Show WHOS NEWS THIS WEEK... By Lemuel F. Part on VmrfffTfTfffffWfWfff If they do not take this precaution, they stand a chance always of finding their bins empty and are faced with the necessity of closing their mills. It is this feature that causes long range buyers to resort to what is called hedging. That is, they sell on option nearly as much as they buy on contract They are thus able to offset losses whether the price of wheat goes up or whether it goes down and the losses or the gains are distributed throughout the industry. It Is the only way by which the industry can protect itself. Mr. Wallaces scheme proposes doing away with that sort of thing, not directly but through the effect of the granary. In other words, the net result of the granary would be for the government to hold these stocks and feed them Into the market as demand for supplies requires. This sounds feasible and it probably would be except for the fact that we have no means of controlling production in the other wheat producing countries, and I repeat that I am using wheat as Illustrative of all farm products. In fact, the Wallace plan provides no control of production in this country and that question is vital As far as I can see, nature is going to operate to give us rain or give us drouth in accordance with the judgment of the Higher Power.

The Emir, too, was embittered, but lie is a realist. He knows the power of England and scrupulously maintains the synthetic post-wa- r status quo England, of course, has a tremendous political stake in as a buffer to India, but there are even more tangible factors which the Emir weighs and appraises and cannily uses Those three Arab states have cotton, rubber, tobacco, mineral and oil lands and developments which have supplied the Emir with an ace card in dealing with European nations.

While New PRESIDENTS AIDE ever-norm- aiL a One of the things that happened in the administration of President Hoover is Tried Once sure to be remem- and Failed bered ls the utter failure of his farm policy. That farm policy centered at one time in what was called the Federal Farm board. If you will go back a few years and recall the operations of the Federal Farm board, I think you will agree that the things it undertook to do were exactly comparable to, if not exactly the same as, the scheme set up by Secretary Wallace in his granary idea. The only difference that I can see and I watched the operations of the farm board from close at hand is a change in the name. It must be admitted that the phrase granary has a pretty sound. But when it comes to a question of an attractive expression, one that is soothing and one that should convince us all that every problem is solved, I submit those favorites which Mr. Wallace used when Professor Tugwell was with him in the Department Who does not reof Agriculture. call the more abundant life, and who has forgotten the doctrine of scarcity to assure plenty? As far as I know, neither the house nor the senate committee on agriculture has held hearings on this granary phase of the Wallace legislation. Thus far, the discussion has been largely on questions involving benefits and subsidies and means of marketing No attention has been given to the granary threat, and I menace. a as it regard If this discussion were devoted to only the consumer phase of our economic life, I think I should be selfish enough to urge emetmert of the Wallace plan I believe I cm see where the ever normal graniry idea will make bread cheaper, where it woll make cotton textile goods cheaper and when cotton is cheaper other textiles are cheaper, and where other food and necessaries of life that have their origin on the farm will be reduced in price by such a legislative policy. But that is not my idea of a sound economic structure. It is just as necessary for the consumer to pay his fair share toward the maintenance of a living agriculture as it is for farmers to pay their fair share to a living commerce and industry of whatever kind it may be. The senate Democrats have electee a new leader to succeed the late Senator Joe Robinson, of Arkansas. He is Senator Alban Barkley, of I Kentucky.

No one can tell when it will strike and since markets are made up of individuals who are human, a portion of the markets is always going to be frightened by the uncertainty of when government wheat will be offered lor sale. It is a perfectly human reaction because it involves the pocketbooks and humans naturally want to buy as cheaply as they can and sell as high as they can. any-tHe- JcinSi as To get back to the question of the seems it Lor? al Fun Loving Emir.
