RISE IS DUE TO
WAR MOVES
90 Per Cent of Wheat
in the Hands of
Spectators

Yesterdays New York Evening
Sun published dispatch from Chi
cago further showing the connec-
tion between the rise in wheat and
the war moves of the imperialists
in Manchuria. The article bore the
caption:

The dispatch states that the
prices on corn, rye and oats have
also shown a rise.
Another wave OF heavy specua-
tive buying has set In.
Further proof that the war plots of
the imperialists against the Chinese
masses and the Soviet Union are
behind the rise in the prices of wheat
and silver is revealed in statement
by B. G. Forbes in the financial
column of yesterdays New York AM
erican that war threats have been
a factor in the rise In prices. Forbes
states:

Widespread speculation In wheat
continues, based on the knowledge Of
the spectators and the Farm Board,
with whom the principal spectators
have admittedly been cooperating,
that the war against the Soviet Union
