U. S. GUARANTEE
WHEAT PRICE IS NOT
WORLD LEVEL
Cheaper. Prieaa Xot Looked for Until
i Nations of Europe, Are Ablatio Pro
duce Own! Supply Report Based on
; Findings of -Crop Experts.
Julius H. Barnes. United States wheat
director, sums tip 1 the world's wheat
situation as follows ; j t
. "The government : crop -report. Issued
on August 8, confirmed -my worst JTaars,
showing a fall from the high prospect
of 1.236,000.000 bushels, June 1, to 40,-
000. 000 bustiers prospect svs' of -August
1, in the United States Knowing that
Canada has suffered a similar deterior
ation, it is evident -that the expected
surplus of North American wheat has
been cut In; two. t
"A survey of the bread grain crops of Europe
and of Europe's minimum consumption reanire
tnents, with the most favorable estimate) Justified
of the surplus available -from-tho United -States.
Canada, Argentina and Australia, indicates s
most discomforting margin. Unquestionably, the
supply and demand situation of the world is
such that tha American guarantee price ia cer
tainly not above a world level. .
"I have been in accord with those "who felt
that if the guarantee maintained wheat prices
sbove the world value ot wheat, then that me sa
ri re of Inflation should be charged against the na
tional treasury aa a war expenditure and not as
sessed upon the consumer. - In view of the disap
pointing shrinkage in the bread grain crop of the
world, and particularly, in America, that ia no
longer s practical Question. The American peo
ple, when they appreciate this. will. I conceive,
accept it philosophically and pay their self re
specting way to still another harvest, confident, aa
I am, that before then the weapons of war in
Europe will become instruments of production
and thus reduce the call on American food.
Exports Tsur Europe
"The wheat director has had a party of crop
experts in Eoropa. for three months. Traveling
by snthomobile '5000 miles, from Paris, across
Austria, Serbia, Itoumania into Russia, bsck
through Poland. Caeeho-SJevskia, - Hungary, Ger
many, Belgium sfid Northern France, in that en
tire distance, only once, when their machine was
mired for three hours in th lowlands of a river
bank, did they base -any trouble- whatever, al
though several times they eroased rail read bridges
which had been re-planked to serve wagon travel
aa well. Our conclusion ia that in many sections
of Europe 90 per cant of Abe normal crop acre
age has been put in against tremendous difficul
ties, and probably the : average in Europe is
above 76 per ceat, tn spite of lack of man
power, implements sad horses a moat reassur
ing commentary "on. the 'normal desire of man
kind to work and g produce.- In some sections
food is amnio, but ajstrihulioa to the congested
centers is broken riot only by railroad and water
transport disorganization, but also by political
obstruction, still perpetuated by racial antagon
ism. The showing is very hopeful and another
year of peace will put thee people, tar n the
road to complete self support.
Expensive Poods Eaten
"An equally astonishing development at home
lies ia our own floor consumption. Our pre-war
normal consumption was 235. pounds per capita
per annum, which by the way is lower than in
most coon tries of Europe. During the croc
year just ended our- floor consumption in Amen.
ca is no higher than 171 pounds per capita Wei
are forced do tha conclusion that, with better
spending power ia our people, they have gone to
the more expensive foods, probably msata. The
annual food bill of America is calculated, at $18,
000.000,000. A restoration of our normal fleur
consumption to 236 pounds, and a displacement
thereby of the . higher priced foods, would save
our people fully $1,000,000,000.
Food substitution during the war accom
plished much, guided try the response of a war
conscience. Is it possible to use tha newlv
aroused social conscience and secure ' not only a
reversion to 'our normal cereal consumption but
perhaps an tacrease? By thus reducing the
strain on other foods and thereby naturally eas
ing the price which excessive demand has made.
s savmg m trie ioou mil would reach beyond the
actual difference in cost between meats and
cereals.
"For that section of tho public that proposes
outright subsidy of food there ia only the reply
that the act establishing the wheat director office
did net contemplate nor authorise deliberate sab
sidy of food and that that policy cannot be em
barked upon without the unequivocal direction of
congress."

- 5"he wrorig impression has been given
out to farmers-concerning tha "board
ingf f wheat, according to a letter is
sued today to all newspapers by Max
ALJiHouser, second vice president of the
Uiiited States grain corporation. .
i The sols object of the United States Grain
corporation is to see that the guaranteed price en
wheat ts maintained, and that no farmer shall
get less than that amount," Mr. Houaer stated.
Mr, Houaer expressed displeasure over the re
ports that farmers would be held ss profftesra
who kept their grain in storage for a short time.
The misunderstanding is said to have arisen
out -of the following statement in General Bul
letin ffo. 7. recently issued by the grain cor
poration : .
?'No storage premiums would be added to basic
prices at "the: present time, nor nntil there 4o
cupiulate in the grain corporation's hands s suf
ficient reserve . of win at to .insure a measure of
protection for future home requirements."
. r'Dcferred deliveries of corn closed lower yester
day, on the Chicago market. On the whole tiie
mgrkeL- showed stubborn resistance to selling
pressure at . times, ; especially the September.
There has been rather persistent buying on the
breaks of late by strong commission bouses and
waiter local sentiment is bearish and foreign ex
change lower prices have not been down to the
inside figure of Monday. To soma of the closest
students of conditions the market acta as though
it: had gone stale on the bear aide and radical
4.23-Hjs would be necessary to force prices off ma
terially from the present level. Strength, and ad
vance in .September eorn. and - oats waa said .to
be due to covering by shorts and tonight selling
pressure while tho buying was on. Heavy par
chases of December oats were msde by local op
erators sod put -down to a commission house
with est tern connections. They were attributed
toj other traders. - Longs in osts sre said to be
short cons ss a hedge. " . , , :
