(Continued from Fan Ou) amount of profits made by the Gov* ernment out of wheat during the —''war). / “3. That said corporation shall have full power to buy and sell wheat grown in the U. S., the entire crop if necessary. Capital Sufficient “The proposed capital is sufficient. Co-operative concerns without any capital are now borrowing €5 percent *' of the value of wheat. In Canada dur ing the World War, the farmers were advanced at the time of delivery 65 percent by the government, and the balance at the end of the crop mar keting year. In this way the wheat farmers themselves can largely fi nance the operation as the banks will loan, as now, 65 percent of the value. “You will observe it is. the purpose to sell the exportable surplus abroad at the best prices obtainable, using orderly methods of marketing. Then sell the balance for United States consumption for the world level of prices plus 30 cents, the amount of the tariff. This would yield for the wheat farmers $180,000,000 oVer and above what they would otherwise receive. /• “The saving of $180,000,000 can be effected without making any special appeal to farmers for their cooper ation. That is to say, it is not de pendent upon their cooperation. It is believed, however, that with the pres tige of a big Government institution like the United States Wheat Cor poration, the leadership can be such as to bring about successful acreage re-‘ duction through the cooperation of the farmers, to the extent of wipiiig. out the entire United States wheat surplus. As our United States surplus is larger than the world surplus, it would wipe out the world surplus and .leave a decided shortage. Many be 'lieve this would spell $2.00 wheat. If any one thinks this plan is tame, they have another guess coming. In fact, it has such great potentialities, mem bers of Congress will probably insist cn writing into the law provisions to make it the duty of the directors tp. plan always to have a reasonable yvheat surplus in the United States, and that a maximum price be fixed at something like $1.50 per bushel. Handled on World Level “In working out this plan, wheat for export and flour for export would both have to be handled upon the ba sis of the world level of prices, which should be made as high as possible under a system of orderly sales, and without dumping. “Stabilization legislation must be obtained through the approval of both the President and the Congress. As between them, President Harding is undoubtedly the more friendly to agriculture. If we can’t gd the Pres ident to call Congress together now, the chance of getting any kind of wheat price stabilization at the reg ular session will be in doubt.” PRESIDENT IN STERN DEFENSE OF POLICIES ■ i (Continued from Page One) Louis address in which be proposed a reconstruction of the creative mat. chinery of the court, th'rf president said: ‘ “My own sincerity of purpose has been questioned because I do not in sist that we shall accept the exist ing world court provided. Personally I would vastly prefer the policy of submitting all cohtrover . sies in which we are coii. * after-problems of the war which di rectly involve the United States: “Second, the protection and promo tion, amid the chaos of conflicting national interests, of the just rights of the United States and the legiti mate interests of American citizens. ‘‘Third, the creation of an interna tional situation, so far as'the United States might contribute thereto, which would give the best assurance of peace for the future; and “Fourth, the pursuit of the tradi tional situation, so far as the united cooperation with our sister republic of the western^ fiemisphere. Praise' For Hughes “The eminent success and the far reaching achievements must have their ultimate appraisal by American public opinion,” the executive added, “but I submit them with unrestrain ed pride, and sincere tribute to the historic service of a great secretary of stale.” Mr. Harding then proceeded to the enunciation of international achieve ments. Taking up first the negotiation of separate treaties of peace with the central powers whichx was necessary as “the peace negotiated by my dis tinguished predecessor, tho he was impelled by lofty purposes, had evok ed a bitter and undying controversy.” Equitable Peace jObtabwd The negotiations resulted “in trea ties which established peace with those countries on an equitable basis, and at the same time preserve for the United States the rights em bodied in the Paris treaties which we had acquired through participation in the common victory.” Next the executive listed the Ger man-American treaty providing for mixed claims commission to deter mine American claims against Ger many in connection with which or ganization he said: “The extraordinary tribute, un paralleled in international relation ships was paid to the American sense of justice by the suggestion on the part of Germany that the United States should appoint an American, umpire.” The successful sittlement of the costs incurred for the maintenance of the American army on the Rhine, .listed as another accomplishment, the president said, had “little about it all to make sentimental appeal but it t is a gratifying record of sane busi ness and the seemly assertion of our just rights.” Arms Conference Big Thing “The outstanding historical, monu mental achievement is the Washing ton conference on the limitation of armament,” Mr. Harding be-_ fore passing k to minor accomplish ments. “Only a few days ago the government ef France gave the rati fication .which makes unanimous the approval of the nations concerned, and confirms the dawn of a new era in international cooperation for world peacer “The limitation of armament con ference was significantly triumphant in two accomplishments: it relieved and limited the burdens and found a way to remove the causes of misun derstandings which lead to war. The conference proved one of the greatest achievements in the history of inter national relations.” The president enumerated the vari ous treaties and agreements which* grew out of the conference and then Added': '• U. S. Influenced Lausanne Mr. Harding also pointed to the ■ good offices performed by American representatives at Lausanne, assert ing that although “cynical critics sneered at our ‘unofficial* represen tatives/’ he was firmly of the belief that “American influence at Lausanne played a becoming part, and an' in fluential part, in making for peace, when all the world stood in- appre hension of an aAned conflagration.” TurningAc iT*tin-America, the chief executive reviewed a- long list of vic tories in state craft and of evidences of good will toward the United States. Replying to the argument thaOlus sia should be' recognized by the United States as a means of alleviat ing the distress, there, the president' said: “The establishment of a basis of permanent improvement in Rus sia lies solely within the power of who govern the destinies of that country, and political recogni tion prior to correcting- fundamental errors tends only to perpetuate the ills from which the Russian people are suffering.” KIWANIANS TO HAVE BIG TIME Convention a t Watertowb; South Dakota, to Bring Many Delegates Activities of Kiwanis clubs in fif i ty-three of the most progressive cities of Minnesota and North and ■ South Dakota during the year will reach a climax at Watertown, S. D., August 9 and 10 when the annual! convention for the district which these three states constitute will be held. The Bismarck Kiwanis club will figure equally with all o]’ the other clubs of the district in the business of the occasion and its delegation will be strictly “in the swim” not only officially but also socially and literally, Watertown’s famous summer resort ef Lake Kampeska being one of the main lures attracting the Kiwanians to the hustling South Dakota city. District Governor Andrew Pick ard of Minneapolis and District secretary Caryl Spiller of St. Paul, with other officers and committee members of the district organiza tion. are preparing a program which will show the progress Ki wanis International has made in this district during the past year. The convention wilt also afford delegates and other Kiwanians op portunity, to hear International President Edmund P. Arras of Columbus, Ohio, International Sec retary Fred Parker of Chicago and other notables of the Kiwanis or ganization. Automobile caravans carrying Kiwanians and their ladies from all the leading cities of the three states are being arranged. Rail roads are offering special rates on the certificate plan and, with many new Kiwanis clubs in the district, officers expect this year’s conven tion to be the largest ever held in this district. | MARKET NEWS WHEAT TAKES UPWARD TURN Additional Unfavorable Crop Reports Affect Market Chicago, Aug.
