it is the impression of Congress that If this is done, the Grain Corporation will try to keep tho wor.d wheat prtoa as near $2.26 as possible through Ms control over the major portion of tWs world wheat supply which means that the consumer would have to ton Cain to pay nine cents a loaf for bread. Tho other side this story, how ever, is that the wheat crop still is 1 several months from harvest, and dur i ing this time it may prove failure. If this happens, the fixed price. and I control of the world market WOUW work out as a benefit to consumers.U it has during the war when the whsNt demand exceeded the supply. Another plan being urged by grslk men, is that Congress fix a "wot id price" lowar than the guarantee, of farmer and provide macmhsfy I'lor paying the farmer the tween the two prices when he Ultyri his wheat.
