there was much wagging of
the heads in Wall Street and be.
lief that the market was travelling
much too fast for its own comfort.
After the opening rush, which
pushed prices still higher, the sell
ing wave started to roll in and
prices were swept downward.
Radio Up
Radio Corporations new jump to
5000 a share electrified the finan-
cial district, because 1t saw in this
sensational advance OF the stock
the proof of the gigantic conbina-
tions of wire and wireless enter
prises under the lead OF the radio
concern. American Telephone and
Telegraph, Western Union and other
well-known companies are under
stood to be in the combination.
Stock sales crossed million
shares on the tape in the first As
minutes, with the tape sputtering
only IS minutes behind the market.
Bethlehem Steel brushed aside all
opposition In its new jump to SIN,
up points. Bessie will go on
a. cash dividend basis before the
end of the year, according to the
best-informed Wall Street oracles.
Nothing very enthusiastic about
the weekend business reports, which
promised that the country would
not suffer by comparison with last
years reports in the steel, motor
car and other industries. This is
not so important as the swollen
money bags Of American investors
and big corporations, which are
swapping gold as fast as they can
for stocks Of live, money-making
concerns,
