MR. HOOVER AND
WHEAT PRICES
(Sioux City Journal, July 18, 1928)
The story is being told and retold
throughout the country that Herbert
Hoover prevented in the interest of
the allied governments, especially
Great Britain, the American wheat
producers from receiving more than
$2.20 a bushel for their grain. Sena
tor Reed, of Missouri, for example,
is going about denouncing Mr. Hoov
er as the man who beat down wheat
prices during the world war, and as a
man who is more British than Ameri
can. Senator Reed made the follow
ing statement after attending a demo
cratic conference in New York at
which it was agreed by the leaders of
the party that there should be no at
tempts at mud slinging in this cam
paign for the presidency.
Hoover is British. He spent his en
tire adult life abroad. He came to
this country to beat down farm prices
for the benefit of Great Britain and
her allies, and accomplished his pur
pose. He was so close to the British
government that they offered him the
post of minister of munitions and a
title. If we must have an Englishman
in the president’s chair, let’s have
the prince of Wales. Before coming
to America he declared himself an
English liberal. Ninety days after ar
riving he was a democrat. A few
months afterwards he ran for presi
dent as a democrat. He was con
verted to republicanism overnight
He is an organized appetite for office
The letters of Walter Hines Page
to Woodrow Wilson, published seri
i ally in this country and in book form,
told the story of the offer made to Mr.
I Hoover by the British. He told them
that he would cheerfully do what he
could for them but he “would* be
damned” if he surrendered his Ameri
can citizenship.
Mr. Hoover had absolutely nothing
' to do with fixing the price of Ameri
can wheat during the war. Wheat
prices were fixed in 1917 by Mr. Wfl
! son's fair price committee of 12. Mr.
I Hoover was not a member of that
jbody. Surviving members of that
! committee, Charles Barrett, L. J.
| Taber, E. D. Funk and W. J. Short
hill, have signed a statement that Her
jbert Hoover had absolutely nothing to
do with the wheat rrice decision. Be
sides, President Wilson made this
statement when he accepted the com
mittee’* report and recommendation?
regarding the price of wheat:
“The price now recommended by
the committee, $2.20 per bushel at
Chicago for the basic grade, will be
rigidly adhered to by the food admin
istration. Mr. Hoover, at his ex
press wish, has taken no part in the
deliberations of the committee on
whose recommendations 1 have de
termined the fair price, nor has he
in any way intimated an opinion re
garding that price.”
The Wilson statement above quoted
is of record, and Senator Reed knows
it. The allusion to Mr. Hoover’s reply
to the British when they offered him
honors in Great Britain is also of
record) in the letters of Walter Hines
Page, American ambassador to the
court of St. James during the war.
And Senator James A. Reed, of Mis
souri, also knows that.
Here is something else: Herbert
Hoover has been a member of the Na
tional Republican club for exactly 19
years, having joined it in 1909. Sena
tor Reed knows that, too. Democrats
sought to draft Mr. Hoover to run for
president in 1920 because of the re
markable work he had done in admin
istering Belgian relief and the inter
national popularity he had won. His
name was put on democratic primary
ballots in several states. But Herbert
Hoover on April 3, 1920, issued a pub
lic statement that the democrats had
dbne this without asking his permis
sion or gained his consent. And Sena
tor Reed, of Missouri, knows that.
The American people will be given
the opportunity to know the truth
about these things as the campaign
progresses. They will be reminded
that instead of the present republican
candidate for the presidency having
fixed the price of wheat thus robbing
farmers of greater possible profits it
was done by the committee of 12 ap
pointed by President Wilson. Thus a

This new Coleman Instant Light Preheater is one of
the most remaiKabk inventions and improvements
ever put on any type of liquid fuel stove. It does just,
what its name implies—lights instantly. All you have
to do is touch a lighted match to it, open a valve and
its going right now. In less than a minute from the
scratch of the match, it generates the stove to full
cooking heat—any amount or degree of heat you
want for any kind of cooking.
3tYou don’t have to preheat this starter with a couple
of matches or with a torch—no generating of any
kind. It starts going the minute you scratch a match
and turn a valve or turn a valve and scratch a match
—either way you do it is right—you can’t go wrong
—you can’t flood it.
There are starters and starters but there is none
lik« the Coleman. It’s different, new and orig
inal. It’s on all models of Coleman Cooker Stoves—
from the beautiful white porcelain enamel range,
clear down to three-burner black enamel hot plate,
ome in and see it work. ,
I democratic administration fixed the'
i price of wheat and if a sin against the j
• American fanner was committed Sena-1
tor Reed’s own party was guilty of it. |
And—he knows that.
Meanwhile when falsehoods of this
kind are circulated and nailed, as they
! surely must be, for the reason that
it he record is available, Senator Reed]
I who is disseminating them will dis-j
cover that he is doing Herbert Hoover
more good than harm. The American
people are not so easily deceived as
Senator Reed evidently believes them
to be.
