The Food Situation,

N COUPLE of weeks ago, the wireless re-
"A ports to The Advertiser from Washington
quoted promise of the, President. that state
ment Of the food Situation in Tic United States
would be Ssued%at Once 2byy''t the department Of
agriculture, statement which, the President
said, would remove the growing alarm lest the
demand Of Europe for wheat would deplete the
American supply to the point of acute scarcity
The statement of the. department has been made,
an advance copy reaching Honolulu in the mail
yesterday. rftEhs
According to theSfEures Fof the department Of
agriculture, the United States could export a
million bushels day to Europe, without touch
ing the supply needed for home consumption.
With the British and French ships now third
of the way through the Dardanelles, with one
hundred millions of bushels of Russian wheat
ready to pour out as soon as the passageway is
cleared, there appears little danger of any further
increase in the price of wheat and -four. y.
According to the figures of the department,
the 1914 wheat crop of the United States was
estimated to be 8ol,000000 bushels The esti-
mated surplus carried over from the 1913 crop
was about 100000 bushels. There was, there
fore, total available supply of 967OOooOo
bushels. AS the normal ANNUAL per capita con-
sumption of wheat in the United States is about
So bushels, 100000 bushels should meet our
normal domestic requirements for food in addi-
tion 100000 bushels. are required annually for
seeding. Six hundred and ten million bushels,
therefore, should supply the normal domestic de-
mand. This would leave a surplus of 100000
bushels. OF this surplus about 2l000oOo0
bushels were exported by January 80. This left
l47,00oOOO bushels, or 100000 bushels more
than our average annual export for the past FIVE
years, for export between February l and the
annearauce Of he new cron or for CARVING over
into the next crop year, The amount is suff-
cient to permit the export of nearly 100000
bushels day until July l, before which time the
new crop will begin to be available. This is
about the. average recent expectation.
The large demand for wheat arises from
the fact that there was estimated worlds
shortage OF over 40oO00,0Oo bushels outside of
the United States; from the fact that the Rus
sian eKportable surplus Of 100000 bushels
has not been available, and from the fact that the
belgerent nations are eagerito secure food SUP
plies. If it were not for theseethings we should
be discussing ways and means of disposing Of
our tremendous surplus Of food products. >" -

The Submarine Blockade

DREM1ER A9QUITHS 81 stateriert in' the.
British house Of commons, describing the
submarine blockade of the British coast as q fail
ure, as reported by wireless press dispatches,
may be premature announcement, or may be
issued for its effect upon home and neutral opin-
ion, Yet, il the world has been correctly in
formed Of the amount of damage done by tile
German submarines, both before and after the
declaration Of the "war zone" the damage
inflicted upon the British merchant marine is
very slight. #9]A ...-.. -. ,......
According to the announcements that have
been given out, prior to February H. when the
German submarine blockade officially COM
menced, mines had sunk since August 1, twenty
two British steamers, ten Of these being small
craft under 500 tons burden, Up to the COM
mencenlent of the blockade nine British steamers
had been sunk by German submarines, while
total of forty-eight British steamers had been
sunk hy the German raiders on all the seas
Since the Inauguration of the blockade ten British
steamers have gone down in British and Channel
waters d.. -. ..-'. 49,.
So far as the blockade is concerned, these ten
represent the height OF the German effort be-
tween February l8 and March 2, twelve days
time. II is upon these figures that Premier
Asquith reports the blockade failure. Except
for the cancelling of the Brtish-Dutch service,
the blockade has not, so far as available informa-
ton goes materially interfered with the sailing
to and from the British ports. II bar. ~.
/ The figures given out by Lloyds Of the ship
building in the British yards during 1914 show
that these have capacity of turning out pine
steamships every FIVE days, and the 1914 record
was below that Of 1913, indicating that, il neces-
sary. the British yards supply ships at a rate
| of nearly two for every twenty-four hours.
The problem presented by the British Pre-
mers claim, then is: If the, British can build
twenty -four ships in twelve days and the block
aders can sink only ten, how long will it be
before the British shipping is cleared out? 70

