seaweed May Relieve Potash Famine

Possibilities for relieving the potash
famine which the country is now facing
lie in the seaweed in the central Atlantic,
according to a report from Commercial
Agent Thomas H. Norton, of the Depart
ment of Commerce. The shortage has as
sumed most serious dimensions. say those
charged with looking for means of increas-
ing the supply. although there seems to
be possibility that the supply from Pa
cific dried kelp will be increased in the
near future. The ordinary commercial
chloride of potash is now quoted at 5000
a ton. while the rate in July, 1914. just
before the war started. was but $36 ton.

Revenue Question.

A Washington special to the Philadel-
phia Record says: THE revenue question
was general topic Of discussion at the
Capitol today. 1t virtually is conceded by
opponents of the national preparedness
program that legislation providing for more
adequate defense will be passed. The
question of where to get the funds to Fl.
nance the proposed increases is giving
party leaders more concern than the pre-
paredness program itself.
1T is generally conceded that whatever
else happens, important changes will be
made in the income tax law, the exemp
ton being materially lowered and the sur.
tax probably increased. Members of the
Ways and Means Committee are known
to favor these changes.
"A tax on automobiles also is strongly
favored, even by members who ride to the
Capitol daily in machines of their own
There is a difference Of opinion amonl
members as to whether the automobile ia,
should be on a horsepower or valuation
basis. Some favor one and some another
In the event the tax should be levied on {
valuation basis. some members favor max
ing it $25 on low-priced machines anC
grading 1t upward. II this should &
through. it would mean tax of about
per cent. 1t would not be made higher
and probably would be made lower.
THE question of retaining the presen
duty on sugar is regarded as definitel
settled. The only change that is to b,
made in this regard would be to put bac
the duty to where it was in the Payne
Aldrich law"

Seizure OF Grain Only First Step.

The Communicating of Canadian wheat
by the British Government was interpreted
in New York on Monday, by grain export
ers, as possibly the first step by England
not merely to take over all Canadian grain,
but to smash ocean freight rates by re-
QUESTIONING the Atlantic freighters. Ex-
porters regard the situation as undoubt-
eddy serious from their point of view.
They assert that the British Government
could virtually drive the American grain
exporter out of business if it chose.
"The seizure of Canadian grain, one of
them said, has left us all at sea. None
of us know yet just what it means, but If
the British Government intends, as is pos
sible, to take over all of the Canadian grain
crop. it is going to put us in a serious posi-
ton"
For some time there has been a rumor
current in New York exporting circles that
Great Britain intended to take over all her
Atlantic merchant marine. as a drastic
step toward breaking the high freight rates.
1t is declared that the Canadian grain
seizure looks very much like the first step
in this direction.
1t also was reported that the grain had
been Communicated on behalf of Italy, the
Italian Government having urged the step
on London in order to escape the heavy
burden of the present rs per cent. rate Of
exchange against it in New York. j. Ward
Warner, president of the Produce Exchange
discounted this report, as he said he under
stood that Italy was not making individual
purchases, but that grain was being bought
in common for England. France and Italy
1.-THE only explanation can offer of this
move" said Mr.. Warner, lis that certain
spectators have been holding wheat Gin
the Canadian elevators for a big rise and
that the Canadian Government has acted
to check them. But it is impossible to tell
just now what it does mean"
1t was explained semi-officially that the
British Government made no request upon
the Canadian Government to commanded
the wheat. The request was made that
it be secured. The method to be followed
in doing so was left to the authorities
In place of buying in the open market
they decided it would be wiser to take oveI
the wheat peremptorily and to determine
the price later.
