Paul I. Aldrich, editor of the National Provisioner of ; Chicago, said the food business was suffering from hand-to-mouth buying and constantly receding price levels. The failure of big baking companies, ihe said, to readjust bread pi ices to I correspond with lower prices of other ! foods has tended to hold down con ! sumption of wheat and flour. Sidney D. Kirkpatrick. editor of ! Chemical and Mi tallurgical Engi neering, and the chemical business , was suffering largely from lack of price stability, nicrensing burden oi local, state and federal taxes, inade quate statistics of chemical consump tion and the resumption of bad trade practices. ) E. L. Shaner, editor of Steel, said j the steel industry, was being held i back because the demand for that commodity is not of sufficient vol ume or of necessary balance to justify steel works operating much above 50 'per cent capacity. Douglas G. Woolf. editor of Textile World, said conditions in the textaile industry were brighter than in more than ten years. Assurance that the bottom of the business depression had been reach ed was given the editors by Julius Klein, assistant secretary of com- I merce. Secretary Doak told the editors jthat while the country has resources land raw materials, skilled workmen, ' business genius and finances, "we ihave been somewhat lacking in that j spirit of r.uranee and progress wnicn is common to tne American people."

Camp bell of Montana, identified as the largest wheat farme rin the United States, told President Hoover wheat purchases of the grain stabilization corporation, which he placed at .. 0 oOO.OOO bushels, were only about 1'iO.nOO.OO bushels in excess of nor mal needs. Campbell, who lunched wiHi President Hoover, said it was necessary for this country o have at least 150.000.000 or 200.000.000 bushels of wheat on hand at all times in case of war or severe drouth In the wheat belt. A less amount, he added, would be disastrous in case of crop failure or attack. The Montana farmer de plored attacks made on the farm board by business and financial writ ers, saying this hrd brought about a feeling among the farmers that business was in opposition to agri culture. The action of the farm board in stabilizing wheat price twice dur ing the past jreat and a half was said by Campbell to have averted a p.uii. Ml this country.
