kept PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained A.
lied Loaf Through Sell
Denial at Home Table.
AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July /
and October 10 We shipped 65,9S0, 305
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237 100000 bushels of wheat and
flour in terms of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton of hOstilities we are able to re-
turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have white loaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year the tale was different
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep q
steady stream Of wheat and flour NOV
Ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus of
2O,OOO,OOO bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
famine-and in Europe bread Is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
OF the year We had managed to ship q
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only If we sent an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July / could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response Of the American peo-
pie was S5,0OO,OOO bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January 1 and
July 1. Out Of harvest which gave
US only 100000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141, 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.
