England ships potatotes to
America, Notwithstanding the
war conditions, and there must
be a reason for it. How can
England afford to grow potatoes
and make a profit on American
markets when food stuffs are so
badly needed in that country?
1t is not for love OF America, but
love of money, or for profits that
potatoes are shipped this way.
Surely American growers can
produce potatoes cheaper than
they can be grown in England
and then shipped to this country,
now what is the cause? 1t would
not be so strange if there was no
war, but when country at war
needs every pound of food stuff
can afford 70 ship to this country
and brave the danger of ocean
fight, there must be an induce
ment in the way of prices that
will pay the freight, risk and
profit, that is what it takes to
get goods to markets. American
growers ought to produce pota
toes just as cheaply as it can be
done in England, and if the
prices in this country are high
enough to induce English grow
ers to ship to America, there
should certainly be a great
chance for American growers to
make large profits, and they
should take advantage of it; the
freight from England ana the in
surance would be all profit to the
American growers. This looks
as if the spectators in this
country were having one put
over on them, they have depend
ed too much on war prices.

When England can ship am
munition to America, it does not
look as if she was in any way
short of munitions of war, espec-
cially when she can ship here
cheaper that we can buy in this
country. Besides the chances of
destruction on the ocean by
enemy vessels, there is the eX-
pense of shipment to this coun-
try, and when you add the ocean
freight and insurance to the
price of the English output and
then get it here cheaper than
our own manufacturers will sell,
it shows that conditions in En-
gland so far as manufacturing in
dustries are concerned, are not
in bad way.

ANOTHER HUGE LOAN.
Congress May Be Asked to Vote $1,000
100000 for War.

Washington, D. c., July l7.-Unlest
the unforeseen develops, Congress prob
ably will be asked before adjournment
of the present session TO authorize an
other gigantic loan to the allies. The
present authorization of $4,000, 900 ,00C
will be exhausted within from three to
four months, at the rate at which the
government is lending money to entente
governments.
Indications are that the amount OF the
second authorization will be no less than
the first and may 60 as high as $1,000.
100000.
There is every reason to believe the
administrations policy of financing the
allied government for purchases they
make in this country will be continued
during the period of the war and that
the vast sum to be loaned them in the
future will be at the same rate of in
terest the American government will
have to pay for the money on the Sc
curity of entente government bonds to
be deposited in the treasury.
The amount OF credits placed to for
eign governments already is 81 1903, 000,-
900, or approximately 4S per cent of the
total, and this covers the financing of
only two months and twenty days.
Should the loans during the next three
months be at the same rate as during
the past three months, the entire 49,
0O0.000,000 will be exchanged by Oct. 25.
Without authority from Congress the
government cannot exceed the $1,000
100000 limit named in the bill and the
next session of Congress will not con-
vene until December.
During the first three months the rate
of lending has been approximately $780,
100000 a month. Extended, ii would |
mean an annual loan of $4,000, 000, 900 |
abroad, all the funds, of course, being |
spent in this country. Estimated costs |

tary and naval establishments during |
