more than 3O million bushels OF
oats and very little barley. Hith-
erto the great supply of oats and
barley has come from Russia,
War cuts off the supply from the
first two named, and lack of ships
from the rest. If Germany could
live on famine fare in war-Say
on pOtatoes-her population
would never starve; for she is the
greatest potato grower in the
world, producing one-third of the
worlds total crop.
| Look back over the figures of
food supplies in Europe-a wheat
deficit of 500 million bushels; a
corn deficit of 200 million bushels
an oats deficit of 200 million bu-
shells in only three of the leading
countries; a beef deficit in Eng
land alone of two billion pounds.
Then look back at American af-
fairs! Uncle Sam has the largest
and best farm crops in all his his
tory. What effect is the war going
to have on prices?
Only one of two conclusions is
possible: Either the war is 60
ing to be as short and swift as it
is terrible, or prices for food pro-
ducts must 60 to famine prices.
If Germany could bottle up all
the lanes of the sea, she could
undoubtedly Starve Europe into
groveling in submission at her
feet within a month. Only two
of the belligerents have sufficient
food within her own borders
France and Russia. But can Ger
many blockade the countless lanes
of the sea? Her merchant ton
mage is to England'S as one 10
four; and if she cannot block up
the lanes of the sea, then the
chances are as good that England
and France and Russia will starve
her into submission as that she
will starve them. An absolute
blockade on food supplies from
Russia, France, England and her
colonies could Starve Germany
into defeat no matter how much
gold is in her war chest unless
she could get a supply from Ar.
gentina or the United States. That
