In 1917 the yield of wheat in France was only about 47 per cent. 'of the average quantity obtained annually before the \\_1ir broke out. llie same was true of the crop of potatoes.

360,000,000 bushels more than the annual average of their require- niciits of these food coininoditics before the war. That quantity

is equal to 61 per cent. of an increase over their pre-war require-

nicnts. Although their rations have been greatly reduced it is nece- ,_ saryfor the Allies to import nearly two inillion tons more than usual

of meats chiefly for their own armies and munition workers, that is equivalent to 39 per cent. more than the quantities they imported an- nually before the war.

Canada has been supplying an important proportion of the foods

required by the Allies. Recently Canada’s share in funishiiig foods to the Allies has been as follows: Of wheat 42 per cent.; oats 38 per cent; barley I4 per cent; rye 4 per cent; cheese 67 per cciii; pork products 9 pei' cent; beef 2% per cent; butter ly; per cent.

Baron Rhondda, llritisli Food Controller, sent ilie following ines-

sage recently: "The Allied larder is dangerously einpty. but we. are t°ari`_i'iiig on in the resolute belief that \ve can rely on the people of Norlli America to prevent our food supplies froin becoiniiiig si di- ininislicil as to iinperil the issue for \vliicli we :irc all t`iglitiiig." The Secretary of the llritish l\1inistry of Food says: “(ircai liritain relies on the United States and Canada for sixty»tive pci' cent. of her essential fooilstuil's. Unless wc get this food, iir nearly :ill of it. we shall peter nut." ~

'l`liut is the gravity of the food situation. _ 1

Why did we not know about iliat sooner? \\'cll, the nicn at the

heart of things have known of it, Init the people ivould not hear or heed because the abundance all about us was so great. I sometimes think, with my body in Ottavva :intl my niind behind the lines _at the front,--If they hear not Moses and the Prophets (inen of intelli- gence, viisioii and responsibility) neitlier would they be persuaded althougli one of our soldiers rose from the dead and said: “You folks at home are putting in peril all that I died to save.

vest. not only in Canada but in otliercouiitries _that_there was plenty of food. But by the end of |916 the real situation began to be understood. ‘ _ '_ » _ .

The causes of the world-wide shortage are still cumulative. 'l here

was a general shortage in the northern lieinisphere in iot6 of the tive bigfccrtai m.o_,s_ “.i,c_,i_ L-gm, rye, barley and oats. _ Of these crops 1,968,000,000 bushels less were proiic_ed in i<)i6 than in i915. or about two and a. half tiines the total quantity of these crops raised annually iii Canada Even iii normal peace times this shortage would have

been serious, but its seriousness is greatly accentua;ed_ by the w_z_i_r. The shortage was due to several causes. que o tiese _was Thi weather. over which. of course. there was no iuinan con ro. chief cause, however, was the withdrawal of labor from farin pro_ du¢i~i0n_ Altogether a conservative _estiinate_woi_1_lcl_ _place ~i_l_ie___t_i;i_t_z?_ number of men wrtlidrawn front agriculture _or gllllg all tion rriakiiig in the Allied belligerent countries at_son_ie 6.000.000.

[or 2 years. lie had left his in-ark. lie said. and his departure was Prince Edward island'i¢i loss and his gain, t'oi‘ Mr. Reek had gone to a better position aiidabetter salary in a province where he was not hounded from door to door and from section to section. and in the press. as he had been here. Mr. Reid also, beannouneed, had se- vered his connection with the Depart- ment, temporarily at least. and left yesterday (Thursday) morning. In him the province was. losing another good man who had been bounded in tho same way from the day he came until the present time, and he too had done good work. particularly in con ~uectlon with the live stock of this province. work that was never done before. To his splendid efforts was due the tact that sheep were txnpor-_ ed into this province by the carloatl last season und tho season before. It was due to his effort that ii. couple ot’ crii-loads ot' improved cattle are to be iiiiiiurted into this province within the next few days. This was part of the work he did, and he did it well, regardless of the men on his trail every day of his lite and every- where he went. He left. said Mr. McKinnon. to take up farming on his own account in the West,_a.nd- the-bw siiiess that would receive .the same i\nori.:_v. foretliouglit and assiduous at- tention that lic devoted to his work in the Department would undoubtedly be ii great success.

Mr. Mcliiiiinon then went on to deal

wlili the criticism of Mr. Lea in re- l’iii'i,-iiife in "the hail job that tho De- partiiiiint hail made. of foods last .\i-ar." on aeeiiunt ol' wliicb. that izuiitleuiaii declared. lie would have notliiiii.: further to do with tho Depart- nieiit. Well. Mr: McKinnon did not iihjeei to tliat.. He would say for .\li-_ iii.-ii personally that be would not izivi- the Department much trouble. lt` lie i-liose not to have anything to do with llie Department, that was his owu utfair.
