age-—about 3,000,000,000 pounds — in MUST INCREASE - FOOD EXPORTS America Called on by End of War to Supply Added Millions. — ECONOMY STILL Qver Three Times Pre-War Shipments Required—Situation in Wheat and Fats Proves Government's Polloy Sound. NEEDED. With the guns in Europe sllenced, we have now to consider & new world food situation, But there can be no hope that the volume of our exports can be lightened to the slightest de- gree with the cessation of hostilities. Millions of people liberated from the Prussian yoke are now depending upon us for the food which will keep them from' starvation, With food the United States made it possible for the forces of democ- racy to hold out to victory. To insure democracy in the world, we must con- tinue to live slmply In crder that we way supply these liberated nations of Burope with food. Hunger among a people inevitably breeds anarchy. American food must complete the work of making the world safe for democ- racy. Last year we sent 11,820,000 tons of food to Burope. For the present year,’ with only the European Allles to feed, we had originally pledged ourselves to a program that would have Increased our exports to 17,600,000 tons. Now, to feed the liberated nations, we will have to export a total of not less than 20,000,000 toas—practlcally the limit of loading capacity at our ports. Re- viewing the world food situation, we find that some foods will be obtalnable in quantities sufficlent to meet all world needs under a regime of eco- nomical consumption. On the other band, there will be marked world shortages in some important commodi- ties. A Return to Normal Bread Loaf. With the enlarged wheat crops which American farmers have grown, and the supplies of Australia, the Ar- gentine and other markets now acces- sible to shipping, there are bread grains enough to enable the nations to return to their normal wheat loaf, provided we continue to mill flour at a high percentage of extraction and maintain ecenomy In eating and the avoldance of wasie, In fats there will be a heavy short- pork produets, dairy products and vegetable oils, While there will be a shortage of about three Million tons in rich protein feeds for dairy anl- mals, there will be sufticient supplies | of other feedstuffs to allow economiesnl consumption, In the matter of beef, the world's ! supplies are Hmited to the capacity of . the avallable refrigerating ships. "The | supplies of beef in Australin, the Ar- | gentine und the United States are suf- ' ficient to load these ships. There will | be a shortage in the hmporting coun- tries, but we cannot hope to expand exports materially for the next months in view of the bottle neck in trans. | portation, i We will have a suflicient supply of suzar to atlow normal consumption In thix country if the other nations re. tain thelr present short rations or Ine crease them only slightly, For the countries of Europe, however, to in-‘ their present rations o a mae- | t Eextent will necessitate our share E fng o part of our own supplies with then ! Twenty Million Tons of Food. | & Of the world total, North Ameriea will furnish more than 60 per cent, The United States, including the West Indies, will he ealled upon to furn’sh 20.4066.000 tons of food of all Kinds as conpared with our pre-wur exports of | about G.O00000 tons, fe we will be able to change our in many respeets, even oa urvey of the world supplies ivison to world demands shows oy unless their will n people tion down that Burope the Ame home cons conc fannne know | and Coconditions of fmine in Tlurop will he beyond our power | to remedy, There are 0,000,000 - peo- ! ple in Noreh Russin. whem there s small chauce of reaching with food | this wir .« Thelr (x-:(n.~|m‘|-mnnn'|s.1 demoralized In complete anarchy, and | shortly many of thelr ports will hej frozen, even if Internal n‘:m:,pnrtf could be realized. | | To Preserve Civilization, 1 At this moment Germany has not | alone sucked the food and ;nsimnls: from all those massés of people she ! has dominated and left starving, but she has teft behind her a total wreck- age of soclal institutions, and this mass of people 1s now confronted with | absolute anarchy. 1t we value our own safety and the social organization of the world, If we | value the preservation of vi\'iliy,alinnl itgelf, we cannot permit growth of this cancer In the world's vitals. Famine 1is the mother of angrehy. ¥From the inability of governments to secure food for their people grows revolution and chaos. From an ability to supply thelr people grows stability of government and the defent of an- grchy. Did we put it on no higher plane than our interests in the pro- tection of our institutions, we must bestir ourselves in solution of thia problem:. {in Bemidii Saturday. ; G.
