Import Reef Within
Five Years.

Chicago, Ill. -"Meat in America will
be a rarity before the war ends, with
it's drain on our supply" said Henry !.
Williamson, government statistician In
the department of agriculture last Fri
day. 1.-THE number of cattle has d.
minished and the population increased
progressively for ten years until now
they are too widely divergent to hope
to get a full supply for at least Ter
years more"
Mr.. Williamson has been in Chicago
and the West for more than a month
visiting stock centers.
Unless scientific breeding for in
crease is general and the slaughter Of
calves ceases, before five years have
expired America will find herself in tbs
| class of European countries that have
to import beef" continued Mr.. vii
hanson.
Increased prices for meat and leather
goods were forecast by government ant
stock yard experts who have compiled
figures estimating the visible supply O
cattle at 35. 900, 000, including calves,
yeariings and full grown stock.

the future attitude of General Car
rama toward the United States.
High officials OF the administration
believes the fortunes OF the Constitu-
uonalist movement hang largely In
the balance and that only clear ex-
planation OF the Benton incident and
satisfactory reparafion TO those re
sponsible will regain for them the
prestige they had acquired as persons
desiring the restoration OF constitu.
tional government In their country.
Withhold Recognition.
Should the Benton case remain un-
settled In the event the cause OF the
constitutionalists Is triumphant, there
are strong intimations heard in off
cial circles that Great Britain would
refuse to recognize Carranza. IL he
were elected. IL is also taken for
granted by officials that Great Britain
might influence other European ma
tions TO withhold recognition until
reparation Is made for injury done
foreigners. Administration officials
here In discussing that phase OF the
situation today pointed out that on
the Benton case seemed to be de
pendent the political future of Gen
eral Carranza. The point raised by
Carranza that he need not supply I'm
formation to the United States about
British subjects or other foreigners
is not regarded seriously now, as
there are assurances from some OF
Carranzas friends that this attitude
will be modified.
Discussion Opened.
