RETURN OF TRADING FACILITIES
EUROPE'S MOST URGENT NEED
Grain Corporation Representative Says
Real Distress Will Disappear After
Coming Harvests Abroad

NEW YORK, August 16.-Confident
that Europe is willing and able to work
out its own salvation and that it's peo-
pies, anxious TO return to normal pro-
ductive labor, are doing so as rapidly
as possible. John D. Shanahan of the
United States Grain Corporation, who
returned this week from abroad, de-
clared that Europe's greatest need is the
restoration of her transportation sys-
| TENS and the resumption of normal
! trade facilities between communities
and peoples.
At the direction of julius H. Barnes,
United States wheat director, Mr.
Shanahan went abroad last May to
gather first hand and expert data re-
| lating to the acreage and probable GUAM
! titles of food grains to be realized from
| the European harvests this year, for
the information of the wheat director.
He was accompanied on his trip abroad
! by Harry V. Harlan and E. C. Boerner,
| representing the federal department of
agriculture. Mr.. Boerner returned with
Mr. Shanahan.
Countries They Visited.
More than 5000 miles of European
! wheat territory were covered by Mr.
Shanahan and his party in automobiles,
starting from Paris and travelling to
Mount Gems pass in the Alps, thence
across northern Italy, southeastern
Europe, the Balkans, north through
Poland and into Russia. Returning, they
passed through CzechoslovaEia Austria,
Germany, Belgium, Holland and north
ern France.
Discussing social and economic condi-
tons in Europe as they were brought
home to him in his tour, Mr.. Shanahan
said:
THE two great needs of Europe to-
day are the return to normal productive
labor and activities and the establish
I ment of diplomatic and trade relations
between the various countries, which
will, Of course, tend to counteract the
more or less pernicious psychology de-
veloped by the war and hasten a reali-
cation Of peace and stable government
Following, or closely connected with the
regoing, is the need for the immediate
| rehabilitation of the railways, canals
and other means and facilities of trans
port and distribution, which were all
more or less destroyed or disorganized
by the war.
II was particularly impressed with
the effects of broken and disorganized
| distributing facilities on the living
conditions in the various sections of
Europe" Mr.. Shanahan continued.

Col. Teusler was sent to Siberia last
summer as commissioner for the
American Red Cross. At that time
the services of the Red Cross were
applied to the relief OF the Czecho-

vicinity. Later in the winter, with
the establishment of the Trans

definite relief work for the Russian

soldiers. Col. Teusler 10 returning to

Some sections of the country dis
tricts of southern Europe. with the
new harvest, are now fairly well sup
piled with food and prices are reason
able. In the cities broken distribution
channels create distress through high
prices.
Cost of Average Meal.
"a good average meal in Vienna
costs from So to SIS; in Paris. from So
to $3.50: in London, from S2.75 to 49,
while in Slavonia and the Banat coun-
try of old Hungary good average
meals can be obtained in the smaller
towns for IS cents to 81. and in the
cities at $3.50 to So.
I'VE travelled in two automobiles
over more than $500 miles. found the
roads generally good and were mired
only once-at an approach to a ford
where the bridge. which had been
rebuilt.
When 1 left America" Mr.. Shana-
san said. Il had an idea, gathered
from general reports. that all Europe
was more or less a seething caldron
Of distress and anarchy. and that
things, generally. had gone to the
dogs. 1t was, therefore, a source of
constant surprise to me to find at
least 80 per cent of the tillable acre
age of Europe planted, although lack
or fertilizers, unfavOrable season in
some sections and the lack of proper
tools for tillage will initiate against
a normal production on this acreage.
The disturbances, on which the
thoughts of our people have been con-
centrated since the armistice are con-
fined to few congested centers, such
as Budapest. and a comparatively
small section in eastern Galicia and
eastern Poland
Food Relief Results.
The salvation of humanity gener-
ally in Europe during the armistice, /
am convinced. was the food relief pro-
vided through American initiative
The hope and backbone of Europe is
the peasant, who, with the turmoil
and stress of war raging about him,
and in many cases without adequate
implements and tools in whole sec
tions, has succeeded, where it was at
all possible. in cultivating at least 30
per cent of the tillable soil In many
places his work is in evidence right
up to the trenches and firing lines
Broadly speaking, 7 think real dis
tress in Europe, as far as food grains
are concerned, will disappear after the
present harveSts. Some sections may
need help before the harvests of 1920,
but with improved distribution facil-
tiles and better trade relations i'm
ports into Europe of food grains may
be confined largely to the customary
importing countries"
