man for President.

and ideal that he possesses

majority in the Presidential primaries there, the largest primary majority
ever given in California or in the United States.

Conference Is Called by Julius II.
Barnes to Discuss Plans for
Meeting Situation.
WASHINGTON. May 14. Cabinet
officers, members of congress and the
interstate commerce commission and
railroad officials have been invited by
Julius H. Barnes, head of the United
States Grain corporation, to confer
with him here on May 19. to discuss
Dlans for meeting the situation re
sulting from the termination of the
grain corporation on June 1.
"The approaching termination oi
the three-year stabilizing influence of
the grain corporation requires most
earnest consideration, said Mr.
Barnes. "America's grain marketing
machinery and its large credit needs
formerly depended upon the security
afforded by hedging transactions in
the great grain markets," the wheat
director continued. "These hedging
markets will not be reinstated be
cause of present hazards. The dis
organization of Europe forces the
purchase of their bread supplies Dy
government officials, instead of
through private merchants whose
thousands of differing opinions in
troduced a measure of cushioning
against violent price fluctuations."
"A conference May 7 of 400 repre
sentatives of wheat handling ana
manufacturing trades, bankers and
producers discussed this situation,
menacing not alone the grain hand
ling but the credit structure of the
country and resulting in possible ag
ricultural demoralization.
"I cannot face termination of my
office of wheat director without
bringing these conditions to the at
tention of those who may devise steps
for their correction. These difficul
ties center about inadequate trans
portation and disturbed credite, re
sulting In widening the trade mar
gins affecting producer and consumer
and possibly suspending the pro
ducer market entirely from time to
time. No over-emphasis in my judg
ment can possibly be laid on the need
of some corrective step."
