WHO CONTROLS SEA
IMPORTANT TO U. S.
If Germany and Austria Do, it Will
Seriously Interfere with Ex
porting American Foodstuffs.
SO SAYS SECRETARY HOUSTON
If Kna-land, t Fraaee Mil Raaala
Rale the) Mala, Thla Coanlry

Catania Prwdwct.
WAWIINOTON', Aug. 14.-Th effect
of the Kuopean war upon aarrfi-ulture in
til L"nitd State waa dlacuaaed today
by Recretary Houston, who pointed out
that the United fitatea waa practically
the only large food-producing country un
disturbed. "If Germany and Austria cannot con
trol the high seaa." he -said, "It will be
very difficult for food supplies from thl
country to reach them. Thla would not
have a very aerioua effect on other ex
port, because a very a mall proportion
1 taken by thoae countries. Of the wheat
and wheat-flour exported In 1913 about
14n,flno,ffiO bushel only 1 2.0(10.000 went to
Oermany and Austria.. If they were to
control the high aeaa It would seriously
Interfere with the marketing of the
greater part of foodetuffe we export.
Will Try to Cit tnppllea.
"if. on the other hand. England.
France and Hunla control the high, aeaa,
we would be able to market In tha near
future without great difficulty the great
man of our exportable food" product.
Kven If they cannot control the aeaa. they
are going to taka every aort of reason
able risk to get auppllea.. and on account
of their extensive ahore line and large
hipping facilities they would doubtleae
ecure a very conaiderabte part of what
they needed."
Secretary Houston pointed out that
cotton, corn, wheat and meat products
constituted the largest proportion of ag
ricultural exports. He said that his de
partment's atatlstlca of production and
exports of corn showed a decrease of
over 6O0.O0D.00D buahela In 1913 from 1912,
and added, "It doca not aeem to me
likely that we are going to have a very
large amount of corn to export"
t'oala. ronaaane It.
Importation of corn tho last year ex
ceeded exports by nearly 2,000,000 bushel,
and with the crop for the present year
600,000,000 bushels less than that of 1913,
Mr. Houston thinks It probable that this
country could consume It all without
much reduction In price). If any. The do-'
mand from abroad for corn for food la
expected to help maintain the present
prices.
"Thla season," ald the aecretary, "has
been unfavorable for crops in Kurope, aa
a result of which there undoubtedly Is
soma shortage, now. estimated at ap
proximately 309.000,000 bushels. This
shortage may be further increased by de
struction of crnpa or failure to harvest
them through the diversion of laborers
into the army. All these factor will
tend to Increase the demand abroad for
American wheat, and strengthen prices.
If there Is an Increased foreign demand
for wheat we can certainly supply It If
they can get It-?'
