HUTCHESON, Chief Judge
(concurring specially).
I concur in the affirmance of the judgment and in the reasons given in the opinion therefor.
Because, however, it seems quite clear to me that the claim of the carrier proceeds upon a false assumption, and it is, therefore, wholly untenable on its face, I feel that I should briefly say so.
This assumption is that, because the United States, in the public interest of affording relief to distressed farmers, has made provision to sell the seed to them at a loss, the carrier should be treated as the substituted beneficiary, though there is no proof or claim that the United States could supply additional seed for the purpose without additional loss.
