New-York tribune., 1917-12-16

common sense the best way Is by a
simple presentation Of the facts ana
not by alarmist statements which Will
not stand the test of investigation.
That part Of the world which in any
way is largely dependent upon us for
foodstufs is centred in Europe. The
rest Of the world, especially the tropi-
cal countries. raises most OF its own
food, and often has even more to eX-
port. This is particularly true Of the
great rice raising countries Of Asia,
where more people live upon rice as
their staple diet than Is true of any
other grain grown. IL there Is any
scarcity of food with them, and there IS
no knowledge OF any such situation, 1t
is due as with us TO lack of transporta-
tion, and not of production.
Neutrals in Bad Way
In Europe VIC can eliminate the Cen
trail Powers from our consideration
also Russia. for we could not get much
food TO Russia, even IL we wanted TO-
and again for lack of transportation
Moreover, food does not appear to be
lacking in Russia, for so far as we
know there is the surplus from three
harvests which they were unable 10 e1-
port. The trouble again Is that the
Russian railroads, like their political
and military systems, seem TO nave
broken down completely. The neutral
nations are in parlous way, some OF
them at least, as TO food, but obviously
they will have 10 wait until we have
first taken care of the Allies. 3,
The harvest. just over, produced
more food of all sorts and descriptions
than we have ever known before as a
whole. We had record-breaking crops
of corn, oats, rye, Irish and sweet po-
tatoes. Kafir corn. peanuts, and unusuI,
ally good crops Of rice, buckwheat ana
barley. We raised more vegetables, as
a whole, but especially cabbages, onions
and beans, than ever before, and also
an abundant yield of fruits. There
are. consequently, more canned goods
in the country than ever before known

the war began. Our country IS one OF
the few exceptions TO this rule. IL we

make a big hole in our Livestock num-
bers and seriously and shortsightedly
denlete our capital. There are otnef

In Argentina and Australia in Decem-
