Washington, D. c., May O.
Congress will be asked TO ap-
propriate $1,000, 100000 for the
building of the great American
merchant fleet. which is to over
come the submarine menace.
The program evolved by the
shipping board contemplates the
diversion to government uses OF
the products Of every steel mill
in the country, cancella ton OF
existing contracts between those
mills and private consumers and,
where necessary, payment Of
damages by the government to
parties whose coA6racts are
Cancelled.
Estimates OF the shipping
board are that 5000, 900 to 6.C00,-
600 tons of steel ard wooden
vessels will be constructed by
the government during the next
two years.
The only manufacturers Of
steel to be exempted from the
programme will be those need
ed otherwise for the national
defense. 1t is expected that the
first Of the ship building opera
tions will be in motion within
two weeks.
1t may be unnecessary for tho
government to actually take over
the ship building yards of the

The normal American c0nsump-
ton with seed requirements is
put at slightly more thon 6O0,.
100000 bushels.
The countrys great spring
wheat crop was 352 100000
bushels, produced 1916. 1be

mated production this year of
