It guaranteed to pay 12.26 a bushel at Chicago for all 1919 wheat offered for sale not later than June, 1924.

Australia and Argentina wheat is now bemy delivered to the European market for SL35; and as American wheat will have to be sold; whether abroad or at home, at the figure fixed by the Liverpool market, competition of the other wheat growing countries will bring the American price, the experts say, down to $125 a bushel in 1919, which means a net loss to the government of $1.01 per bushel. By next June, it is estimated the wheat price will have fallen to $1 JO in the United States; and of course when this comes about, the government will bo losing the difference between the price paid the grower,' $226 Chicago basis, and the market price determined by the crops of Argentina, Australia and India. Yet the government must keep its word to the American farmer. This is another of the instances where, by reason of departure from accustomed business methods due to the exigencies and demands of war, new and heavy burdens are penning upon the people, through defioits that can only be is always a made up by taxation. Price-fixiIt If e er bo could risky proceeding, though justifiable, it was in the war crisis which caused it to be adopted by this government in order to keep prices down and to keep production up.
