Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great Stocks of wheat are isO-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January 1, Australia had
stored 1OO,OO0,O0O bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of 10000
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 18O,0OO,0O0 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 100000 to
the left over.
1t is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of dlvid-
ing our stock with the Allies.
