CAUSES INDIGNATION
THROUGHOUT HOLLAND
EXECUTION BRUTAL VIOLATION
OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

WASHINGTON, July o8.-Germanys
execution of Captain Charles Fryatt,
ma ster OF the British steamship Brus-
sells. for an alleged attempt to ram
submarine, Is regarded In allied
quarters here brutal violation OF
international law, likely to result in
prompt rctalatory measures by Great
Britain, They contend that IL a hos
tile subma rine approached the Brussels
IT was in effect an attack, and Captain
Fryait in making 81 counterattack by
attempting to ram. subjected himself
only to treatment as a prisoner of war
in event OF capture.
The United States government is in
terested in the incident and what may
follow il, particularly because Of the
bearing IL may have upon the diffcult
problems involved In submarine war
fare. which in the past have brought
the country to the brink of war, be-
cause 1t is charged with the care of
interests Of prisoners on both sides.
Rcprisals by the allies II is feared,
might be followed by change in the
German submarine policy, which has
been satisfactory to the United States
since the last assurances that merchant
ships would not be attacked without
warning or without provision for
safety of passengers and crews.
Authorities on International law
agree that Captain Fryatt. II the sub
marine attacked or was about TO at
tack him, had the right to counter
attack: but II he seeking out An
enemy vessel for attack. he placed him
self in the class of criminal, subject
TO summary execution upon capture.
The question Involved in this case
has been clouded by the belligerent
charges and countercharges concerning
the conduct Of submarine warfare, and
the allied efforts to exterminate the
German submarines. Germany claims
British merchant ships have orders
from the Admiralty TO ram any sub
marine sighted, and that the masters
! of ships carrying out such orders are
| pirates.
Offcials here point out that tho United
| States has taken the position that the
master of any merchant vessel who
sees a submarine approaching has. from,
the very nature OF the submarine
method OF warfare. the right to pre-
! sumo that he Is about to, be attacked
| Consequently. 1t is argued. he has the
right in turn to forestaIl that attack
by himself ramr,,ing or hrinS to defend
himself.

South during the Civil war. which is a
very different proposition from not
! raising enough wheat for our own use
and trying to get along without that.
Rice is not natural North Ameri-
can product. being a plant OF tropical
and sub-tropical countries. yet. while
both importatious aud expectations
have increased I'm about equal proper
ton. production has outstripped them
both. indicating that the largely in
creased demand is being met by do
mestic production even more than by
foreign Importation. A very definite
proof Of surplus production of agri-
cultural products beyond our needs.
according to the report, is the fact that
each year we carry from the former
harvest into the succeeding harvest
from 90 to IS per cent of the yield Of
the principal cereals.
Cane sugar is pointed to as a most
remarkable exhibit 1t is largely a
tropical and subtropical product, and
consequently can he grown only in
limited area in the United States
Likewise the production Of sugar in
this country has always been compli-
Gated by the matter Of tariff. Yet de-
spite these facts. according to the re-
port. domestic production increased
about l,6Oo per cent against about
LOCO per cent In imports. Meanwhile
exports from this country have in
'''"2cu CT -'voo per cent.
There is scarcely an agricultural
food product, either primary or sccon-
Diary. the production Of which has not
outstripped the growth OF population
In the last fifteen years, and the real
problem is not TO seek needed supplies
abroad. but 10 find an adequate and
satisfactory market for the constantly
increasing domestic output"
The number Of cattle in the country
has been slowly increasing since 1912
and the causes OF this are still in ac-
tive operation. chart indicates that
the decline in the number Of hogs was
hut temporary. as there are now more
hogs in the country than ever before
Furthermore. the committee declares
that conditions were never more favor
able for an increase of hogs
So far as the money value is CON
cerned. according to the national
chamber authorities. the expectation in
1919 OF pork packing house products
alone was seven times greater than all
the live cattle brought into this coun-
try during that year. OF the s1s4.-
"oo,o"n OF packing house products i'm
ported in 1914. only s2o.OOO.o 900 was
meat intended for food. while pork
packing house products exported TO-
taied Hl5i.ooo.oO0 for the same period
y detailed study OF the actual facts
involved warrants the conclusion" tho
committee says finally. that the
problem of imports of foodstuffs into
the United states need not give us
serious concern either now or in tho
near future"

COULD NOT STARVE,
i. S. TO SURRENDER
Chamber of Commerce of United States Shows How Re-
sources of Country Have Grown-Crops Have
Increased Faster Than Population.

! WASHINGTON. July 2S-Although
the people of the United States would be
forced to do without certain luxuricS
wartime blockade. the population OF
the United States could never be
| starved into surrender according to
| Il report of the committee on statistics
and standards of the Chamber Of Com
| mercc of the United states. The re-.
port goes on 10 state that. although
| the population of the country has in
creased 200 per cent during the past
fifty years, some OF the greater fooo
products have increased from $50 per
cent TO 5000 per cent
The most important product-wheat
has increased In production $50 per
cent and corn go per cent. The pro-
duction of rice shows the greatest in
crease. being 5000 per cent. and bar
ley comes second, with 1000 per cent.
oats and Irish potatoes have increased
III production AS per cent and ESQ
per cent respectively.
The usual argument that we are be-
coming food importing country Is
based on the statement that our ex-
ports Of foodstuns are decreasing
while imports are increasing" the re-
port goes on.
In the case OF wrcat. tie greatest
food IL will he seen the exports vary
decidedly from year to year, being af-
fected by great number of contribut-
ing causes but that exports have
shown an a7preciable increase during
the pas; five years, while the imports
always have been and still continue
A negligible quantity.
The falling off In exports OF corn is
due largely TO the numerous new uses
found for II al home in ways often not
directly as human food. The past two
years show large increase proper
tionately in imports, principally from
the Argentine. These imports were
actually in small volume compared with
the production Of any surplus growing
corn State and had small relation TO
the question of food. They were large
" the result of decreased domestic pro-
duction. owing to drought in the two
years in question and consequent high
prices"
THINGS WE MUST IMPORT
4 QUESTION OF TASTE
we do not grow coffee, tea and
coco in this country. and because Of
the lack principally OF suitable climate
do SO save in limited way" is an in
terestinE deduction. consequently,
our importation of such articles is en-
ttrely question OF taste. and our ex-
tensive use of them is an evidence Of
our ability to crafty this taste and
not matter of necessity. In case of
