Taking comprehensive view Of the countries want

former may be cassed into those where the deficiencies
large, like England and France and those (such US
the Mediterranean States) where the scarcity
has been principally occasoned BY an over export Of
their produce and stocks, to replace which compara

countries Russia the Danube provinces Egypt the
