Nearly Killed by
Democrats' Work
Farmers Also Hard Hit as Lir
erpool Fixes Prices of Wheat
So That They Are in Hands
of British.
. a
Chicago, Oct. 28. There are 4vo
great markets for the American
Farmers' wheat, the American flour
mills and the export business which
centers in Liverpool. By action of
the Wilson administration, the
w American flour mills have been put
out of business, as far as the export
.of flour is concerned. That leaves
the Liverpool wheat market the
great power in handling wheat and
fixing wheat prices, and the wheat
at Liverpool is in the hands of a
British government commission. In
other words, the Wilson admmis-
trationvhas left the American farm
'er at the mercy of the British-gov
eminent. -
-- The situation was explained to
, day, as follows, by A. P. Husband,
secretary of theimlltrs' national fed
eration m Chicago:
The action of President Wilson's
shipping board t discriminating by
its freight rates against the exporta-
tion of American flour, has placed
the national Administration in the
position of working hand in hand
ith the British royal commission
against the best interests of the
American wheat raiser and the mill
ing industry of the. United States on
which the farmer is dependent for
the sale of his produce.
The price of wheat jt the United
States, is in reality fixed in Liver
pool and to Liverpool goes Ameri
can wheat at a price fixed by the
British. - ( nnpntlntlt Amrirai
farmers" have lost approximately 90
cents a bushel pn' their wheat dur
ing the last few weeks, owing to the
decline in the price, moreover, ap

v teed is lost to American dairymen
because of the exportation of wheat
instead of flour, making it possible
for European dairymen to make
their products at a cost below thaUp

for, many years before the war
the exportation of flour was about
equal to that of wheat. As far
back as 1880 40 per cent of the total
export (of wheat was in the form of
flour. 1 he percentage varied, ac
cording to the world crop condi
tions in different years.
During the war ocean rates were
controlled by governmental agen
cies and the demand for flour was
so great that theates were not a
.serious consideration, ."is long as
the Uuited States gram corporation
operated exportation of flour con
tinued. But as it went out of exist
ence the shipping board permitted
the .United States merchant marine
to " carry millions of .iushe'ls of
wheat to Europe arid on June 14 of

wheat was "lustified. . This means
a niseriminarion. in ocean rates oi
50 cents per barrel against flour,
, This discrimination in ocean
rates against flour practically kills
the export flour business, except in
limited quantities. : The exportation
of flour fn 1919 totalled 26,000,000
barrels, Now it amounts to practi
cally nothing and the United States
shipping board by surrendering to
the British royal commission is per
mitting British millers to buy wheat
in this country . at practically the
price fixed by Great Britain and to
take away from the United States
the flour markers of Europe.
The exportation of wheat from
the single port of New Orleans in
July,. August and September of this
year totalled more than the whole
annual exportation from that port
in normal years. Yet. with all this
wheat going .across the seas from
New Orleans, only eight barrels of
flour were in the cargoes in Sep
tember. '

nia Divulged In Speech.
Tokio, Oct. 28. (By The As
sociated Press.) Some embarrass
ment has been caused the foreign of
fice by the publication of addresses
by Masano Hanihara, vice foreign
minister, before various political
groups (of tlte Diet on developments
in the, negotiations with the United
States relative to the California land
question. There has been a tacit
agreement between Washington and
Tokio that the government would
not make public statements regard
ing the negotiations, which 'are con-'
tinuing sympathetically.
It is understood that talks given
by M. Hanihara to political leaders
have been a 'sort of concession to
politicians who have been demand
ing less secrecy in diplomatic mat
ters. They have been of a;onfiden
tial nature, but, nevertheless, full re- j
ports have been published by-news- I
papers here. In this connection the
vice foreign minister has made a re
quest that a statement be published
that newspaper reports of his ad
dress before the Kenyuki party in
the House of Peers on October 16
were distorted versions of his re
marks, and attributed to him state-
fments he did not make.
M. Hanihara, speaking onOctober
16, was reported to have declared
that measures taken tp check the
anti-Japanese movement in Cali
fornia -had been futile. He was
said to have declared that if the re
ferendum measure should be adopted
by the California voters there would
be an appeal to the supreme court
by Japanese residents of that stater
a demand for the nullification of the
law as an infringement on the Japanese-American
treaty and negotia
tions for a new convention between
Japan and the United States.-
