Washington, March 15.—Germany's military and political victories in Rus- sia will give her little economic bene- fit immediately, in the opinion. of American officiils familiar with the resources of the Slav territory, al- though it is taken for granted Ger- many will make the most of the op portunity. : Not more than of grain is believed to be eastern and southern Ru fter the demoralization of the past year which has c ed the production and creased waste. In October it is pos- sible that from 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 bushels will be available for the spoil- ers from the new grain crop, Perhaps more important than grain will be the vast resources of the Si- berian dairy farms which have been developed by German capital and which will begin to supply in June, the fats for which Germany admittedly has been suffering. Semi-official reports of the capture ef 10,000,000 bushels of grain in Ru- mania are ridiculed by officials here on the strength of reports from American Red Cross workers and thers who have been in Rumania re- cently, They say there was no grain to be bought in, the open market and that even when commandeered cars were sent under guard to remote re- gions, only limited quantities could be obtained and those were subject to pilfering by the needy population if left unguarded for any time. Russia has always been a country to sell its grain rapidly after the har- vest because there are few facilities for storage. After a year of anarchy, in which the question of food con- ailable in in- statly has been uppermost in the minds of a populace excited by suid- den power and freedom, officials here Jsay they believe little stored) grain itt Supporting this belief are reports that last year’s crops in Russia were below normal, Production in the em- pire co intly has been greatest on the kk s because the poor far- mers ithout the capital and ma- cultivate the gre chine nind effect- ively, REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS \.
