General Slateirient. Anions the various plans which j fifteenth of the following monlh an have been proposed for relief of the an index number of wholesale wheot producer, many contain fea- - price for th said month based lureijnoi considered desirable. The I upon the averaK' for the cor res plan which has met, with the great-( ponding month In the jiuriod 1U06 cut favor Is known as the "Wheat, M liicluslvo as I (Ml. The Dcparl- Kxport Commission Plan" Whlle'nient of Labor shull fix and an- (his plan has been opposed by ex- pollers and lias been adversely ac-jnd release of Index numbers foi led upon by the Portland t 'number j "l buftt Iwo months In advance, of Commerce, It is believed IhatiHiich dales to be on or about the that action might be modified and i fifteenth of each month for the even reversed by further campaign of education among not only the dealers but. the other business in terests making up the membership or thai body. The operation of Ihls plan does not contemplate Die do ing away with (he present market ing agencies but. will supplement them during periods of emergency. The ncllon taken by some of the Commercial bodies and farm or ganizations In various sections of the grain growing districts or Washington and Idaho, having in view, ft boycott of the general busi ness interests of the City of Port land, Is a very unwise move and should not receive the support of the Kxport League now being formed, it Is well to understand that this plan Is a new application or the protective policy, and as stuted before requires a campaign of education lo properly convince alt Interested In Its merits. It Is not. tn, ho expected thnt a nt njjd untried plan will meet with the Im mediate approval of everyone. The prime purpose of t he'organliatlioii of the Wheat Kxport Commission League is to carry on this cam paign of education and through it to present a united front to con gress and the administration,, : Section 11. . That In order In any emergency to give efreet to the operations of the Agricultural Kxport Corpora lion with respect to the crops and products handled by it, the Presi dent, upon recommendation of the l-nlied States lepartment of Akrl- malnialnltig a relative price level HubKiantlally equal to but not high-e- Hum i he ten year average price per unit which prevailed during the prewar period from 1'Hift to l:U4 inclusive. Not less than 3n days shall expire between the date nf any proclamation by the Presi- dent and Ihe taking effect of any embargo or change in any rale of duty. Whenever tn any emergency the President shall have taken ncllon to protect the inlerests or Ameri can agriculture under this section either by embnrgo or by change In the rate of duty and thereafter the conditions requiring such action shall have terminated, the Presi dent shall by proclamation restore the stains existing under the Tariff Act of i;i2 2 or Intervening amend- meiiis i hereof prr to the taking such action; provided that Sec tion :t i r of Hi,. Tariff Act or ly::.' hereby amended In such n man ner ;is to author!.,, the President to direct either Ihe Culled Stales Tar iff Coiiinils.slon or the Cnlted States IVeariinent of Agriculture to make investiKullniis under :ild section. Section 15. That wheat and flour, cotton and livestock and tts products are here by declared to be crops and pro ducts whose pries in the domesllc market Is determined by world price. Whenever an emergency shall arise which in the judgement of the Cumini.!iloii, after Invrstlga 'lens by It, reuuires the segregating m the exportable surplus from the domestic supply of any such crops and products in order that the same may be marketed Separately ihe Comnii.ssion hal1 so advise the President In writing with Its recom mendations, lie is auihoriii-d thereupon lo direct ihe Corporation lo lake such steps H9 mHy i,r n,M, crssary to aflect the purposes of this Act intended with respect to each and every crop and product covered hereby. The Commission Is hereby au thorised to determine by Investiga tion from time to tn. when any emergency may seem to cnll for ac tion what, if any. other crop crops, product or products, nhall ta liroiiKln under tho operation of litis Act. Settlon 17. That the roimnlnnlon for the pur pose of thin A el In empowered to deiernilne in cooperation with the lcparl nicnl of African arc and ''ormrierC(' the probuble export MiirphiH of any crop or product handled thereunder. Such deter mination Hhull be bawd on a con alderutlon of prevloiiH experience an to dofiicfdlc consumption, need rem-rveH, commercial carryover, exportH, and the estimated crop. The rtiantty of Burphm tlttm found available for export 'kIiiiII , fcovern the total purdiaxcH for that piir poe In any croji year. . Se-llon K. I'nllM? HtatcH Kxport I 'oiiiiiiIh lon, Hhall calculate by approved Mtallstlca.1 im-ihodK the ratio price at which It will purchuHc rropH and prodilclH under tlllH Act, The price at which the ConimlHHlon will pur chUHe productH Hhall be the average price at which the productH aold in a corn-Hpondlntf monthly period In the y.