e, the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, June l8.-The
wartime shortage of bananas was
explained here today by the United
Fruit Co. in statement which said
that after the company had de-
livered to the Government all ships
suitable for expeditionary supply its
importations of bananas had fallen
off so per cent.
In pre-war days this company
brought to the United States about
so per cent of the bananas con-
sumed, most of the punches coming
from Central America and the
Caribbean area and entering
through Atlantic and Gulf ports.
Joseph w. Montgomery, company
manager, said today that coffee i'm
portations from that area had in
creased since the outbreak of war,
but that banana importa tions now
amount to one-half of pre-war
quantity.
Going South the company ships
carry tons of defense materials every
month. Coming North, they pick up
bananas, coffee, cocanuts, tropical
woods, hides-importation of which
by the United States is vital to the
economic life and stability of these
Central American republics.
I'm accordance with a recently
concluded arrangement with the
War Shipping Administration, all
United Fruit ships of sufficient size
and fuel capacity to feed expedi-
tionary forces are in the course of
delivery to the Government. This
will leave the company a small share
of it's pre-war tonnage, with which
to continue and maintain economic
relations vital to the existence of
our Central American Allies.
The ships which the company re-
tains will consist of the old units
of limited cargo and fuel capacity.
These ships are specially constructed
and cannot handle bulk cargo or
units of large dimensions.

Ceiling on Worsted
And WooIen Fabrics
Issued by 0PA
Poves Way for Order
On Mems Suits and
Overcouts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BY issuing a price ceiling on
worsted and woo!en fabrics, with
prices lowered as much as Is cents
a yard in some cases, the Once
of Price Administration yesterday
paved the way for a special ceiling
order. expected shortly, on mems
suits and overcoats.
The new order also included an
inducement to mills to mix at least
25 per cent OF rayon or cotton in
their fabrics. This was in the form
Of price premium for such blended
goods.
The lowered manufacturers and
jobbers prices on fabrics probably
would be reflected In the special
mems clothing order which, 1t was
understood. would control prices at
the retail and wholesale as well AZ
the manufacturers level. Mems
clothing prices now come under the
universal price ceiling.
The new order on worsteds and
woolens sets individual ceilings fol
each mill by going back to the mills
price in its last selling season and
added specified percentages OF
markup to cover increased costs
from that time up to March. 1912
Whether or not blending should
be forced upon the industry by a
mandatory order was under discus
sion in a closed conference yester-
day between industry representa-
tives and War Production Board
oficials. WPB has been studying q
compulsory blending program, to
conserve the Nations wool supply
but the plan has been opposed by
the mills
Those attending the session made
no announcement at its conclusion
but it was understood the industry
men had presented to WPB plans
for a voluntary blending program

Full Production Termed
| Farmers Part in War
2, tht Associated Press.


Secretary of Agriculture Wick
and said last night that full pro-
duction of food and fiber crops at
stable prices was the farmers spe-
cialized part in helping to win the
war.
In a talk prepared for broadcast
| by the Mutual Network, he told how
his department was releasing Gov
ernment-owned surplus wheat and
corn at prices below parity to en-
courage greater production of live
stock, dairy and poultry products
and to provide grain for making in
dustrial alcohol used in the manu-
facture Of explosives and synthetic
rubber.
Now there is a move in the
House" the Secretary said, Ito lock
up those grain reserves and not let
them out below parity. At first
glance that might seem logical. for
parity returns are important to all
farmers. But the fact is that grain
farmers do get full parity returns
Government payments to then
make up the difference between
market prices and parity"
Wickard said the House move
would hamper the Government in
using its own grain to make rub
ber. and would force dairy. live
stock and poultry farmers to either
to cut down their production or in
crease their prices"
The choice would be between
falling short in war production OF
heading toward imitation" he said
Either course would be ruinous."
