LETTER FROM THE NATIONAL.
CITY BANK OF NEW YORK


New York. April i6, 1911
TO our Correspondent Banks aud the
Public:
In our monthly bulletin we have
repeatedly pressed upon public at
tontlon the gravity Of the situation
which now conironts the world In
the scarcity Of food supplies but we
would not feel that we had done
our duty II we did not utter a final
word OF warning and OF appeal
upon the subject. The situation
grows more serious as spring adj
yances and the disaster tothe winter
wheat crop of this country 10 under
stood
All Of Europs neutral as well rs
warning countries been placed
upon food rations to exc out sup
plies until the new crop Is harvest
ed This country entered the pres
ent- crop year last July with 1884,
600 900 bushels OF wheat carried
over from the crop Of 1915 and In
1916 produced is2,OOO,0O0 bushels
Of winter wheat and l5s,OO0,oOO Of
spring wheat: total supply S0i,OOO,-
600. This year there will be prac-
tlcally no wheat carried over and
the governments estimate upon the
winter crop forecasts a yield OF only
i3O. OOO. 600. on thi8 basis the
spring wheat crop must be 2li'OOO'-
600 bushels larger than last year
In order to give US a wheat supply
equal to what we will export and
consume In the crop year now clos
ing. This Is an alarming outlook
The spring wheat crop Is notorious
~ subject to weather conditions
More spring wheat should be sown'
but It is doubtful II the wheat short
age can be made up. Other food
crops must be grown to meet the
deficiency.
This country is now at war, and
our allies. Belgium, Great Britain
France and italy are dependent upon
us for food They will have no re-
rerves and must have more from
us during the coming year than In
the past. or they will not be able to
feed all their people Added to the
appeals Of starving humanity VIII be
military reasons making 1t impos-
slble for us to put an embargo up
on the exportion Of food We
must divide what we grow this year
with these countries and with the
neutral countries-Holland, Dem
mark. Norway. Sweden and Spain
which are not self sustaining in
grain supplies And not only must
we supply enough to keep these peo-
ples from starving but enough to
cover the heavy losses at sea which
result from the submarine warfare.
n we grow no more food than we ala
last year. and so far the outlook Is
for less-there is danger OF a food
situation such as the world In mod
ern times has not dreamed Of No
other country har the resources in
land ard population to meet this
emergency but the United States.
There g. no business upon which all
other business depends az upon this
