The enormous gala In our exports shows how other nations are Increasingly looking to us to sustain them. Although our exports may occasionally decline, still on the whole there is every probability of their increasing, not only during the war but after the war. Large areas of Europe are depopulated and devastated. Many of the rich sections Including almost all of the producing areas of Russia, are In the Germans possession. Conditions in Russia are The western European allies produced chaotic. In 1917 about 222.000,000 bushels less than the anr nual average.

We need ample ships on the Pacific to . - serve China, Japan, the Philippines, All of these countries as Russia and Australia. well as Central and South America, have materials or products which we need just as they need ours. Australia recently had a surplus stated to be 800,000,000 bushels of wheat and another big surplus In process of gathering. There was enough, in fact, to feed England and France for a year. But It was of no practical use to tha allies. There were no' vessels to be spared for the long haul which takes eight or ten weeks from Australia to England. Last year there was a surplus In Java of 1,000,-00tons of sugar which other parts of the world needing badly could not get because of lack of ships. Great heaps of coffee were spoiling on the East Indian wharves. There was no shipping to move It to other, countries. , Pyrites, which was badly needed here, could not be brought from Spain because of the want of ships. These are bnt a few examples of what a ship famine means. Besides the many millions of tons of shipping needed for the purposes already described, there is also the pressing necessity for multiplying the number of ships, tugs and barges for domestic coastwise, lake and Inland waterway n. These are of the most vital importance to the farmer. Our Inland, lake and coast waterways can be used to transport vast quantities of wheat and other products, and of all kinds can be sent back on the freight return trip. This transportation will be cheaper to the farmer and greatly tends to relieve railway congestion.
