GUARANTEE WHEAT PRICE IS NOT WORLD LEVEL Cheaper. Prieaa Xot Looked for Until i Nations of Europe, Are Ablatio Pro duce Own! Supply Report Based on ; Findings of -Crop Experts. Julius H. Barnes. United States wheat director, sums tip 1 the world's wheat situation as follows ; j t . "The government : crop -report. Issued on August 8, confirmed -my worst JTaars, showing a fall from the high prospect of 1.236,000.000 bushels, June 1, to 40,- 000. 000 bustiers prospect svs' of -August 1, in the United States Knowing that Canada has suffered a similar deterior ation, it is evident -that the expected surplus of North American wheat has been cut In; two. t "A survey of the bread grain crops of Europe and of Europe's minimum consumption reanire tnents, with the most favorable estimate) Justified of the surplus available -from-tho United -States. Canada, Argentina and Australia, indicates s most discomforting margin. Unquestionably, the supply and demand situation of the world is such that tha American guarantee price ia cer tainly not above a world level. . "I have been in accord with those "who felt that if the guarantee maintained wheat prices sbove the world value ot wheat, then that me sa ri re of Inflation should be charged against the na tional treasury aa a war expenditure and not as sessed upon the consumer. - In view of the disap pointing shrinkage in the bread grain crop of the world, and particularly, in America, that ia no longer s practical Question. The American peo ple, when they appreciate this. will. I conceive, accept it philosophically and pay their self re specting way to still another harvest, confident, aa I am, that before then the weapons of war in Europe will become instruments of production and thus reduce the call on American food. Exports Tsur Europe "The wheat director has had a party of crop experts in Eoropa. for three months. Traveling by snthomobile '5000 miles, from Paris, across Austria, Serbia, Itoumania into Russia, bsck through Poland. Caeeho-SJevskia, - Hungary, Ger many, Belgium sfid Northern France, in that en tire distance, only once, when their machine was mired for three hours in th lowlands of a river bank, did they base -any trouble- whatever, al though several times they eroased rail read bridges which had been re-planked to serve wagon travel aa well. Our conclusion ia that in many sections of Europe 90 per cant of Abe normal crop acre age has been put in against tremendous difficul ties, and probably the : average in Europe is above 76 per ceat, tn spite of lack of man power, implements sad horses a moat reassur ing commentary "on. the 'normal desire of man kind to work and g produce.- In some sections food is amnio, but ajstrihulioa to the congested centers is broken riot only by railroad and water transport disorganization, but also by political obstruction, still perpetuated by racial antagon ism. The showing is very hopeful and another year of peace will put thee people, tar n the road to complete self support. Expensive Poods Eaten "An equally astonishing development at home lies ia our own floor consumption. Our pre-war normal consumption was 235. pounds per capita per annum, which by the way is lower than in most coon tries of Europe. During the croc year just ended our- floor consumption in Amen. ca is no higher than 171 pounds per capita Wei are forced do tha conclusion that, with better spending power ia our people, they have gone to the more expensive foods, probably msata. The annual food bill of America is calculated, at $18, 000.000,000. A restoration of our normal fleur consumption to 236 pounds, and a displacement thereby of the . higher priced foods, would save our people fully $1,000,000,000. Food substitution during the war accom plished much, guided try the response of a war conscience. Is it possible to use tha newlv aroused social conscience and secure ' not only a reversion to 'our normal cereal consumption but perhaps an tacrease? By thus reducing the strain on other foods and thereby naturally eas ing the price which excessive demand has made. s savmg m trie ioou mil would reach beyond the actual difference in cost between meats and cereals. "For that section of tho public that proposes outright subsidy of food there ia only the reply that the act establishing the wheat director office did net contemplate nor authorise deliberate sab sidy of food and that that policy cannot be em barked upon without the unequivocal direction of congress."
