ROW OVER BREAD
PRICE RISE MARKS
PROBE BY A. A. A.
President Stude of Bakers
Says Tax Justifies Greater
Increase.
CHARGES WALLACE
"BARRAGE" USUAL STEP
Secretary Points to Fact Process.
ing Levy, Blamed by Bakers,
Began Two Years Ago.

While the study launched by the
Agriculture Adjustment Administra-
tion into the bread price boosts here
is being pushed, difference Of opin-
ion over the cause for the 1-cent
advance to 10 cents per pound loaf
has developed between Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace and Henry Stude,
president Of the American Bakers
Association.
In Chicago yesterday, Stude, reply
ing to a statement by Wallace that
the boost was uncalled for. told the
general increase, but that it would
be justified.
THE facts are" he said, that II
the price of bread was in keeping with
the increasing cost produced by New
Deal efforts, including the processing
tax, it would be l cent higher.
Usual Barrage" Set Up.
"The consumer, growing more and
more resentful of the increase in cost
of living, is learning what the cause
is and where to lodge the protest.
and in an effort to keep further con-
sumer attacks of of his doorstep, the
Secretary has set up the usual bar
rage about the price of bread
THE fact is that bakers have leaned
over backwards to help the New Deal
and now the backs of many of them
are breaking and We see by the papers
that as a matter of self-preservation
they have adjusted prices in some
markets which were obviously out OF
line"
Wallace countered to this with the
statement that there had been no
change in the wheat processing tax for
more than two years.
He said the A. A. A. and the bakers
had clashed previously concerning pro-
cessing taxes and bread prices, adding:
The processing tax on wheat today
is 80 cents a bushel, about ~ cent Q
loaf. or the same as it has been for
the last two years and three months.
Rise Previously Protested.
1.-TWO years ago, in July, 1888. when
the processing tax first went into
effect. a good many bakers attempted
to increase the price of bread several
cents loaf. We protested in public
letter to one of the bakers that their
contemplated increases were out Of
line with their increased costs.
THE actual increase in July over
June, 1888, finally averaged Six-tenths
of a cent for the country as a whole"
This increase was the one Wallace
said the bakers had excused on
grounds of the processing tax.
The inquiry on the price advance is
being directed by Donald Montgomery,
consumers counsel of the A. A. A.,
who said he expected to be able to
make a statement on the matter to-
morrow.
This survey is taking up prices in
the 81 principal cities used by the
Labor Departments Bureau of Labor
Statistics in determining living costs.

j. s. NEUTRALITY
TOPIC AT SESSION
Council for Prevention of
War Discusses Recon-
mendationS.

Discussions over whether to favor
a policy of mandatory neutrality for
the United States or approve policy
which would have this country help
the League of Nations in suppressing
war between other nations, marked a
closed session today of the National
Council for the Prevention of War,
meeting at the Lee House.
The discussions were opened on
submission of a report on embargo
legislation" for the exercise of So
called sanctions, prepared by special
committee, headed by Richard Wood,
executive secretary of the American
Friends Service Committee. A vote
on the report may be held at the final
session this afternoon.
Recommendation Made.
The committees report makes rec
concentrations for the enactment OF
legislation providing the following, be-
fore present law expires:
/. Embargo, as to the parties to
an armed conflict, of arms and NUM-
tions of war, of loans and credits and
of such secondary munitions as min
erals. oil and cotton; also provision for
embargo on imports from such bel
ligerents.
2. Provision that, during periods
of armed conflict, shipments of goods
not otherwise prohibited shall be
made at the shippers risk, and that
the United States citizens travelling
abroad shall do so at their own risk"
The recommendation are preceded
by the statement that the committee
is convinced that the present neu-
trality legislation, by permitting loans
to belligerents and trade in such ma
terials as minerals, oil and cotton and
by permitting the transit of supplies
to belligerents through neutral coun-
tries does not adequately safeguard
the United States against the perils
of involvement In war or in contro-
versy with nations engaged in impos-
ing sanctions under the League cove
nant."
Defense Plan Up.
Nevin Sayre, director Of Fellowship
and Reconciliation for Neutrality, led
the discussion against adoption of the
committees report, it was said by a
council spokesman.
Another question to be considered at
the afternoon session is whether to
support proposal for the reorganiza-
ton Of the Army and Navy into one
department Of defense to conform with
the principles Of the Paris pact. The
question was discussed before the
council yesterday by former Repre-
sentative Jeannette Rankin of Mon
tana.
The council sessionsswill close late
today following the election Of several
board members.
