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 l. Australia had
stored 100000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port--but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of $4,000
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1sO.O00.OOO 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 iD the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add l35.OOO.OOO to
the left over.
1t IL not u problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
wOrid--it Ia. entirely a problem
Of shipping. which has thrown on
America tile obligation Of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

l did not quite know the etiquette
OF the situation; but could not resist
shaking hands quite eagerly. Then
he said, Perhaps you don't know
why | have told you all this Let me
tell you. like the cut OF your jib
and / want you to 90 ahead. So does
the Captain. But you are not putting
all you have into the work. You are
not giving all your enthusiasm.
1--WE are going to make some nom
commissioned officers soon, and the
Captain said only the day before yes
terday that he would like to promote
you only you lacked the spirit.
LET me tell you something more.
Don't look back at that nice job OF
yours. II we don't win this war there
will be no nice jobs. And keep in
mind, too, that we own nothing our
selves. This, is not O sermon; but II
is absolutely true that we had no
choice about coming into the world.
We were put here and we were given
many things we did not earn. Chief
among them is life itself. The nation
is the grouping Of all our people for
the greatest good of the greatest
number. We as q nation live closer
to that ideal than any people on
earth. When the nation calls you to
risk your life, 1t Ia making no unrea-
sonable demand but is asking the one
thing that makes 1t possible to hold Q
people together"
The Lieutenant was very quiet for
moment. Then he said: Look at
me. / tried the selfish, needless life:
and what did I do? / made a. mess
of it. Why, have known the time
when the men who used to work for
me would have dubbed me on the
street. But America has given me a
chance. She has let me wear this
uniform which tells Of my service, not
my selfshness, and some day I so
going back to the ranch. And my
uniform will tell my old people that |
am man-full grown"
left the Lieutenant after that and
came to my tent. There was letter
from father saying that my litts
cousin, the only child of his sister.
had been killed in an air raid!
Has war come to that? Killing a
little child?
