Animal League Picks Up
Only $40 Kittens in Month

The kitten situation, which was
getting pretty much out of hand
last month when 1925 were picked
up as strays, has improved some
what this month with only $40
netted thus far, the Washington
Animal Rescue League reported to-
day.
The reason for the decline was not
Immediately apparent.
But if Washington is swarming
with kittens, the dogs, puppies and
cats are not far behind. The league
has taken in 24l cats, followed
f1guratively as we'll as literally by
ia dogs. Only So stray puppies
found themselves in league custody.
Thirteen creatures of miscel-
laneous types were brought to league
headquarters. II O street NV. They
included squirrels, pigeons, rabbits
and small birds, all injured and
needing care.
All told, September has netted the
league a bumper crop of l.096
animals, while the Tail Waggers'
Club reported 1910 animals were
treated there.

1946-47 Food Exports.

Last years exports included 1415
million long tons of grain more
than $50 million bushels. Wheat
and -four in wheat equivalent, made
up nearly 400 million bushels of this
total. with corn, oats, barley, rye
and grain sorghums accounting for
the rest. In terms of food calories.
grains represented nearly SS per
cent of all export shipments.
This year there will not be avail
able. under conditions now pre-
vailing. as large a volume of grain
for shipment. 1t now seems likely
that about 400 million bushels of
wheat and flour will be available
for export-about the same as last
year. However, the total of other
grains and grain products estimated
to be available for shipment this
year are not much more than one
third the quantity exported during
1946-47-about 10 million bushels as
compared with ITS million bushels.
Corn exports will have to be limited
almost entirely to the 10 million
bushels bought last spring and
moved out during July and August.
Barley, grain sorghums, oats and
rye will make up the rest of the
expected 10 million bushels of these
course grains"
In arriving at these estimates, the
probable price effects of exports at
various levels were given careful
consideration. The undesirable re-
suits of price spiral, with impacts
both at home and abroad, are
apparent.
Present indicated domestic use of
grain would leave about 470 million
bushels 12.3 million long tonsl of
all grain for export-more than two
million long tons short of last years
record shipments. (See following
table showing availa bility of grain.

utilization of 1947-4s United States

Food Statement and Report

Of unfavorable weather conditions at
critical periods in the development
of their 1947 crops. Similar condi-
tions in this country have produced
a serious drop in our own corn pro-
duction with the result that there
will undoubtedly be strong tempta-
ton to feed more wheat to live
stock. This will reduce the avail
ability of United States grain for
export shipment more than 1000 900
tons below last years level unless
additional positive action is taken.
We wish to make entirely clear our
feeling that the rate of exports which
can now be definitely planned is not
enough in view of the increased
needs In the deficit areas abroad.
Even If we could approximate the
level OF last years shipments, other
countries would still be left in a diff
ficult food supply situation.
The difficulty of attempting to en-
large our grain exports beyond what
is now indicated lies in the domestic
problems resulting from high prices.
We are already faced with the need
for vigorous action to prevent a fur
ther inf1ationary price spiral.
Special Committee Recommended.
In these circumstances, we rec
ommend number of measures to
help meet the situation. Some of
these are embodied In the report:
others have been discussed with
you verbally
We. the American people, must
conserve our use of grain, in food
and in animal feed. so that addi-
tional supplies will be available for
meeting the most urgent needs of
other countries. The appointment
OF a special committee to develop
ways and means of carrying out q
successful conservation campaign is
recommended.
Other steps should include: In
creased exports of United States
foods other than grains; joint inter-
national efforts to assure maximum
food shipments from all exporting
countries; further efforts bv import
ing countries to increase their own
collections of food, and the chan
neling OF exports to the most crit
ical areas.
We wish to emphasize that the
most important immediate measure.
however, and the only one which can
both increase the available supplies
and relieve inflationary pressures, is
an all-out drive for domestic con-
servation.

More Emphasis on Other Foods,

More Emphasis on Other Foods.
1t is obvious that the United
States will have to put more en-
phasis on shipments of foodstuff5
other than grain. A careful survey
of possibilities, which are regarded
as practicable under present cir
cumstances from the price and other
points Of view, shows that even then
we shall probably fall short of last
years total shipments unless ar
rangements can be made for ship
ment of supplies which are produced
in other countries. The movement
of substantial quantities of Cuban
sugar to food deficit countries is an
important Illustration of this possi-
bility.
The next table gives a rough esti-
mate of United States export avail
abilities of all foods for the 1947-s
year. It is broken down in terms of
calorie value, percentage for major
commodity groups and cost on a
calorie basis. The cost item, of

modities which conceivably might
be exported, but for which the
calorie cost would obviously be SO
great as to remove them from prac-
tical consideration, have not been
listed.
The table shows that the calorie
value of grains in the export pro-
gram this year would be only about
81 per cent Of the total. as COM
pared with sS per cent last year.
From the cost point of view the fol-
lowing listed commodities would
cost, at present prices, from 50
to IS per 100000 calories: Wheat,
-four. coarse grains, dry peas. lard
and edible oils. Cuban sugar also
falls in this price range) Foods
costing between $5 and $40 per
100000 calories would include
milled rice, dry beans, dried prunes,
raisins. peanuts and nonfat dry
milk solids. Most other dairy prod
ucts would range from SIS to $40
per 100000 calories. Concentrated
citrus juices would range between
$40 and $50. Practically all other
animal products and processed
fruits and vegetables would run con-
siderably higher than $50.

Statement on Aid to Europe

/. Following is the teri of a state
ment bu President Truman on
aid to Europe.
The Secretary of State has trans
mitted to me the ofilcial report of
the Committee of European Eco
nomic Cooperation, prepared by the
representatives of is nations who
have been meeting in Paris since
early July. At my request Secretary
Marshall is sending a message to the
chairman of the committee, Foreign
Minister Bevin. acknowledging re-
ceipt Of the report by the United
States Government.
AS the document itself states, it is
an initial report" and is subject
to review and revision. Nonetheless,
1t reflects an unprecedented effort
at economic cooperation by the 16
countries participating in the Paris
Conference. In the light of the
political tensions and the economic
instability in Europe. it is an i'm
portant and encouraging first step
that these nations had the initia-
tive and determination to meet to-
gether and produce this report.
The problem to which this report
is addressed not only underlies the
political and economic well being
OF Europe, but is also of key i'm
portance to stable peace in the
world. The people of the United
States recognize. as do the people
OF the European nations, that the
earliest practicable achievement of
economic health, and consequent
political stability. in Europe is of
utmost importance for the peace
and well-being of the world.
Four Lines Of Action.
I note that the program pre-
sented in the roptr is based on the
four following lines of action by the
16 European nations: Cd A strong
productive effort; (2). the creation
OF internal financial stability; 90,
maximum cooperation among the
participating countries, and %, a

the American continent, particu-
larly by exports. These are sound
principles and will appeal to the
common sense of the American peo-
pie. Their effective translation into
practice is vital. both to European
recovery and to worldwide eco
nomic health.
While the donation committee
has been meeting in Paris, the
United States Government has been
proceeding with complementary
studies on this side of the Atlantic.
Last June I appointed three COM
mittees to study the relationship be-
tween aid which may be extended
to foreign countries and the in
terests of our domestic economy.
One of these. headed by the Secre-
tary of the Interior, has been max
ing study of the state of our
natural resources. Another of these
studies, relating to the impact on
our national economy of aid to
other countries. is being conducted
