literally hundreds Of thousands of per.
sons have starved to death in the last
three years due to the world food
shortage and other conditions brought
about by the war.
A large part Of the world Is coming
into the position that Belgium is in
and has been in; that is, coming to the
stage where the primary and impor-
tant thing in life is enough food to
keep alive.
The food supply Of the world Is
short and getting shorter. You can,
not take 100000 men out Of pro-
duction and put them into destruction
Of human products and expect things
to go on as before.
In Finland, three and one-half mill
lion people, caught in between Russia
and Sweden, face failure of their
cereal harvest. They are now on ra-
ton Of $50 grams Of war bread a day.
That is less than quarter OF LOAF.
A large part Of that is made up Of bark
and beech buds. It looks now as II q
large number Of them would necessar-
lily starve.
Roumania Is caught In between Rus
STA and the other belligerents. Her
: people are short Of food. Her supplies
have been used up. We can see no
way-in which they can avoid disease

Chicago, May 27-corn prices took
decided downward swings today, in
fluenced by favorable weather. Likeli-
hood of enlarged receipts tended also
to give the bears an advantage. About
the only demand was from shorts. The
opening, which was unchanged to II
cent lower. with June at S1.37 and July
at s1.39& to s1.39%, was followed by
slight rally and then by material de-

High temperatures especially adapt

market depressed. Prices closed ner-
vous, ~ to 2A cents lower, with June
at s1.35&, and July at s1S71a to

sagged.
