SAYS WORLD FACES
A WHEAT SHORTAGE
Secretary Hoover's Foodstuffs
Division Reviews Situation.
DECLARES STOCKS ARE LOW
Australia and Argentina Have Consid-
erabIy Less Than Last Year
Carry-Over in U. S. Will Be
Light-Canada Normal.

Washington, June 1O.-The world
faces shortage of wheat which will
begin to be felt at the end of the
month.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover's
foodstuffs division made public a state
ment to this effect, declaring that the
present situation indicates that the
world wheat stocks will be lower
than for several years by July l, as
both Argentina and Australia have
considerably less than last year, the
United States carry-over will be light
and only Canada has considerable
stocks on hand.
"The upward trend of European
consumption indicates a larger de-
mand than last year. whereas pros
poets are for a smaller crop. Until
next February the international trade
will be largely dependent for supplies
on North America and a limited guam
tity from India. With Russia out of
wheat is in a relatively strong posi-
ton"
In Course of Readjustment.
The world wheat situation has been
going through very much the same adj
justment during the past five years as
other agricultural products, especially
wool and cotton. All three commodi-
ties depended very largely in prewar
years on Europe to absorb the sur
plus. During the war European con-
sumption and production fell to
around three-quarters normal and re-
suited in considerable accumulation Of
SURPRISES at the end of hostilities.
at was generally expected in trade
circles that the surplus would be
quickly absorbed by Europe, but the
reduced buying power and the lower
standard of living forced by war con-
ditions were not fully considered.
World production and consumption
have been below average for the past
five years.
''It is probable that during the war
period the world outside of Europe
consumed nearly normal quantities Of
wheat, but the apparent consumption
of central and western Europe fell
from about 2,0O0,0O0000 bushels in
1913 to 1,2O0,OOO,0OO bushels in 1917
Tends to Reach Prewar Normal.
''This was due to decrease in both
production and in imports. Since 1917
there has ben a steady recovery in
production and in imports, the appar=
ent consumption reaching about l.
S5O,O00,0O0 bushels in 1921, with ap-
parently strong tendency to reach a
preWar normal"
Rice acreage has been increased in
Italy and corn production is holding
its own, according to the Department
of Commerce, and there is general re-
joicing throughout Italy over reports
that the garlic crop has suffered no
damage from severe rainy spell.
Both the onion and garlic harvests
will be above normal.
Unemployment is steadily decreas-
ing in both Great Britain and Italy,
the department states.

SEE |NTERvENT
IN CUBA BY j. 5.
Reported Entire Zayas Cabinet
Has Resigned.
FEAR A FINANCIAL CRASH
The American Observer, General
crowder, Is Doing All in His
Power to Avert Bankruptcy
of the Island.
FEAR A FINANCIAL CRASH

Havana, June 12.-The government
of Cuba is virtually in the control of
the United States. Intervention, while
still unofficial and indirect, is as potent
and effective as if internal Cuban af-
fairs were being personally directed
from Washington.
The entire cabinet of President
Zayas resigned. Havana sees in this
dramatic change, President Zayas' de-
termination to rule his government
along the lines declared necessary by
General Crowder, observer for the
American government, and thus stop
actual Intervention by the American
government. President Zayas and
General Crowder, it is said, are work
ing together in perfect harmony to
avert national bankruptcy.
Havana in a Turmoil.
Havana is in a turmoil of excite
ment. The late edition of the local
press, carrying big red headlines, are
announced the fail Of the island re-
public's cabinet. In the crowded cafes
along the Prado and in the parks
crowds congregated and rumors even
wilder than reported were heard.
Although no official statement has
been issued from the national palace
or by General Crowder information
coming from men closely associated
with recent events indicates that
General Crowder has submitted twelve
notes to President Zayas during the
last few days bearing upon the finan-
cial and political condition of the re-
public and pointing out certain Spe-
cific changes that must be made in or
der to prevent official American inter-
vention.
Eight of these notes, it is said, re-
ferrnd directly to the composition of
the cabinet. The other four bore on
the necessity of enacting the budget
law Immediately and passing other
remedial legislation.
Intervention Held Absurd.
Washington, June 12.-The exist
ence of a most serious situation" in
the financial and economic affairs of
Cuba was admitted at the State de-
partment, following publication of
press dispatches to the effect that
Intervention by the United States was
inevitable unless President Zayas sue
ceeded in restoring things to some
think like normal by the beginning of
the fiscal year, July l.
Department officials, however, char
acterized the statement as absurd
The situation in Cuba, it was stated
has been serious for some time, and
remains so, Notwithstanding the prog
ress which Zayas has made in cutting
down expenditures and increasing
revenues.
Commenting on unofficial reports
that Maj. Gen. Enoch III. Crowder,
special representative in Cuba of
President Harding, had submitted a
list of suggestions to President Zayas
for reforming certain tax laws, and
for further reducing the state eXpendi-
lures, department officials said Gen
eral CrOwder had been constantly
making suggestions for the betterment
of the situation during the year and a
half that he has been in Cuba.

