What Peace in Europe
Means to US.

1t has been the commonly ac-
cepted argument that when the
! war in Europe ends the effect
will be to break prices up in the
grain markets of the United
States. But, on closer scrutiny,
we can see where the effect might
easily be just the opposite, we
have right to believe that, even
though military preparations
should be halted, the soldiers will
be kept in the trenches in Europe
for long time. And when mill
tary operations cease Europe will
plunge into her hcrculean task to
rcfit herself for her sure-to-come
economic rehabilitation. From
the time that the reconstruction
is begun we may be assured we
will find an increased demand for
our products for months, until
Europe has once again placed
herself on normal footing. To
say that the task will take years
is a conservative statement. The
point is that the tremendous de-
mand for our products will not
cease, but, if anything, it will in
crease.

negotiations are begun we will 90
