Too Much Wheat Canada's Problem

"WHILE Europe queues up for bread, the best hard
" wheat in the world dams up in Canada" writes
John MacConnac, author of canada: Americas
Problem, in the current Rotarian magazine. "The
World War was the great day Of the Canadian wheat
farmer" he recalls, but hastens to add: "The new
world war is not the old one"
The $40 crop of 561 millions bushels IS just a
trfle under the 1928 record, writes this Canadian
journalist and to this must be added the carryover
of 273 million bushels And though the American
farmer has, like the Canadian wheat grower felt
the pinch of drought and the increase, last year,
through good rains 85 percent of his crop is con-
sumed in the country of origin, whereas over Is per-
cent of Canadas crop is exported.
Granaries are bulging with the grain, and though
about half is sold to Britain most of it is still stored
in Canada. Of the wheat importing nations Of the
Continent which used to take 400 million bushels,
only Spain and Portugal will this year be allowed to
get any.
Thus, the problem is not only of what acreage
of wheat to produce, but of storing the surplus as
we'll. The increasing industralization of the Unit
ed States has removed it from serious competitor
in world markets. and it is probable that Russia will
follow the same path MacCormac indicates.
What will happen after the present war is any
body's guess Canada will still have to compete
with Australia and the Argentine in world markets.
and though the Continent of Europe will need about
400 million bushels year and the United Kingdom
another 225 million bushels, the outlook for COM
plete consumption of an unlimited crop is none too
happy. And in the meantime-the Continent can
not be reached.

LED INTO ROOM

The bowed and shaking brothers
were led into the room, guided to
their new positions and seated.
Kennedy quickly strapped the
glove on unprotesting Amelio'S
right hand. The room again was
darkened and the protector turned
on. The needle moved steadily
across the dial
Then Kennedy was speaking.
His voice was low.

needle moved steadily.

to the stand and retold his moving

The needle showed no variation.
Then Goldberg stepped down
and pointed to Amelio as the man
who shot him.
His finger was not foot from

TURNS HEAD TO BROTHER

Cowley walked slowly back to
Amelio, and the court was sur
prised to see Frank turn his head
in his brothers direction.
1t was the first sign of interest
either of the pair had exhibited
in days.
Suddenly Cowley seized Amelio's
head and bent it to one side. His
fingers delved into a dirty ear.
The next moment he had sprung
away and was rushing to the
bench, He waved a tiny object in
one hand.
There II Is. Your Honor"
he cried. "A rubber ear plug.
It was wedged In so tightly he
couldn't hear word we said
here. Look I'm his other ear.
Look In Franks ears"
But by this time Frank himself
had done the job. He had seen
what happened to Amelio and he
got the plugs out of his own ears
in short order.
Well, the ubilant young man

For the immediate future every
thing hinges on the battle of Britain,
and so long as Britain receives ever
growing quantities of airplanes, guns
and other war materials from the
United States the battle of Britain
will not be over in hurry. The
British people are steeled-as never
before in hundreds of years of their
history-for suffering. anguish, de-
struction and something else. The
something else is the full price of
freedom. They are not only steeled
for it, but prepared to pay and now
trained to fight.
Beside this dominant, all-embrac-
ing factor, speculation about future
strategical possibilities shrivels to
its merited proportions. We have
seen what the British people are
capable of doing and enduring for
eight months now. l am convinced
that what we shall yet see will dwarf
all they have done since last June.

Committee 10 Guard
Against Increase
In VenereaI RATE
Army and Navy Group
Hears Discussions by
Prominent Physieions

The joint Army and Navy Welfare
and Recreation Committee was on
notice today to guard against an
expected increase in the venereal
rate in the services as a result of
the mobilization.
Experience has repeatedly shown
that venereal incidence rate always
rises in armies and navies with a
large influx of new recruits" DR..
Earl Moore of the National Research
Council told the committee yester-
day. He reminded that such diseases
are among the most important med
ical problems which confront our
forces.
Surg. Gen. James C. Magee of the
Army said that much remains to be
done to reduce in the rapidly ex-
panding army the already low in
cidence rate of only 40 cases Of
venereal disease per 1000 men. The
problem of control, he said must be
looked upon "aS being more than
just an Army interest as it is one of
the great general concerns of the
Nation"
DR.. Moore quoted World War
records to show that our own Army
and Navy had $4,000 cases of vene-
real disease, accounting for a loss
of days equivalent of the absence
of duty of 81 900 men for a full year" ("
One of the necessary control
measures, he warned the committee.
is the vigorous repression of social
vices in communities close to Army
and Navy stations.
Segregated districts and isolated
brotl1els should not be tolerated, -
he said, "and fragrant solicitation on
the streets, in cabarets, dance halls
and honkey tonks by trailer girls
should be vigorously repressed"
DR.. w. F. Draper, acting surgeon
general of the Public Health Service
said conditions are better now
than 20 years ago. He warned, how
ever, that governmental health
agencies are unable to meet ade-
quately the increased demands
placed on them by the national de-
fense program without additional

Mr.. Procope thanked Americans

Finland was particularly grateful to

The envoy stressed the fact that
Finland. though reduced geographic

quered country still her own
master" he declared, adding that
the help given his country by the
United States and other free coun-
tries was an indication of some
thing deeper than charity"
To illustrate the imminence Of
starvation in Finland, Mr.. Procope
read from a list of rationed foods.
This revealed that Firms are al

ounces of butter each week, a half

he said.
