We cannot deny wheat to foreign peoples who nr.. in dire need of it and we do not wish to do so; but fortunately, though the wheat crop is not what we hopel it would be. it is abundaat if handled with provident care. The price of wheat is lower in the United states than in Murope and can with proper management be kept so. Uy way erf immediate relief, surplus stocks of both food and clothing in the hands cf the gove'rnment will bo sold and of course sold at prhes at which ther- is no profit. And by way of a more permanent correction of prices surplus stocks in private hands wi'l be drawn out

Tnere is reason to believe that the prims of leather, of coal, cf lumber and of textiles have been materially altected b forms ef conceit ami cooperation among tne producers and marketers f these ami otliei universally necessary cammolities which it will be possible to redress. No watchful tr energetie -ifort will bsiar"ti to accomplish this necetsary result. I trust that ihro v.ill not bmany cases in which pre sec ution wih be necvs:rry. Pubuc action will no tloubt cause m ny who have; pernap.r unwittingly adopted illepal metlious 10 au!:don them promiuli and of their own motion. And pui licity can accomplish a r:re.it deal. The purchaser car. often take c.lre of himself if he kae s the facts and inMutnces he is dealin-: with; and purchasers are not lisin-clinr-d to lo :in thing, cither stn?l or eolle cti cly that i..:iy be liiucssaiy for their self-protection. The department of commerce, the elepartment of agriculture, the department of labor and the federal trade commission can do a f,rcat deal towatu supplying; the public s.) stom.itically and at short intervals with information regarding the actual supply ef particular commodities that is in existence and available, with regaid to supplies which ar? in existence but ntt available because of hoarding, and with regard to the methods of price fixing wnich arcv teii. used by dealers in certain foodstuffs and other necessaries. There can be littlo doubt that retailers are in part sometimes in larger part -r sponsible for exorbitant prices; ami it is quite practicable1 for the governme nt throuch the agencies I hae mentioned, to supply the public with full information as to the prices at which retailers, may buy and as to the costs of transportation they paid, in order that it may be known just what margin of profit they aie demanding. Opinio" and concerted action on 'depart of purc hasers can probably cio the rest. ni:i:i um to .ma Iii ' m:iMins. That is, tho- agencies may perform this indispensable service provided the congress will supply them with the nt ct's.su j funds to pros -cute their intjuines and keep their price lists up to date. Hitherto the appropriation committee of th- house have not always. I fear, seen the fuli abi of these inquiries and the departments and committees have been very much straightened for meanc to render this service. That adequate1 funds be provide?.! by appropriation for this purp'ie and piovided as promptly as posibh . is one of the pit ans of greatly ameliorating the present listrc-sing comlitions o' livelihood that I have eomc to urn'e, ia this attt nipt to concert with you the ii't ways to serve- the country in thi- emergency, it is one of the absolutely necessary means, underlying many others and car. be surplif d at one e.

Let me urge, in the first place, that th- present food control act should be extended both as to the

Such a law would afford a welcome opportunity to effect other much needed reforms in the business of interstate shipment and in the method of corporations which are engaged in it: but for the moment I contine my recommendations to the object immediately :n band, which is to lower the cost of living. May I not add that there is a bill now pending before the congress, which, if passed, would' do much to stop speculation and to prevent the fraudulent methods of promotion by which our people are annually lleecel of many millions of hard earned money. 1 refer to the measure propose.! by the capital issues committee for the control of security issue's.
