Practically Helpless Now. ““We are practically heipless to safe- guard either the farmer or the con- sumer,” concludes Mr. Hoover, the pending legislation is passed. The report, in the form of a letter to the president, was issued through the pubiic information committes with the statement that publicity was given it “4n order that the country may know how serious and far-reach- ing the consequences may be both to the farmers of the country and to the consumers, of the present delays in passing the pending food legislation.” No Comment by President. No comment by the president ac- companied the report, although he has more than once demonstrated his im- patience over the repeated delays in congress which have kept the entire food control program in a state of un- certainty for weeks. Mr. Hoover's let- ter follows: Mr, Hoover's Letter. “Dear Mr. President: In response to your request, I send you herewith the following notes compfled by myself and my associates upon the present situation with regard to wheat. “1—The 1917 harvest promises to yleld 678,000,000 bushels. In the in- ternal consumption and other require. ment (assuming a carry-over of sam volume in 1918 as in 1917) amounts to about 600,000,000 bushels, thus leav- ing a theoretical export balance of 78,000,000 bushels. The conservation measures are already having a marked effect and it is not too much to hope that the national saving may be’ §0,- 000,000 to 100,000,000 bushels, and therefore the export balance increased to, say 158,000,000 to 180,000,000 bush- e Extortionate Profits. “2—The experience this year in the rampant speculation, extortionate profits and the prospect of even na: rower supplies than 1916 harvest and carry-over, must cause the deepest anxiety. No better proof of the hard- ship worked upon our people during the past year needs be adduced than the recitation of the fact that the pro- ducer received an average of 1.51 per bushel for the 1%16 wheat harves: vet, wheat has been as high as 3.25 Through one evil cause or another, the consumer has suffered from 50 to 100 per cent., and the producer gained nothing. Margin Between Producer and Con.- sumer. “It is evident that this unbearable increase in the margin between pro- ducer and consumer is due not only to rank speculation but more largel. to the wide margin of profit demanded by every linke in the chain to insure them from the great hazards of trade in the widely fluctuating and danger- ous price situation, during a year when all normal stabilization has been lost through the interruption of world trade and war. All these factors render it vitally necessary to Initiate systematic measures which will abso- lutlev eliminate all possibility of spec- ulation. &2 e tees | . Allies Have Consolidated Buying. “3—During recent months the allied governments have consolidated their buying into one hand in order that they might relieve the burden of spec- ulation from their own consumers. In a great measure the American pro- ducer is left to that buyer's judgment and is without voice. Furthermore, in normal circum- stances, United States and Canadian ‘wheat is moved to Europe largely in the fall months, such shipments av- eraging about forty million bushels per month. This year, owing to the shortage of shipping, the allied ship- ping will not during the fall months, apparently average over 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 bushels per month. Glut in Interior Terminals. “We must, therefore, expect a glut in our interior terminals . during a considerable period. ~The financial re- sources of the grain trade are probably insufficient to carry this extra load without the help of speculators. Will Face Slump in Wheat. The net result of this situation is that unless some strong and efficient government action is immediately brought into play, the American pro- ducer will face a slump in wheat and in any event, the price of export wheat will dictated by a single agency and the American consumer will be faced with the situation that a large part of the essential breadstuffs has passed into the hands of speculat- ors. Must Keep Mills Busy. “4—With great reduction in the consumption of wheat bread, the em- ployment of our mills must be greatly diminished and with the reduction of domestic flour production our daily feed from wheat residues will be great- I; curtailed. Therefore, we must in- duce foreign buyers to accept flour in- stead of wheat. —In order to do justice to the producers and to further stimulate their efforts in 1918, it is absolutely vital that we shall protect the farm- er this year. I am Informed that most of the allied countries have fix- ed the price of wheat for the farmer at $1.85 per bushel and many of the producers believe that as allies it is our duty to furnish wheat at a price which delivered to them will not ex- ceed their domestic price, about $1.50 per bushel in Chicago. A Limit to Price. ‘Neither their responsible officials nor I hold this view because I con- sider that the stimulation to produc- tion, if for no other reasom, s in the long run, in the interest of the allies. There is, however, a limit to price which so trespasses upon the rights of the consumer as to defeat its own subject through strikes, raises in wages and social disturbances in the country. It is with the view to find ing a solution to these problems that legisiation has been proposed. “6—The proposed food administra- tion has conferred with many hun- dreds of patriotic men in production and distribution and has investigated the condition of the consumers in many centers. Three facts stand out plainly enough for our investigations. Farmer Will Need Protection. “First, that In this situation the farmer will need protection as to the price of wheat, and second, that large masses of people in the consuming centers are being actually under-nour- ished today, due to the exorbitant cost of living and that these condition: unless some remedy be found, are like 1y to repeat themselves in even more vicious form at this time next vear; third, the speculator, legitimate or vic- fous, has taken a large part of the money now bemg paid by the con- sumer. “7—It seems to be overlooked in some quarters that the marketing of this vear’s wheat is surrounded with circumstances new to history and that the old distributing safeguards are torn away by isolation from the re- ciprocal markets abroad and the ex- Ackley and Miss Witter this week, and gave them a most enjoyable au- tomobile ride.

