OF SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O,-The
United States government has refus-
ed to approve the proposed transfer
to British syndicate of the vessels
now under British registry owned
by the International Mercantile Mar
inc corporation.
cambridge Colby of the shipping
board in making this announcement
said the government had offered to
take over the ownership of these
vessels upon the terms Of the Brit
ish offer.
The vessels concerned in the Brit
ish syndicate's offer number appro.
ximately eighty-five, of an aggregate
tonnage Of 100000 gross tons. They
include some Of the most important
now engaged in the transatlantic
service such as the Olympic and many
others of familiar name.
SHIPPING BOARDS STATEMENT
This formal statement was issued
at the ONCE Of the shipping board:
Announcement was made at the
shipping board that the Information
al Mercantile Marine corporation had
been advised Of the governments
disinclination to give. its approval to
the proposed transfer to a British
syndicate of the American ownership
which has for years been vested in
the International Mercantile Marine
corporation Of the latter's vessels
now under British registry"
cambridge Colby of the shipping
board stated that an offer by Brit.
ish syndicate to acquire from the
international Mercantile Marine cor
L
poration the tonnage in question had
been under consideration for some
time. The offer was expressly con-
ditioned upon It's approval by both
the United States and British gov
ernments.
LONG HELD IN THIS COUNTRY
Negotiations, he further stated,
had been carried on by the interna-
tional corporation with entire frank
ness so far as the government Is con-
cerned. and the decision now reach
cd is due to the reluctance felt that
an ownership which has SO long been
held In this country. covering so i'm
portant q tonnage, should at this
time, and under the conditions now
prevailing In shipping throughout
the world, be suffered to pass out of
American hands
Teh government has announced
its willingness to take over the ow.
nership Of these vessels upon the
terms OF the British offer, which is
considered a fair price for tonnage
of this exceptional character.

The agreement has Its compensa-
ton, however, for the policy of Uncle
Sam is to provide each mill with all
wheat possible. To do so, every mill
signing up was required to furnish an
estimate of Its possible milling capaci-
ty for the season. This nationwide
survey of milling capacities, when bal
anced against the available supply Of
wheat, enables the Grain Corporation
to equalize supplies In a way v
done before. In fact, the schedule of
prices arranged for the primary mar
kets had for an object this eQualiza-
ton. For instance, IL the proprietor
of an elevator at Maryville, Mo-, 46

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea of the quantity Of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July 1, 1914, to
January l, 1918, is given by figures
Just announced by the o. S. Food Ad-
m~inistration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,1O0,9 33 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
TEN to supply this portion Of the diet
for %, 1914, $40 additional men.
The total export Of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3s4,000,0oO bushels.
Pork exports for the 3k years amount
ed to almost 1000, 100000 pounds. Elk
ports Of fresh beef totaled 443, 4s4, 400
pounds. The amount Of food exported

means of control of the retailer by
making the jobber a voluntary police
man to his customer. The jobber is
licensed to sell only to traders who
deal fairly, and If 1t should turn out
that q jobber persists in doing busi-
ness with retailers guilty of prof1teer-
ing In staples under control the Food
Administration has and may exercise
the right to revoke the license Of the
jobber.
The other part of this shipment on
tained our second bushel of wheat and
went over to the East Side into a small
bakery, which quickly made 1t into
creamy loaves. These loaves were
placed In groceries and delicatessens
and the next day were eaten by hum
gry little boys and girls with dark
eyes and big noses and quaint ways.
Brings Cut Startling Truths.
Government control has brought out
these startling truths:
More people unnecessarily make
their living put of wheat distribution
than was suspected. Thousands and
thousands of little spectators have
had to turn elsewhere for a livelihood.
A number of commission men have
la to close shop. There are places
where elevators should be built and
other places where there are too many
elevators. The Government, dominat-
Ing the wheat market, carries It's own
marine insurance. Wheat handlers at
terminals have had their activities re
stricted.
But most of all It is interesting to
e how the price of -four per barrel
tumbled from the time Uncle Sam took
a positive hand in the matter. The
Food Administration has recently com
pleted al interesting chart on the
prices Of wheat and bulk -four at Min
neapolis. In a statement of Novem-
Der %, the Food Administration says:
The farmer received for the 1915 har-
vest between s1.45 and $3.50 per bushel
for the harvest. taking the country by
large and . .. Last year he received
under 90 per cent OF the price of the loaf.
To-day he is receiving over 40 per cent Of
the money paid for the cash loaf, this
prices and the total elimination of hoard
ing and speculation in this industry.
The statement reports that farmers
on November % were receiving with
freight charges included from the ter
ritory represented to Minneapolis, ap-
proximately $3.50 for Az bushels of
wheat. The price of bulk -four at the
Minneapolis mill Is about $1O.25 per
barrel, showing that the miller is now
receiving about IS cents per barrel,
which must include both his operating
EXPENSES and profit.

the Grain Corporation was making a
large purchase for the Allies and was
utilizing its knowledge of available
stocks by having on the job n trans
portation strategist-Edward Cham
bers, vice president of the Santa Fe.
Mr.. Chambers was assisting the Food
Administration and has a remarkable
sway with him." Even before he was
called to assist Mr.. McAdoo, the Direc-
tor General. his suggestions to he rail-
roads had a wonderful effect in dis
couraging their hesitancy as to finding
available cars and in clearing up con-
gestions that looked as though they
never could be uncongested.
How Uncle Sam Keeps the Whip
Ease In getting the needed cars was
one of the advantages enjoyed by this
particular elevator after signing the
voluntary agreement which coded to
the Grain Corporation the right to con-
troll storage and direct shipments and
sales of all wheat bought by the pro
prietor.
While voluntary, this agreement is
almost compulsory since railroads give
priority recognition to Grain Corpora
ton requests for cars; and elevators
or mills outside the official fold must
rustic" for themselves In return the
Government guarantees the levator
proprietor against losses and protects
him In every way as 90 price and pays
him rentals for all storage space requi-
sitioned by IL.
All elevators, local and terminal,
must take out licenses or face u shut
down. What is the power of the IL
cense7 1t requires the operator to lay
all cards OF the table as to his busi-
ness dealings. For the time of the
war the elevator becomes a public util-
ity and its proprietor must furnish In
formation as to his business at any
time when required by the Grain Cor
poratIon. Each week he must make
and mail reports showing the amount
of wheat, rye, or their derivatives, pur
chased, stored, and shipped.
Under present license terms, the IL
censee can keep on hand for only 80
days, unless he obtains q special per-
init, any stocks of these grains or
their derivatives. He is also forbid
den to contract for the sale of any
product which can not be delivered
within 80 days after the contract is
made.
How the Wheat Was Mllled.
Away went our bushel of wheat on
It's journey to the terminal, where II
met other bushels of wheat from all
parts Of the territory that fed this
market. There 1t was regarded for
special requirements, marked for i'm
mediate milling and rolled on to a
large mill in Illinois. The miller
bought the wheat from the Grain Cor
poration, for each miller in the Unit
ed States is under license also, and
most OF them ave Allied out another
voluntary agreement which binds them
either to purchase all supplies from
the Grain Corporation or under It's d.

and November. under the supervision
of the Food Administration, -four pro-

great national situation, with depleted
domestic flour reserves and clamoring
foreign buyers, a hardly be over
emphasized, when movement of wheat
into primary markets has been hardly
