that

soon
by

from
the

as
to
its
intentions
in

to
new
ship
construction
to
restore
its
service
on
the
Pacific
Coast
between
Vancouver
and
Prince
Rupert
and
on
to
Alaska.
There
can
be
no
complaint
here
at
the
action
of
the

in-having

The
world
is
facing
the
greatest
food
crisis
in
modern
times.
Meas-

There
is
no

The
causes
of
a
world-wide

of

are
the
devasta-

and
dislocation
of
the

both
in

O
the
war
produced
forty-two
million
tons
of
wheat
but.
only
twenty-three
million
tons
last
year.
Serious
repeated
droughts
have
affected
production
in
five
continents.
Droughts
in
1944
to
1945
seriously
reduced
the
harvests
in
Australia
and
Argentina;
North
African
production
was
similarly
affected;
adverse
weather
also
reduced
in
1945-46
the
harvest
in
South
Africa.
Another
factor
seriously
affecting
the
1946
crops
is
the
shortage
of
fertilisers
due
to
the
war.
Although
wheat
exports
from
the
new
world
and
Australia
this
year
will
reach
record
high
levels,
even
these
supplies
are
quite
insufficient
to
meet
the
world's
needs.
The
countries
that
were
net
exporters
before
the
war
have
now
become
net
importers.
The
estimated
wheat
deficit
for
the
first
six
'months
of
this
year
is
over
five
million
tons.
By
harvest
time,
the
stocks
in
the
exporting
countries
will
be
nearly
exhausted
and
requirements
in
1946-47
will
have
to
be
met
almost
entirely
from
the
current
year's
crop.
ine
rice
situation
is
also
serious
i
and
increases
the
demand
for
wheat
or
flour.
Reports
from
India
record
the
failure
of
the
rains
and
other
disasters
which
will
reduce
the
rice
crop
and
once
more
raise
the
spectre
of
famine.
Adverse
weather
conditions
since
the
liberation
of
the
rice
consuming
countries
from
Japanese
occupation,
under
which
rice
production
was
allowed
to
decline
heavily,
before
rice
production
could
be
got
into
full
swing
have
resulted
in
a
deficit
of
exportable
rice
estimated
for
the
first
six
months
of
this
year
at
two
million
tons.
In
the
summer
of
1945
it
still
seemed
possible
to
meet
the
world
wheat
requirements
on
a
carefully
reduced
scale
if
maximum
efforts
in
regard
to
production,
collection
and
transport
could
be
made.
Those
hopes
have
not
been
fulfilled.
The!
requirements
of
the
wheat
importing
countries
from
January
to
June
are
a
little
over
seventeen
million
tons.
Exportable
supplies
available
are
twelve
million
tons.
In
fhese
circumstances,
all
the
importing
""countries
in
the
world
must
be
prepared
to
make
further
sacrifices
and
further
efforts
must
be
made
to
maximize
collection.
Coarse
grains
will
have
to
be
used
for
bread
instead
of
as
feeding
stuffs.
All
possible
steps
to
encourage
increased
sowings
of
wheat
will
have
to
be
taken.
