Staff Special.)
- WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 What
Is Uncle Sam going to do about meat?
Ho has fixed the wheat price, li
censed the miller and is regulating
Hie baker to reduce bread 20 to 25
percent.
lie has taken over the buying of
all sugar for ourselves and allies,
establishing a price and limiting prof
Its. He has fixed the mine prices of
coal and intends with strict super
vision to reduce the cost of fuel.
.No Miwt Price Fixing.
Is ho going to follow the same
course' with meats, at unprecedented
and prohibitive prices? If not, why
not?
The' answer to the first question
is short. He Is not.
There will be no arbitrary price
limit to the American farmer of stock
raises for his hogs, steers or sheep.
There will be no licensing of pack
ers, and supervision of middlemen's
profits, but the price of livestock is
to be left absolutely to supply and
dtnand.
Which means. In the opinion of
government experts, that 20-rcent ham
luid 2 5-cent porterhouse steaks have
gone, probably never to return.
For the world's big ment problem
today is not the price, but produc
tion. For the remainder of the war,
and probably for years thereafter,
the big fight will be the production
of sufficient meat at any price.
Figures gathered here show that
the world's supply of meat-producing
livestock has decreased 115,005,000
from pre-war numbers.
": v' Fewer Livestock.
There are 2S.0S0.000 fewer cattle,
22,425,000 fewer hogs, and 54.400,
000 fewer sheep. Hogs and cattle
liavo increased slightly In the United
States, but the unprecedented exports
lias more than offset this.
Our average meat shipments for
three years preceding the war totalled
4'J3.4S.000 pounds annually. In the
year ending June 30, 1916, our meal
exports reached 1,512,375,000 pounds
more than treble our normal ex
portsand the year ending June 30,
JS7. for exceeded this, exports of
pork alone totalling 1,441,105,000
pounds.
The two things that can relieve
the meat situation are:
I'so Fish ami Fowl.
The reduction of domestic con
sumption, by substitution of fish and
poultry and vegetable dishes.
Increased production of livestock
for meat purposes.
The former has been undertaken
liy the food administration; the latter
Is being urged by It and the depart
ment of agrlculturo.
Tho official opolnlon here, how
ever, Is that any attempt to fix live
stock prices at the farm would kill
nil chances of Increased herds. The
farmer and stockman must feel that
lj has a free market.
So far as possible, the consumer
will be protected by the elimination
of speculative profits, of excessive
middlemen's charges, and by better
distribution. Uut that's all.
Vi'lillo urging Increasing our meat
pupply, the government at the same
time must check the sale of mature
animals fit for breeding. Because
of high prices many farms have been
stripped of breeding hogs and cattle.
Mont to lU'innln Nigh.
As' a result our volume of dairy
produce has fallen off sharply while
nt tho same tlmo we must ship In
creasing nnmunts of buttorfat, cheese
mid condensed milk to our allies,
forced to sncrlflce their dairy herds.
As a feood dairy cow Is more valuable
In producing milk and butter, and
increasing dairy herds, than as beef,
the prices of milk and butter must
bo maintained high enough to Induce
the farmer to keep her, rother than
realize a large price for her as beef.
As an Indication of the hog prob
lem, a government census on SOOO
Kentucky farms shows only about
1 1,000 brood sows, obviously far too
low a ratio.
Even In the hog-ralslng sections
nf the middle west It has been found
impossible to get sufficient hogs to
consume the garbage of the various
nrmy;rantonments.
The ruble's hope, then, of any ap
preciable or early reduction In the
prices of meats. Is vain. Meats are
lows:

Zdyler, Introducing the new mem

urgent of which was food.
After promising to submit to tho
constitutional committee government
proposals for the reform of the con
stitution, aiming at equality of all
nationalities on a basis of national
autonomy, while preserving the unity
of tho state, the premier turned to
tho foreign policy, declaring that
"the basis of this, as heretofore, is
loyalty toward our allies,' and warned
those who thought they could serve
peace by carping criticism of the al
liance between the central powers,
that they merely encouraged the ene
my and thereby prolonged the war.
