ENGLANDS MEAT

briefly summarized from British ofh-
ciaI reports. as follows:
Wheat-No difficulties are expected
by England in obtaining sufficient
su pplies, because the competition for
worlds supplies will depend upon the
purchasing power of European coun-
tries, most of whom are forced to re-
strict purchases far below normal
needs owing to lack OF credits. For
! ms lance, Italy has cut down cereai
imports to half those Of last year.
Britain has the strongest purchasing
power in Europe, and IL Is depreci-
| ated by 20 per cent.
Mea1-A gIut rather than a short
age Of imported meat is expected for
England, who, because of her imam
ciaI position. will be the buyer for
most of Europe.
Wool-No scarcity is expected ex-
cepi for the inner varieties. Australian
and New Zealand clips up to the mid =
die of 1920 have been bought by the
British government. and negotiations
are proceeding for later supplies.
Paper-There is a heavy paper pulp
shortage in Norway, Sweden. and
Canada. the principal producing
countries today. This is due TO rapid
development and enlargement OF
newspapers since the armistice and
the great demand for Canadian pulp
in the United States. British papers
will soon be forced to reduce their
size. Ninety per cent of them already
are less than half the size OF American
newspapers.
