FOREIGN TRADE IN CHEESE
REyOLUTTONTZED BY WAR

The war has revolutionised the eoun-
try's foreign trade In cheese, according
to statement issued by the bureau Of
foreign a~a9rasst!c~ commerce of the
department of commerce. During the
fiscal year 1914, the last year before
the war, the United States bought s3,-
100000 pounds of cheese from Europe
$500. 600 pounds from italy, 22,5o96a0
pounds from Switzerland. 5.5ee. 900
pounds from France, 100000 pounds
from Holland. and smaller amounts
from other countries. The average
monthly imports from Europe were
about $500, 600 pounds In August of
this year exactly ninety mine pounds
of European cheese was imported. 1t
came from Italy. In September only
1.232 pounds came from Europe
While Europe Is wisely retaining
this most valuable food for her own
pressing needs. Argentina has turned
TO cheesemaking on Aarge scale and
is now placing important quantities in
the United Statas In August this
year abe delivered $4,000 pounds In
this country and in September 27s.so0
bounds. These figures do not approach
the imports from Europe before the
war but they are interesting in view
Of the fact that during the entire year
1915 not 4 single pound Of cheese
came from Argentina
More cheese is being exported than
imports In September 2,0o1.0oo
pounds was sold abroad and was dis
tributed to more than nifty countries,
England took the bulk OF IT, 100, 600
pounds. Cuba 100. 600 pounds, and Mex
leo $4,000 pounds.

Germans hope for. They hope for it
because, knowing that naval attack on
fortified shores is invariably more
costly TO naval forces than to land

the allied fleets to such an extent
that their own would be on a parity