BONUS BILL IS
GIVEN To SENATE
McCumber Presents Measure
Carrying S3,845, 659,481.
SPREADS 1T OVER 43 YEARS
Hopes 20 Avert New Tax Through Re-
duction in Expenditures Plus In :
terest Refunded on Foreign
Obligations, He Explains.

Washington, June 9.-The soldiers
bonus bill was formally presented in
the senate by Chairman McCumber of
the finance committee, with an accom-
panying report placing the probable
cost to the federal government at
$3,S45,659 4S1 spread over a period of
43 years from next January 1. This is
approximately $250,OO0,000 less than
the estimate under the house bill,
which was $4,O9S, 719,35O, payable
over 20 years.
I The senate bill estimate was pre-
pared by treasury experts, and is
based on the theory that IS per cent
of the 4.45S,199 veterans who would
be eligible for compensation would
select the adjusted service certificate
option 221a per cent farm, home and
land settlement aid, and 21a per cent
vocational training aid. Should all of
the veterans select the certificate plan
the total cost would be $4,4S6, 545.975.
Hopes to Avert New Tax.
With difference to financing the leg
islation, Chairman McCumber's report
said 1t was hoped that the reduction
in government expenditures plus the
payment of interest on the refunded
foreign obligations would be sufficient
to obviate the imposition Of additional
taxation.
Senator McCumber explained that
an attempt had been made to reduce
to minimum actual cash payments
under the bill during the next three
years, while the treasury is engaged in
refunding the nearly 81 O0O,OO0OO0 Of
maturing government obligations. The
estimated cost of the bonus for those
three years was $242, 100000
After it's presentation to the senate
the bonus bill went on the calendar,
where it will remain until there is an
agreement to call it up. Senator Nc
Cumber and some other proponents
desire early action. but several Re-
publican leaders are opposed to side
tracking the tariff bill, as they expect
the fight over the bonus to consume
at least a month and perhaps six
weeks.
Differs From House Bill.
This measure differs somewhat from
the house bill and very widely from
the bonus bill that was reported to
the senate last year and later sent
back to the finance committee at the
request of President Harding. The
most important change from the orig
inal measure is the elimination of the
cash bonus and reclamation features
AS now drafted The legislation would
give each veteran the right to select
any one of the plans.
The estimated cost for each of the
plans is $16OO0,0oO for the cash pay
ments; $3,364,909, 4S1 for the adjusted
service certificates; $412, 425,000 for
farm, home and land settlement aid
and $50, 1885, 900 for vocational training.
The expenses under vocational train
ing and the cash bonus would end in
1925, under this estimate, and those
for farm, home and land settlement aid
in 1929. Expenses under the certificate
plan would continue to 1866, with a
total of $3.50 991 $40 to 1913, when the
certificates would begin to fall due.
