Excerpt from Miscellaneous Hearings: Before the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, Sixty-Fifth Congress, Third Session The committee met at 10.30 o´clock a. m., Hon. Asbury F. Lever (chairman) presiding. The Chairman. We have met this morning to receive suggestions in the matter of the wheat guarantee proposition. There are various representatives or the grain trade present. Mr. Reynolds, I understand you are to have charge of the hearings so far as the trade is concerned. Mr. Reynolds. Yes, sir. The Chairman. In the interest of economy of time, I will ask that each of the witnesses be permitted to make his general statement without interruption and then to adopt the plan of allowing the committee to cross-examine the witness. And Twill say to the witnesses, they realize, of course, this is the short session of Congress and the committee is very anxious to hasten the consideration of this matter, although we want you to feel free to give us all the information you have and to make any suggestions you feel will be worth while. So far as I am personally concerned, I have no definite plan in my mind as to how this should be done and I shall be glad to have you gentlemen feel absolutely free to suggest some way in which the matter can be worked out. Statement of Mr. A. E. Reynolds, Crawfordsville, Ind., Representing Grain Dealers´ National Association. Mr. Reynolds. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, we have for some time recognized the task that was before you in working out a plan for handling the 1919 wheat crop, under proclamation of the President. We have had several councils among the trade to determine, as near as we can, some of the problems and some of the difficulties that confront the situation from the economic standpoint as well as the plan of making good this guaranty. We have reached a conclusion on a good many of the cardinal principles involved, but there is not an exact agreement on all; neither is there a disagreement, but there is the uncertainty that naturally creeps into a problem of such great magnitude. We have decided on a few things: First of all, we believe that the question of whether the guaranty should be made good should not even be a debatable question; that the Government of the United States is not ready to repudiate any of its obligations to the farmer.
