PREDICTS 1918 WHEAT
WILL SUPPLY BRITAIN
Minister Of Agriculture Says Econ
omy VIII Beat U-Boat.

LONDON, June Rowland E. Pro
there, president of the board of agri-
culture, said yesterday that under a
government plan, the success OF
which he believed TO be assured,
Great Britain would grow sufficient
wheat in 1918 for all the needs OF
the population, with q liberal supply
left over for livestock.
Mr.. Prothero said this depended on
the solution OF agricultural problems
facing the country, but II these were
disposed of, "even II we started with
nothing in hand and not a grain OF
corn brought into this country, we
would still be able, at the normal
rate. to get the 5000. 900 loaves daily
which, roughly. are what we require"
The speaker said he did not believe
this years harvest would produce
the required quantity Of food, but ne
felt that II the country economized IN
the use OF breadstuff sGermany could
not starve England. even II her sub
marines triumphed over the allied
fleets and not q grain OF cereals came
into the country.

DEATH OF CENSORSHIP
Act Of House Sends Espionage Bill
Back to Conference.

Following the action Of the House last
evening in rejecting by a decisive vote
the censorship section OF the espionage
bill. Senator OVerman. In charge OF the
bill in the Senate, to-day withdrew the
conference report from that body.
This throws the bill back into con-
ference. The confsrses Will meet In q
day or two.
The Senate conferees look on the
House action a. meaning the death
OF censorship legislation and they
think II will be impossible TO get any
such legislation through on the es-
pionaRe measure.
However, II Is well understood
about the Capitol that further efforts
to get a censorship law passed are
likely from the executive branch OF
the Government. The President, II Is
Understood, has not given up the idea
Of getting a law under which the
newspapers can be clamped down and
information barred from them.