-ars J!iar - )'ii4 Incluaive, multiplied by the latent available lleparluient of Labor monthly In- dex number of w hob sale prices based upon the ten -year averaKe imifi-M for the Mild month as I no. Kor this purpose the department of Labor shall provide iiionlli by month niul by not -latter than the nounce dates for the completion preceedlng 'month. The Commis sion shall ascertain and release concurrently with the release of tho general price Index number each month the average base price of each commodity to be con sidered for th monthly period to begin with the date of the release and extending lo tho dute set for the next release, and shall an nounce at the same ttrne the ratio price for tills period. For example, tho ratio price of No. 1 Northern Spring Wheat for the period, De cember Ifi lo January ir, shall be determined by multiplying the av erage of the Minneapolis price rrom December 16 to January If. In tho period l!)(if-l!iU by the In dex number or tvholesule prices for November which Is released De cember 1&. Thus the. ratio price shall ho adjusted on or about the l&th or each month and shall re main unchanged until about the lfith of the next month. - 4 Heel If m 10. It Is hereby specified provided and declared that tho price- level so determined does not constitute a guaranteed fixed price for crops and oilier products handled under this Act but that the- Corporation shall purchiuse and segregate for sale in foreign markets at any and at time such pari, as may be deter mined by the Commission lo con stitute exportable surplus, and amy sell the same In the world market at the world price. The Corpora tion shall operate continuously during any period of emergency. When conditions reimlre thut oper ations commence after the season of movement or any crop or pro duct has begun, due consideration shall be given to all persons arrect ed thereby. Section 20. That tho Corporation shall es tablish a quota of purchases for each monlh. That audi ralo of purchase shall bo adhered to unless Ihe domestic price of the crop or product shall fall more than 10 per cent below or above the established i price level. In event the price falls bMow, the purchasing at- tho Cor poration shall bo accelerated In ot der to maintain the domestic price at not less than 10 per Cent below the lair exchange value with oilier prod tie! s tin It existed In the period from I!iu6 to 11U4. Inclusive. Section 21, That for Ihe protection of Amer ican consumers whenever tho do mestic price of crops or products hit lulled under this Act rises 10 per cent or more above the fair ex change value as established here under the Commission may direct the corporation to sell in the do mestic market any or nit tpttinll ties In its possession or custody. Such salo however shall cease at any time when the price reaches the level of the fair exchange- val ue or ratio price. Section il'2. That whenever the rale. of pur chase as determined above docs not mnlniuin the ratio price the Commission may order the Corpor ation to purchase part or all or the quotas for future months but the total purchases shall not exceed the quantities determined as di rected In Section 17. Mow The IU11 Would Work Taking Ihe figures of 102S. it is generally understood that we pro duced about 77u.OtiO,ooo bushels of wheat, of which probably iTii.Oiic mtlltun bushel Is tn excess of do mestic requirements and Is export ed to foreign countries. ' The avail able world market price for our export wheat, about 170,000 mil lion bushel, establishes the minim um basis price at which tir too,. Ooii bushel consumed at home Is sold. It Is safe to say thai under pn-sent marketing condil Ions that any considerable Increase In price received for the exportable surplus will result In a comparable increase tn domestic prices. After Ihe general amount of the tax and premium has been deter mined by the export commission.
