Paris;
Feb. II. The American ,
Treasury Department favors the ic
leasc of the government contiol of
the price of wheat, so that the price
i may reach a normal supply-and-de-mand
basis.
This would entail a big drop in the
price and a gicat government loss
because of- the $!!.26 a bushel price
jjuaianteed by the government to
farmers for tho crops of 1918.
That policy is favoied genet ally
by American economic repiesenta
I tives here who desire to see the
'normal reached in every way pos

prices and England also subsidized
the bakers in order to reduce the

likely the bUpreme economic council
will have to pass on the whole ques-
