PRICE OF FLOUR MUST BE LOWER, BARNES WARNS Speaker at Chicago Hits at Speculation on Board of Trade in That City.
CHICAGO, HI, May 7. "Unless the advance In flour prices Is checked by the millers we will sell enough to stop It. The millers will also be placed on the basis of the regulations of 1917, with only thirty days' supplies." was the statement of Julius H. Barnes, president of the Food Administration Grain corporation, In an address before the Board of Trade here yesterday. Mr. Barnes reached Chicago at noon from Minneapolis and left for New York at 12:40. A minute before his train started he told a reporter that he had arranged
tor Imports of only 1,000,000 bushels of wheat from Canada, and that he
would sell enough flour to stop the advance, which, he says. Is unwarranted, as no scarcity exists.. Power Over Exohanaes.
Asked as to the power of the Grain corporation to regulate trading in
coarse grains on the exchanges, he
said It had none, but the food adminls t ration had.
Mr. Barnes talked rapidly and said
number of things In the open meeting. Referring to the exchange, he
said:
i leu you frankly that when a fluctuation In corn occurs such as on Monday, In which a decline of 10 cents to 12 cents was followed by a reaction
of 5 cents to 6 cents, at a time of the
year when no growing crop of corn
is endangered, and when such fluctua
tions are rapidly made and occur on
such slight cause, it Is well to con
sider whether it is not a clear indication of the entrance into your trading facilities of speculation on eo large a scale that It is overwhelming your legitimate functions. These functions of furnishing security to country and terminal holders, or providing security against unusual market loss to
those engaged in handling tbe actual crop, may well be overwhelmingly de
feated by the volume of speculative
trade Itself." Tells of World Conditions
The United States, Mr. Barnes declared, is the only country with sufficient food for Us needs, and this ques
tion has not been overlooked in
desire to feed the world. He said he
was in favor of removing regulations
governing food prices, but unless
fair price is maintained it will be necessary to keep the restrictions on
flour.
Acreage in the allied countries this
year is short and in the central em
pires acreage Is only 84 per cent of ' normal, he added. He declared he believes that Germany should be made to pay for supplies, as charity is not
a factor in dealing with her.
He asserted interested authorities
abroad are deliberately trying to cre
ate the Impression there Is a stupendous wheat supply and are venturing even to forecast the exact price at which the American crop must be marketed, the favorite basis being 21.25 per bushel. Neutrals Eager to Buy This, he said, was in spite of the fact that with the second largest crop ever raised we were denying the opportunity to neutrals to supply their urgent demand when they would gladly pay $2.60 for the privilege, so that our own people may not be forced to pay more than a fair price basis during the life of the food administration. A meeting of all grain interests with millers, bakers and others has been called by Mr. Barnes to confer with him in New York, May 13, to talk over the wheat situation and what Is to be done In handling the new crop soon to be harvested.

GIVE BIG SPACE TO KELLY APPOINTMENT
Big Four" Program At Senior Class Party
A. Icyda, a native of Japan, who has
been giving lectures In the United
states on Japan for the last seven
years, lectured at the high school to
the student body Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Icyda was a student in Ja
pan and he said that all the students
had one desire and that was to visit
the United States.
In speaking of the situation in Ko
rea, he said it was very serious. The
Koreans, he said, felt that this was
the opportune time to raise a disturb
ance, when the peace conference was
in session. There Is a general rumor in Korea that Woodrow Wilson will make a trip around the world and visit
every country and fix up their trou
bles, and that he will soon come to
Korea, he declared. The Japanese feel, according to Mr. Icyda, that Woodrow Wilson is "unselfish and really trying to do as much as he can for humanity.
The present Japanese question and! gtate,
the Italian situation are similar, said Icyda. The only difference is that Japan is willing to do what is right and Italy is not. Each has had a secret treaty. The question of citizenship Is one upon which My Icyda is emphatic. He Bays that the Japs want a square deal and they want peaceful relations with the United States.
