DREADNoUGHTS OF LOVE

The United States is today glutted
with foodstuffs Of all kinds. Grain
markets and livestock markets are
flooded with the products Of the farm
until the prices have dropped beyond
reason. Farmers who have produced
this abundance of food cannot even
market their grain except at a loss.
According to accurate statistics there
is at present a surplus Of 700, 600, 900
bushels of % that we cannot eat,
sell. feed or dispose OF at home. This
country can find no possible use for
this immense quantity Of corn, except
in some instances where 1t Is being
used for fuel.
In contrast to the situation in this
country, Europe presents a view Of
a sea of upturned faces crying for food.
Millions are starving and will die of
hunger for lack of the surplus food
which we have and which, because of
the foreign credit and exchange stu
alton we cannot dispose Of on foreign
markets. Millions Of mothers in Eu-
rope are praying that we help save
their babies. What is there for us
to do?
The United States has willingly many
times built warships that cost $45, 900,
600 each. Two or three are under con
struction at present. AS a result Of
the arms conference it is likely thai
they will be ~serapped. Suppose there
fore that congress appropriate one
hundred million dollars, the cost oil
two warships, for the purchase of corn
and hog products for the relief OF
starving Europe, Such a course would
be a practical, humane, Christian and
business like proposition of untold
benefit to every person in Europe and
the United States. For the cost OF
two b~attleships we can furnish a fleet
of dreadnoughts loaded with love and