The Imperial and Royal Government is ready

other hand for the direct transport of merchandise
of noncontraband character, particularly cotton,
destined for import to Austria Hungary, and for
return cargoes from Austria Hungary, destined for
the United States of America and consumption in
those States.
Each of these vessels must be furnished with
a certificate from the competent American author

that ON the hOmeward voyage only such cargOes

Evidently both sides in Europe are agreed that
American registry may be given the ships of their

flag is raised over such re-registered vessel it will
not protect trade with the enemy. If the Daca were
carrying a cargo to either England or France it i:
certain that it would not be seized by warship Of
the Allies while it would have the risk of being

proved to be one of the most instruc-

held. II was instructive in that Mr..
Hoffman is recognized as one Of the best
posted men on insurance in the United
States, and a world authority on the
vital statistics upon which life insur-
ance rates are based. =. ~.
There seemed to be no phase Of the
insurance business but that he had

TAYLOR EXPLAINS
:. HOW TO SEE FAIR

Hawaii s painted fish will be one
Of the most talked of exhibits on the
exposition grounds. The problem Of
caring for the fish is proving serious
one. The water from the bay cannot
be used because it. contains so large a
percent Of fresh water and oil. 1t was
found necessary to send a tug outside
the harbor nearby as far as the Fara-
ZONES to bring in tank of clear ocean
water" said Acting Director A.. 7.
Taylor of the promotion committee in
his talk on the exposition at the Y. NJ.
C. A. last evening.
Fine Location for Hawaii
1.-THE Hawaii building has a most
fortunate location near the intersection
of two main avenues and opposite the
California building The singing of our
musicians will attract the throngs
which pass along these streets into our
building, Our building is near both the
states section and the foreign section.
The visitor to the exposition will feel
most like CULVER in Brobdignag, as
told by Swift. 1t is all stupendous and
marvellous in its design and eoloring.
Advise Your Relatives
~ would advise that you make sure
your relatives in San Francisco have
prepared for your coming before you
plan to surprise them with visit this
summer. Every resident of the Bay
City has received numerous letters from
long forgotten and unheard form rela
ltives, telling how pleased they were
that they would be able to visit them
this summer. / have heard that some
folk are even moving into small apart
ments across the bay and then writing
of their sorrow at being unable to en-
terrain visitors in SO cramped quar-
tiers, said Mr.. Taylor.
Gives Practical Advice
The speaker told in a most interest
ing way Of many of the details of the
exposition and of the lahors of the
men who were planning and promoting
it. He gave some very practical ad'
vice about the best way to see the diff
ferent features of the fair.
! He described the marvels to be seen
in the Patchwork Zone" such as
Creation, which interprets Genesis; the
Evolution of the Dreadnought, which
shows fighting ships in dioramic rep
reservations from the days of Tyre and
Sidon to Manila Bay. He also told of
the wonderful system of lighting the
lofty towers and pinnacles.
i The audience was, interested in state
ments as. to- how best to see the expOsi
ton, cost of admission to the various
conc essions, where to obtain meals,
what to wear and whore to live.

Relative Naval Strength

THOSE American wiseacres who are counting
4 upon the United States taking a leading posi-
ton as a naval power because Of the destruction
of the naval vessels OF Great Britain and Ger
many overlook the fact that both OF these bel
gerents are building vessels far faster than they
are losing them, and unless their destruction pro
ceeds in far greater ratio than at present, their
naval, strength will have increased by the end
of this year. while their relative proportions are
not iilteiy to change greatly, says the Army and
Navy Journal: a naval expert is reported as
saying that England will during l9lS finish
equip and commission new navy, practically.the
equal. of the present feet of the United States
r Along with these fifteen new capital Ships Eng'
land" we are told, "is building the corresponding
supplementary feet of light cruisers destroyers
and submarines. Her doclyards are performing
wonders" in respect to quick work" Germany
TOD, is! building new war craft day and night
Theonew vessels of both Powers will be so great
an Improvement on present. lighting strength that
our Navy will be Insignificant in comparison.

Part: of Scheme,

III I would be very interesting to know just what
i cablegrams from Honolulu went to Kuho at
Washington to induce his cabled request to the
legislature not to go record regarding the com
munity's choice of site for the federal building
Honolulu is being jobbed in this matter on behalf
of few private interests who do not care a
whoop for the good Of the city provided they can
saddle their back lot off on the community. As
matter OF fact, the free selection OF a site has
never been left to the treasury department. Mis-
information has been supplied regarding the Irwin
site and every possible objection has been thrown
in the way of the selection of that logical and
infinitely preferable location, Kuhio's cable to
the legislature is simply part of the whole
scheme to unload the Spreckels' site upon the
government. r. t&lMM
