CAN WE GET GRAIN ACROSS.

Wit. “THE WAR. DEMAND. “FOR Foon. Paopiiee BENEFIT, AS IT MIGHT, THE FARMER OF ‘CANADA.

ats a first glance we should all. say that given. a bountiful harvest in the wheat growing provinces that the demand brought about: by- the war for food. must surely be the farmer’ § opportunity,

France keeping her grain for her own needs, with the British Isles, ever a substantial custom- er, with Austria and Servia and all warring na- tions to be fed that the present‘is Canada’s oppor- tunity. with wheat if we may not gain the benefit. One man’s extremity is another’s opportunity. This applies to nations as well as individuals.~ :

We have the wheat. No doubt of that. Amer- ica is reaping a bumper crop, and quite the larg- est in many years. But can we deliver the goods. It is entirely a question, for there is now a world shortage of ships, such as can and may carry bulk grain as cargo. Britain, which owns more than sixty per cent of the freight carrying tonnage of the world has her vessels just now scattered over all oceans. While a call will and is bringing these to the carrying line, it will be months before they are within helping distance. Even when in the. service they run large risks. Any nation carry- ing contraband of war in its own vessels does so at the risk of loss of ship, cargo and crew. What is needed just now is ample freight-carrying-cap- acity vessels owned and sailed by non-combatants. Then the risk may. be confined to possible loss by confiscation, alone.

That which intervenes as a factor in the prob- lem is the leading upward of the cost of marine insurance. The usual risks of storm and tempest are ever serious in time of peace, and with other ‘dangers distinctly emphasized in time of war. All The rates are markedly enhanced. The carrying charges are more than doubled. So.that when laid down at the portof discharge the cost of the grain will have climbed. ‘There is probably not a nation in the world that would have done. what England did in the first days of the war. Her. Liverpool buyers:had contracted for seventy mil- lion bushels of ‘grain from Canada,-America and Argentina. Underwriters dare not take the im- mense war risk. TheBritish government puar- anteed the insurance on all these cargoes of grain. The United States is to-day at wits. end to have the ocean lanes kept open that its products may be sold at most remunerative prices, and that it may have delivered its immense crop of wheat,

corn and oats, — .

It is on England that the. ‘States depend to En- gland can and is: doing this, \ Her cargo carriers ean. ply the sea’ under her- protection and if- ves- sels cross the ocean convoyed- by British men-of- war protecting American’ goods for English: de- livery the Americans will realize, what their nat- ional egotism wiil only grudgingly admit that after] all the whole world is indebted to England as the, international policeman, able to afford protection as no other nation may do, in time of emergency and distress. Such action cannot but-serve to draw the two branches of the Anglo-Saxon race, British and American, together closer than ‘they. have ever been before. = _

‘Only one of two conclusions i is possible. | Either the war will be: comparatively. short and terrible

and territory adjoining must go up to famine fig- ures. .The Canadian and: American farmer may not be able to. reap the monetary advantage tha might. come. to him-in his. possession of the grain,

with it now. . Inability to-deliver the. goods inter- venes, . That obstacle may: be: removed presently, and if: so ‘by. ‘the. only nation that can’ 1 unravel the

Britain. if we do not destroy the German fleet by. fighting, must insist upon the surrender of that fleet, for without the destruction or surrender of it, any peace would be a hollow sham.”’
