C., Sept. 14— There is no immediate pros pect of United States sending food to Great Britain and France, al though the first reaction to the war's start was a sharp increase in retail prices to American con sumers in the face of surpluses of everything. Later, and soon, the farmers and stockmen will receive better prices—now going to pro cessors. wholesalers and retailers entirely. Conditions at the opening of the second World war are quite differ, ent from the first "war to make the world safe for democracy” and "a war to end all wars.” Wheat acreage, for example, is far great er today; there is a larger supply of livestock. Great Britain already has made contracts with Argen tina for beef (same canned meat over which there was a contro versy a few weeks ago when Presi dent Roosevelt said it was a better product than the American ar ticle). Canada and Australia have large wheat crops; sugar is being produced in British colonies; Ire land (neutral) is in the sugar beet industry in an important way. Wheat carryover in all wheat growing countries is enormous. Australia has a heavy store of wool. However, there will be a de mand by the allies for fats. To what extent food supplies reach Great Britain and France will depend on the scope of the submarine warfare against British flag ships carrying food cargoes. £HE FIRST football battle of the 1939 season here will be waged at 8 o’clock tonight, Sept. 15, on the high school field when the strong Lakeview Honkers and the Ashland high Grizzlies clash in Ule initial game fur both squads.
