Placing tho United States wheat
export surplus from this years crop
at so 900 900 bushels and Canada'S at
I5O Don. 600 bushels. Mr.. Hco.a' urged
domestic economics to increase this
country'S surplus. Ia $50 000,VOo
bushels.
This We could do" he said IF our
people would eat one pound less or
wheat flour per week and one pound
OF corn meal instead.
THE question of VINO wins this war
is who can endure the longest. and the
problem of endurance in large de-
gree is "A problem Of food supply and
the ships 10 carry it, The farmer who
works overtime and the consumer
who economies are fighting The sub
marine with positive and sure
weapon"
III peace should come" Mr.. Hoover
continued. "larS" numbers of ships
would b" released and European
wheat production increased. If eli.
matte conditions n"Xl year are right,
he estimated wheat crop in this
country 0f onr billion bushels. For
this The food control law guarantees
Il minimum price Of s. per bnshcl.
III war continues this wheat will
he vitaIly necessary" Mr.. Hoover
said but if the war should come 10
m end there will be no foreign mar
krt for ut least i00.000,0 900 bushels.
The government must then take over
the wheat, and probably find q mar
krf for it AT Il very great loss. should
anticipate that the government may
lose from 5000, nGn600 To 100000 900
on This wheat guaranty if peace ar
rires before the 1913 harvest Is mar
krfcd."
Mr.. Hoover expressed the opinion
that til" fixed guarantee, was unncccs-
sary. and thTI reasonable profit
guaranteed TO the farmer would have
boon sufficient to stimulate produc-
ton.
However tho guaranty has hecn
fiXrd." he said. III is an assurance
against the submarine. and any esti-
mHte Of whit ii may cost we must
leave 10 the future"
Turning to the meat situation. the
administrator said pork products were
more vitality needed by tho allies than
beef
In tho matter Of beef" he said,
"thr allies can support themselves
without any consequential expansion
OF imports from the United States.
In view of the European situation
and the American shortage in hogs,
he pointed out that there would he a
high average price for pork products
and therefore 1t would br TO the vital
advantage of every Trainer to raise
hogs. adding:
I'VE need keep the pig move

point of artillery. this Russian fleet is
so overwhelmingly outclassed by tie
invading armada. which. split in three
main squadrons, is about to plunge
upon it from as many sides, that the
only hope Russia can pin on these
ships appears to be that in accordance
with the old naval tradition, they go
down fighting, INJECTING as heavy loss
upon their victors as is possible.
The only alternative is surrender,
and that would mean augmenting tie
German fleet by a considerable num-
Der of sorely needed auxiliary craft
