KEPT PLEDGE TO SEND BREAD American Nation Maintained Al lied Loaf Through Self Denial at Home Table. AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR Wth Military Demands Upon Ocear Shipping Relieved, World Is Able to Return to Normal White Wheat Bread. Since the advent of the latest wheal crop the only limitation upon Ameri can exports to Europe has been the shortage of shipping. Between July 1 and October 10 we shipped 65,980,30, bushels. If this rate should continue until the end of the fiscal year we wil have furnished the Allies with more than 237,500,000 bushels of wheat and flour In terms at wheat. The result of increased productiou and conservation elofrts in the Unite< States has been that with the cessa tion of hostilities we are able to re turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies that have accumulated In Australia Argentine and other hitherto inacces sible markets may be tapped by shipi released from transport service, an< European demand for American whea probably will not exceed our norma surplus. There is wheat enough avail able to have a white loaf at the com mon table. But last year the tale was different Only by the greatest possible saving and sacrifice were we able to keep 1 steady stream of wheat and flour mov ing across the sea. We found our selves at the beginning of the harves year with' an unusually short crop Even the most optimistic statisticiam figured that we had a bare surplus o: 20,000,000 bushels. And yet Europe was facing the probability of a bread famine-and in Europe bread is by far the most important article in the diet. All of this surplus had left the country early In the fall. By the firs of the year we had managed to ship a little more than 50,000,000 bushels by practicing the utmost economy a home-by wheatless days, wheatles meals, heavy substitution of othei cereals and by sacrifice at almos every meal throughout the country. In January the late Lord Rhondda then British Food Controller, cabled that only If we sent an additional 75, 000,000 bushels before July 1 could he take the responsibility of assuring hiF people that they would be fed. The response of the American peo pie was S5,000,000 bushels safely deliv cred ox crseas between January 1 an< July 1. Out of a harvest which gave us only 2).000,000 bushels surplus w< actually shipped 141,000.000 bushels. Thus did America fulfill her pledg that the Allied..bread rations could bE ma~:intained, a::d already the Americar i:eople are demonstrating that,'witl an awakened war conscience, las years figures w: I be bettered. +.

Sending to Europe 141,000,000 bust els of wheat from a surplus of appal ently nothing was the outstanding e3 plolt of the American food army in th critical year of the war.