And- Be Strong and Well and Have Nice Rosy Cheeks Instead of Being Nervous and Irritabie ~All'the Time and Looking So “There can be no Beautiful. HealthyRosy Cheeked”womem without Iron. F. KING, M. D. “There can be no healthy, beautiful rosy cheeked women without Iiron. says Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author. “In my recent talks to physicians on the grave and serious consequences of iron de- ficlency in the blood of American women, 1 have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should presaribe more organic iron—nuxated iron—for thelr nervous, run-down, weak hag- gard looking women patients.

The real and true cause which started their disense was nothing more nor less than a weak- ened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. On account of the pecullar nature of woman, and the great drain placed upon her system at cerfain periods, she re- quires iron much more than man to help make up for the loss. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without It, no matter how much or what you eat, your food meraly passes through you without doing you any good. You don’t get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you be- come weak, pale and sickly l0oking, Just 1ike a ‘plant trying to Erow in & soll deficient in iron.

He must necessarily charge his toll to the preducer and the consumer and this latter probably upon a more extensive scale than last year as his risks will be_greater. “Practically, the export buyer must fix his own price for export wheat from the sole outlook of his own cli- ents and In execution of his duty he will in all normal circumstances fol- low the market down by buying only his time-to-time requirements as he cannot be expected to carry the load of our domestic accumulation. “Or, on the other hand, the & ernment must buy the surplus wheai at some reasonable minimum price, allowing the normal domestic trade of the country to proceed with proper safeguards against speculation. Nor would the services of the speculator be necessary for the government should be able to stabilize the price of wheat without his assistance and can control the price and quantity of export wheat. We are practically helpless to safeguard either the far- mer or the consumer until the pending legislation is paszed. remain, “Your obedient servant, “HERBERT HOOVER." MEXICO NOT ACTING ON ADVICE OF UNITED STATES Statement lssued Because of Rumor Mexico is About to Break With Ger- many. ‘Washington, July 10 —Reports that Mexico is about to break with Ger- many Jed to the authoritative state- ment today that any such move would not be based on advice given by the American government. It was made clear that while the American government would welcome a friendlier attitude by Mexico, many high officials believe the best inter- ests of the natlons concerned will be served if the southern republic main- tains neutrality. Ambassador Tletcher, who came here to report on conditions in Mex- ico, has told the state department that Aespite some improvement in Mexi- can affairs gemerally much remains to cause concern to the American gov- ernment. This circumstance Is im- portant because a break with Ger- many would give Mexico an opportu- nity to get money and place the Unit- ed States under certain obligations. Administration officials do not object to seeing General Carranza supplied with money, but they believe that without contributing much real aid to the allies, Mexico would make it hard for the United States, France, Great Britain and other nations with griev- ances against her to assume a stfyn attitude after the war. That Mexico may not by that time have straight- ened out her troubles is admitted as a possibility. Mexico’s present position has been defined as one of “strict meutrality” but it is in fact a benevolent neutrai- ity since she is permitting American warships to‘lie in her harbors wthout protest.
