In Chicago on May 29 AP reported Aguinturea W M Jardine spoke at the Mid-West Transportation Conference. He said there is no basis to fear motor trucks will destroy railroads. instead highways will share the load as needed. Cooperation among road builders, manufacturers, and users is essential to maximize highway transport without overburdening roads. He cited U.S. data showing most truck movement is short haul and linked to freight types, with long hauls concentrated in furniture and household goods. He argued rail, water, and highway transport should be coordinated to serve the public better.

Government price fixing 15 benefits farmers in wartime
Washington May 29 AP Government price fixing on wheat during the war with Germany aimed to raise and stabilize prices rather than produce a free market. Dr Frank M Surface of the United States Grain Corporation, approved by Secretary Hoover, reveals war time policy sought to hold up prices and prevent speculation. Hoover notes a $600,000,000 bull side gain while the study claims European allies controlled export markets in 1917 to force U.S. prices, until government enforcement lifted them to about $2.20 a bushel, with later shipping constraints tightening supplies for southern hemisphere producers amid rising storage.
