Decision of executives of trunk line railroads not to grant a reduction in rates for transportation of wheat in- tended for export does not alter the determination of the American Farm Bureau Federation to insist that rates be lowered, the Washington office of the bureau announced today. Federation officials declared the sit- uation of wheat growers west of the Mississippi river has not changed ma- terially since the petition for a re- rduction was filed \with the commis- slon six weeks ago.\ They pointed out that Canadian railways can haul eat “so much cheaper from Sas- katchewan and Alberta to the head of lake navigation than can our rail- roads just across the line.” The petition was declared “only a small matter compared with the prob- lem of readjustment of all rate sched- ules upon a much more equitable basis, in which bulky, cheap com- modities will bear a most just pro- portion of the transportation burden.” SHIP-LIQUOR PACT GONSIDERED LEGAL i President Sees Way Clear to Allow Sealed Stocks in Three-Mile Limit.

Proposals for Combines Talked Over by Exporters. Representatives of several trade as- sociations met yesterday with J. Wal ter Drake, assistant secretary of com- merce, to discuss plans for more con- certed action of American exporters serving Japanese trade. It was said that by taking advantage of the Webb-Pomerene act allowing Ameri- can concerns in one industry to com- ! | bine for selling abroad some arrange- | ment to the advantage of both Japa- nese consumers and American produc- ers might be attained. Proposals by which American con- cerns in different lines of industry which do not compete with each other might unite their_export efforts were also considered. Mr. Drake explained it is the desire of those concerned to study the possibilities of permanent organization in the Japanese trade. —— FAVORS BUREAU CHANGE.

President Coolidge has recelved re- ports of an official nature strongly indicating that the people of Ger- many may soon need assistance in the way of foodstuffs, it whs stated at the White House yesterday. The American government thus far has formulated no decision as to any steps it might take. The reports have told of a lack of food and of an inability to supply considerable portions of Germany's population with the food that is| avadlable. The President has had the reports under consideration, but so far has not determined from what quarter the assistance may be best given.
