induce the farmers in use the "Chapas" of /inc own- 

 ed and loaned by the Ministry of Agriculture as stor- 

 age places, tlie habilitat inn of dock depots, the ut ili/inir 

 of tinghulos. etc., etc., \\\</\ the best tiling is lo dedicate 

 all our energies definitely to the creel in<j of Elevators. 



The greatest danger in the post pon<'ine,j| of ; : de 

 cision over a question of such magnitude, is the " t'ra- 

 caso" which threatens those who, anxious in forward 

 the interests of the country together with their own, 

 put their money into erecting isolated elevators under 

 present conditions, without a guarantee of fair treat- 

 ment. The results promise to be the same \~\ case of a 

 policy being 1 adopted favouring States elevators. 



Such solitary private elevators, unbacked with ex- 

 tensive capital and without combination among' them- 

 selves, must fall in line with the bigger concerns, whe- 

 ther State owned or State aided, and asuredly will fall 

 into the maws of the Cereal Trust later on, when nor- 

 mal conditions permit the re-establishing of ihe Combine, 

 despite th fact that they are erected in full faith of 

 Governmental protection and under the special Gov- 

 ern meiit concessions . 



This means, besides discrediting, elevators, as fi- 

 nancially sound business, which is what the enemies of 

 Elevators want, also discrediting the system in general 

 from the start, thus again setting back the progress of 

 the country for which Elevators or Grain Granaries are 

 essential .
