EUROPE NEEDS MUCH GRAIN.
Much Of Supply Will Have to BE
Furnished by United States.

Paris, June "A preliminary sur
Vey or the import necessities Of Eu-
rope, except Russia, shows that the
area will need 700,0OO,OOO bushels
OF wheat and rye at a minimum, or
S50,000,00O bushels as possible
maximum, Herbert G. Hoover, head
OF the Allied Relief Organization,
said In statement issued to-day.
The export surplus of wheat and rye
from the larger exporting countries
indicate that the needs of Europe can
be met. Mr.. Hoover estimates the
exports Of the United States at 47O,-
100000 bushels. Consumption in the
United States has increased to re-
markable degree, he says.
Through our organization and in
cooperation with the various gov
ernments," the statement says, 1--WE
have completed preliminary survey
OF the food prospects Of Europe and
the import necessities, outside Rus
sia, for the harvest year, beginning
available to meet these demands.
1--WE estimate the total prospec-
tive European yield Of wheat and rye
outside Russia, as Of May |. after de-
ducting seed, at 100000 bush
els. This indicates crop Of about
n per cent Of pre-war normal. The
pre-war consumption, outside Of seed
was about 2.50O,O0O,0OO bushels, in
dicating net import of about $780,
100000 bushels If consumption were
norma! next year. The somewhat di-
minished populations, and the dimin-
ished buying power, initiate against
full normal consumption, but the
least possible consumption, with the
maintenance of public health, we
estimate at 1880, 100000 bushels, or
an import on a minimum basis of
about 700,000,000 bushels.
