RUSSIA KEY TO WHEAT PROBLEM ' Continued from Page bne)' and Canadian1 provinces indirectly. have used public funds in holding local surplus wheat off the world market, in neither case has It been possible to change the present eco nomic trend toward lower prices. Whatever reasoning has been back of official effort, the fact remains that a world surplus exists and that situa tion carries with It declining prices. Low Prices anfl Acreage Decreases. , , The natural reaction of a continued Lindbergh should be." rs Who Saw Lindy Hop For Paris Think He Will Conquer the Pacific NEW YORK (A1) Berrft Balchen and "Casey" Jones, two of that little group of aviation celebrities who saw Lindbergh take off for Paris from Roosevelt field, May 20, 1927, In the Spirit of St. Louis, have completo commence in tne success oi nis transpacific flight. "He's had the experience more, perhaps, than anyone else and he knows planes," Balchen says. "If any one iB quan iiea lor sucn a riignt. 16w price range is' an acreage reduc tion brought about by the elimina tion of marginal lands. The rule that bHce. regulates production Is un changed.

It 1 particularly In evidence in the spring wheat acreage of United States and Canada where It Is tho result of unprofitable prices and is in no way a response to well meant but belated official advice. Current reports Indicate a material contem plated reduction in Argentina and Australia. Germany and Italy under the stimulus of a highly tariff pro tected market, show a small Increase. In the working of economic law there is a lag between cause and effect,, so that the unsatisfactory price trend for the past two years is just beginning to show its effect in an acreage de crease. This decrease would have ap peared earlier and would have been more pronounced but for governmen tal effort in many countries to arti ficially support wheat prices, and u the declining price warning had been earlier heeded through the prompt elimination of marginal areas, the readjustment would have been less Severe and. the process less painful. Governmental interference with the supply and demand price trend un- oertaKen in surplus producing coun tries , also unfavorably affected the world wheat situation In importing countries. In addition to encouraging , surplus wheat countries to maintain their wheat acreage in hope of some finally effective price stimulant, the action also lead Importing countries to defend themselves against artifi cial prices by reducing wheat con sumption and stimulating domestic wneat production. Tne iirsc was -aone by milling regulations lowering bread, quality through a greater percentage of 'flour extraction or the admixture of cheaper substitutes, and the sec ond by increased imporc auties upon Imported grain. The effort of sur plus producing countries to artificial ly support wneat prices nas tnereioro had two ill effects, it has encouraged further increase in surplus produc-, tlon at home and reduced, the over seas market for the wheat thus pro duced. , Russia As a Factor. No clear understanding of the pre sent situation and probable future course of wheat growing can be had without a careful consideration of the position and possibilities of So viet uussia. Tne acreage recoras oi the five great wheat producing coun tries Argentine, United States, Can ada, Australia, Russia- prior to and since the world war, In post war .boundaries, may be studied in periods as follows: Average period: 1909-13 14.3, 47.1, y.H, Y.D, 74.2. TOUU J.03., 1920-2415.3, Total 144.8. 1928-39 18.6, 67:6, 23.1, 12.8, 73;6. Total 185.6. 1930 21.3, 69.2, 24.9, 18.2, 84.1. Total 207.7. (1) 1921-24. This table emphasizes the manner In which the four countries, Argen tina, United States, Canada and Aus tralia immediately increased their acreage, to cover the deficiency cre ated when Russia passed out as a world wheat factor, and it equally emphasizes how the same countries refused to decrease their acreage to make room for Russia's return as a producer. The return of Russia as a wheat producer, as evidenced by her rapid recovery In acreage to a figure ten million acres above her pre-war area, attracted "but little attention because she was using practically all of her enlarged crop at home, her contribu tions to the world's wheat trade be ing trifling until the current year. (To Be Continued.) they watched the heavily laden plane. Balchen says that if he were con templating a jaunt over the North Pacific, he would visualize It as no more dangerous than the perils to Suicide Theory Is Winning Some Support Today NEW YORK, June 13 W A theory that Starr Faith full ended her own bizarre life gained momentum today. Nevertheless, Nassau county au thorities continued efforts to find evidence that the Greenwich Village beauty had been murdered in a plot involving persons of prominence with whom she was Involved in gay life in New York, London, Boston or on steamships. A new diary discovered In the girl's home, the authorities thdught, might support the murder theory. Newspapers attributed to an un named detective the theory that she might have fallen off the sea wall at Long Beach, Long Island, where her oouy was found on Monday. This I detective offered tho suggestion that I tho waves had caused her to be come unconscious and bruised be fore she drowned., Dr. Otto Schultze, medical exam iner, has been unable to say whether she received her bruises before or after death by drowning. The grand Jury which District At torney Elvln N. Edwards convened in Mineola yesterday, remained in ses sion but the one day and adjourned to Tuesday. Mr. Edwards left short ly for Rlverhead', 70 miles away, an nouncing he was on a vacation. The investigation was left with Inspector King. Prior to that Mt. Edwards had taken full charge of the case and had offered theories that the girl had been murdered in New York, or taken to Long Beach and thrown from a rowboat. He also forecast ar rests of prominent persons. Boon after Inspector King was left In charge, his detectives found a new diary in tho Paithfull home at St. Luke's mace. Ho immediately ilew to River head to show it to Mr. Edwards. Police said it Supported the murder theory. The first diary also found in tho Faith full homo was put before the grand jury.

But he doesn't . at all minimize the dangers lurking over the Pacific, in solte of the shorter water jumps pos sible, Rathor he agrees with the Ameri can 'round-the-world fliers who have made the Pacific flight and who say that uncertain weather is a greater risk than that of failure ln the plane Itself. tJones Agrees. Tho odds are far more in favor of Lindbergh flying the Pacific than when he started his dash for Paris, ln the opinion of Oassy Jones, noted racing aviator and chief of the Curtis-Wright air service. i Jones is well known as one of the best technicians in air circles, and is an accomplished filer. , "I have Just finished a thorough inspection of the plane Lindbergh will use," Jones said. "We installed a 675 Wright Cy clone motor last December and it will give him plenty of altitude. His plane Is equipped with pontoons and he has ample room for gasoline sup plies. "If Lindy takes the trip easily and Is content to wait for proper con ditions, he should have very little trouble. His greatest risk, of course, is in the weather."
