Senator Hiram Johnson of California, boomed by his friends for the re publican presidential nomination in 1924, returned from a tour of Eu rope today on the Leviathan, refus ing to indicate to reporters or the crowd who gathered to greet him, whether his hat was in the ring. Johnson enthusiasts professed to see the two good omens in the inci dents of the homecoming. One was the fact that In the little fleet of crafts that went down the bay to greet him wag the tug Menominee. The other was tfie fact that while he didn't shy his hat into the ring, a capricious wind shied it for him into the bay. The senator only laughed, however, when he was asked to comment on the omens and declared: "I will not be interviewed on do mestic politics st this time. Later 1 may have a little to say.” Cheered by i.m. friend* of the senator Indicated they expected an important state ment from him Wednesday night when he addresses the testimony din ner being arranged in hi* honor. Senator Johnson was taken aboard the municipal steamer Macomb down the bay and landed at the battery. He was cheered there by a crowd of more than 1.000 persons as hs en tered an automobile to take him to the Waldorf. To reporters who pressed him for some indication of how he feels about the "Johnson* for president" move ment. he had ever the same answer, though h» phrased it differently— that he wasn't going to be Interview ed on that subject today. "I have been in Europe four and a half months." he said. "During that time I have been out of touch with domestic politics. X will talk about domestic politics only after I have had a chance to catch up with what happened during my absence."

Present prices are abnormally lew. What shall we do with the crop? The raising of food Is a fundamental function. It la more Important to raise food than to raise armlee. Dur ing the war, with patriotic pride, we sacrificed freely to place and main tain our armlee in the field. There was a glamour about t^at. There is now no glamour about the farm. In the last analysis, the- farmer Is the foundation of our prosperity. H.s welfare should be our chief concern. Confronted by Condition. We are confronted by a condition and not a theory. For present pur poses. we may lay all theories aside. legislation cannot possibly be ha-: immediately. That, too, la for future consideration. Manifestly, the present wheat crop cannot be diminished In quantity. The supply Is a fixed fact. Our only sub stantial relief, therefore, must come from sn Increased demand, or some plan of supporting the market. Because of financial conditions, many farmers In the central west must immediately sell their whea*. This would glut the market and lower the price. There are two legitimate methods by which this situation may be relieved. One is to hold wheat out of the market—the other is to Increase the demand for actual con sumption. The withholding or withdrawing of wheat from the market might not permanently affect the price, but tr would afford temporary relief by stabilising present prices, and so make possible an orderly marketing of the crop. For the time being, it would limit the supply. In this con nectlon, the alogan. "Buy a thousand bushels of wheat" should be very ef fectlve. Buying Plan Preferred.
