Mr. Herridge called for control of grain nlilling companies to pro- vide cheaper and better feed grain to farmers.

Mr. Gardner said that Australia - and Argentina charged less for wheat used on their domestic mar- Icets than they did for wheat sold to other countries. Under this sys- . tem foreign countries paid for the social services and lowe-r diving ‘costs that were enjoyed by the people in Australia and Argentina. He continued:
