to eat pork and it is pork with capital
"P" for the American hog this year. Due to
the period of soft corn, hogs range fifty to

dubious of his success in putting over fat
hogs on the civilian populations of the British

Mr. Hoover's persuasive spell, according to
those who accompanied him, including Joseph
p Cotton. head of the meat division of the
food administration They expect a new
American invasion of Europe in the form of
the American porker
After press cables today announced Mr..
Hoovers arrival the food administration

companied by James w. Bell, head Of the

Mr.. Hoovers chiet purpose tsy to confer
with the food authorities of the European
Allies in order to ascertain their requirements
and to determine the program necessary on
this side of the ocean in order to meet these
requirements.
Dr. Alonzo Taylor. of the food adminstra-
ton, a Phiadelphian who has wide experi-
ence with the food problems in Europe since
the outbreak of the war there, preceded Mr.

CANAL MAY MENACE
CITY WATER SUPPLY
Chief Davis Fears Sea-Level
Project Would Admit Salt
Into Upper Delaware

A sea-level canal across New Jersey
would, in the opinion Of Chief Davis. of
the Bureau of Water. form a menace to
Philadelphia's water supply. Delegates
to the Atlantic Deeper Waterways con.
vention at Boston next week will insist
upon locks being included in any canal
plan so as to keep salt water out of
the upper Delaware River.
The new plan. it is feared. would
pump salt water into the Torres
dale filtration plant. making bracksh
supply that would ultimately lead to
the abandonment of the costly plant
Director Webster. of the Department
of Wbarves. Docks and Ferries. one
of the city's representatives at the
coming convention, said that under
similar conditions Panama City's supply
from Miraflores Lake was ruined by
braCkish water and had to be abandon
ed for another and far more distant
and costly supply.
Governor Edge, who adopted the sea-
level waterway as a part of his legis-
lative program and had enabling laws
passed two winters ago, declared to-
day at Trenton that he was delighted
with official recognition of this project
from 50 high a Federal source.
II firmly believe that Secretary Red
fields recommendation will serve as an
opening wedge and be the means of our
finally securing that Federal co-opera.

Service Commission Asks if New
Lease Is to Affect Fares

Officials of the Philadelphia Rapid

plain whether or not the company con-
templates using any lease it may enter

wedge in this whole lease, and other
details that will enable the commission

p. r. Il. contemplates under the lease
The request concludes with the definite
demand for premise in these words:
And finally, as to the approval of

sion. it is desired that you consider and
reply to the following question: VIII

law is it your opinion, that the COM
pany can stipulate, that II the contract

BILLION TRADE JUMP
WITH LATIN AMERICA
Last Fiscal Year Shows Enor.
nous Increase Over Pre-
War Commerce

The Latin-American commerce of this
country during the fiscal year, 1918
show a bllion-dollar increase over
the trade Of 1914, the last year be-
fore the outbreak of the war, according
to n statement received today by the
Philadelphia Bourse from the Pan
American Union at Washington.
1t is pointed out that the United
States exports to. and imports from,
Latin America reached $1,75O,00O, 900
during the fiscal year just ended, as
compared with $75O,000,O00 four years
ago. an expansion in business I'M
nrecedented in the history of the world.
Exports grew from $2sO,o0o,oO to
s720. 900, while imports increased
from S47O.00O. 900 to $1,000. 100000. The
total increase is 235 per cent.
The statement was prepared by John
Barrett. director general of the Pan
American Union. After placing stress
on the importance of this commerce,
he strikes a note of caution against
overconfidence regarding the future.
These figures must not encourage
false hopes as to United States trade
of the future" he says. This excep-
tional growth is due largely to, first.
the supplanting by the United States
of the trade of the Central Allies. sec
ond the caring by the United States for
that portion of the trade of Great Brit
ain. France. Belgium, Italy and of Hol-
land and other neutrals. for which they
themselves, under war conditions, could
not possibly provide; third, the heavy
war demands of the United States and
the Allies expressed through the United
States for the raw products of Latin
America, and the war demands of the
latter for such manufactured products of
the United States as were formerly OBJ
tained from Europe in considerable guam
titles"
