Wheat Can Be Disposed

New York, Feb. 1.-Germany will
be allowed about 100000 bushels OF
breadstuffs a month, mostly from the
United States. under the general food
program outlined by the Allies, If she

to Julius H. Barnes. president of the
United States Grain corporation, and
made public here.
Between now and July i, the state
ment said, France and Italy will take
80,000.000 bushels of wheat and -four
from the grain corporation, while the
Allied governments will take also
about 75.000,000 bushels Of oats.
II restrictions are removed on cereal
imports to European neutrals they win

Can Dispose Of All Wheat.
"As we have already shipped from
the United States over 160,O00,OO0
bushels of wheat or flour. the Grain
corporation will easily dispose of all
wheat. with perhaps a small carry
over, II any, at the next harvest" the
cable said.
".The basis Of price OF all these
wheat sales included not only the
basic prices paid to the farmer, but
handling and storage expenses of the
Grain corporation. The Grain cor.
poration is, therefore. in strong po-
sition because farm sales are about
equal to its stock on hand and its
available $150,000.000 capital and the
corporation will emphatically maintain
the 1918 guaranty for which purpose 1t
was created
Pork Products for Germany.
"The Supreme Food council, under
military advice. has granted Germany
the right. to import 150,00O.000 pounds
of pork products per month as soon

shortage in pork production.
THE re-establishment of new mar.
kets and normal trading during arms
tice is slow and difficult. In order
to get over many OF the difficulties
of trading in flours and wheat during
the period Of the armistice, the Grain
corporation is establishing stocks for

an extent as the Shipping board can

United States Spent More Than
TWenty-six Billion Dollars
in q Months.
Big LOANS TO ALLIES
Unofficial Reports Place Cost Of Con-
flict to Great Britain During
Four Years at About
$40,64o, 900 900.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The Arleri-
can governments war expenses show
no sign of decreasing materially, ex-
cept in loans to the Allies, although
nearly three months have passed since
the signing of the armistice.
In January the Treasury paid out
about $1,000, 100000 for ordinary war
expenses exclusive of Allied loans, or
only $7O,00O.O0O less than in Decem-
Der; s55,0OO,OOO less than in Noyem-
Der and considerable more than in
any month heretofore.
The governments aggregate ex-
penses in the % months of war have
been S26,356, 100000, is was calculated.
This includes s7.s75,OOO,o 900 loaned to
Allies.
Latest unofficial reports place at
$40, GAO. 100000 the cost of more than
four years of war to Great Britain
including $5,553,000,000 loaned to her
Allies. From the same British source
also comes the'estimate that the war
has cost Germany s3S,750,000, 1000. of
which s2,250,000 was loaned to its
allies.
Payments Being Made Now.
Officials explained that this was not
to be taken as indication that produc-
ton of war materials is continuing at
the tremendous rate of several months
ago. Manufacturers are now present
ing their bills and receiving payment
for materials delivered long ago, how
ever. and this keeps up expenses.
This liquidation of war contracts to
be given added impetus after passage
OF pending legislation, providing for
valuation of informal orders, is ex-
pected to be new source of high
OUTLAWS for the next month or two.
New Loan Essential.
Payments to the Allies fell to about
$190, 100000 IN January. When these
loans were first instituted the govern.
ment contemplated turning over about
$500 100000 credits to the Allies every
month, but actual payments ordinarily
ran around $3s0,OO0,00 monthly.
The treasury cited figures on the
present government outlay to empha
size the necessity for another big wal
loan of five or six billion dollars ir
April. Current expenses now are paid
largely out Of borrowings from banks
and other purchasers Of the govern
ment's short term certificates of in
debtedness.
