may it be inferred that members
of the Labor Board reveal their
conscious or unconscious bias in the
matter of employer employe rela-
tons by their public utterances.
Mr.. Madden's statement that the
trouble with the Labor Board is
somebody else-namely. the National
Association of Manufacturers-was
a good excuse in 1885 and 1885. but
it does not explain away the criti-
cism being made in 1910 by William
Green, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor, nor does it
answer the many sensational dis
closures of incompetence and irregu-
larity among subordinate personnel
revealed by the special House COM
mittee investigating the Labor
Board. Every new law and board
makes its errors, but these can be
forgiven If the record shows q
fundamental obedience to the rules
of fairness and the presence of q
judicial temperament.

The Department Of Agriculture
has taken into consideration the pos

looks upon the existing situation as
an acid test for certain phases Of
the agriculture adjustment program.
Secretary Wallace expects an abon-

Gated 1910 production Of winter
wheat is now roughly 400 million
bushels. The 10-year average, 1927

year in consequence of the unprece-
dented condition.
Higher grain prices, in the light
of experience, will mean only an al
most unnoticeable boost in the cost
of bread. Consumer studies have
shown that a 30-cent rise in wheat
prices produces an increase of only
half cent per pound loaf of bread.
1t adds only three-quarters of a
cent to pound of flour, or w cents
on 10-pound sack of flour.

bushels. On the other hano, some
increase In spring wheat is expected.
Growers were allotted for 1910 q 10
per cent acreage boost over 1899. If
they follow allotments closely,
spring wheat production should be
around 200 million bushels, as
against the 10-year average Of 1885,
400, 900. If the total for both winter
and spring wheat reaches 900 mil
lion bushels the crop would fall
about go million below the estimated
total domestic disappearance Of $50
million bushels. But this will not
result in any shortage, because, de-
spite pretty heavy exports during the
past year, q moderately substantial
carry-over Of 300 million bushels is
in prospect for July l next. On
July /, 1941, the carry-over may
still exceed 200 million bushels,
which will be SO million more than
the average rry-over Of the 1905.

Crop insurance will cushion the

War Slashes Exports.

Owing partly to poor 1910 crop
prospects. wheat exports would have
dropped sharply this year, stay peace
or come war, though the European
brawl probably will cause them to
decline somewhat more than they
would have in peacetime. Britain
doubtless will favor Australia, Cam
ada and the Argentine in her wheat
buying, since they accept sterling
exchange. and the British per pound
can get more bushels of wheat in
those countries than in the United
States. AS London has just init
mated to the State Department, in
response to our whimper about cur
tailed British purchases of Ameri-
can tobacco, John Bulls dollar ex-
change will be saved to spend here
for munitions and industrial prod
ucts. France will import most Of
her wheat from her North African
colonies. Germany and italy will
buy chiefly from the countries to
their east. Russia is supposed to be
self sufficient.
