slider the meaning Of the phenomenon
in the United States, where there is
no food shortage but an exportable
surplus. The food supply is abOva
normal, and yet the prices have adj
vanced almost proportionately with
the increase in Great Britain. which
is largely an importing country. This
curious situation makes one realize
that in estimating food prices the eco
monte effects peculiar to foodstuffs are
not the determining factor, but eco
homie conditions as a whole.
"There seems TO be a tendency in
many countries to eXpend war wages
and profits on consumption-goods
food. clothing, etc.-to a greater ex-
tent than on the purchase of raw ma
terials for the extension of industry.
II may be partly due to this consump-
lion that goods on the whole have
such an upward trend since the ar
laistice."

in the way of foodstulfs, and when
the time comes for them to buy it will
be impossible to refuse them their
fair share OF what the world produces.
There is another factor to be con-
sidered also. Where production has
been stimulated during the war it
must ultimately revert to normal. 1t
Is not natural as 1t stands. In the
United States, for instance the meat
production has been artificially slim
ulated, and it is hard to estimate when
this temporary condition will vanish.
America next year may be an import
er of meat, instead of a big exporter.
See what that would mean to the rest
of the world.
ION the other hand. production has
been crippled in many countries.
Shortage in Europe.
"In Europe as q whole, there is an
actual shortage of II per cent in sheep
and larger shortage in pigs. Be
cause of this Europe would have to
import 100000 tons of meat this
coming year, If 1t were to return to
its pre-war consumption.
''In regard to wheat the exportable
surplus of the world is down COM
pared with that before the war. In
port requirements at the same time
are up. The same thing is true of
butter, and In some countries its con-
sumption has been increased by the
lack Of margarine. There is also
sugar shortage. The beet sugar pro-
duction has dropped off 100000 tons
