.RUSSIA IS KEY
TO SITUATION
AND ONLY HOPE
BUDAPEST, Sept. 27 (by Associa
f ted Press).—The peoples of Europe
are in a dark deep pit and they must
work themselves out of it, was essert
ed by Roland Hegedus, bank director
and lecturer at the University of Bud
apest.
“The United States is richer than
she knows but she cannot reconstruct
Europe by loans,” said Mr. Hegedus:
“All the nations of Europe are beset
with a succession of political and eco
nomic problems that are well nigh in
solvable.
“Russia is the key to the situation
-And until some sort of consistent gov
ernment is established there, we can
hope for little here. What the United
States can do, perhaps, is to work to
secure free trade among these Central
Jiropean countries. None of us can
do any business with tariff frontiers.
“I believe the paper money situation
will force a revision of the peace
treaties. All these little nations
are living from hand to mouth, print
ing up money to keep going. Poland
is hardly a year old and already she
has a national debt of 130,000,000,000
marks, with a 40,000,000,000 deficit.
The same is more or less true of the
Czechs of Czecho-Slovakia, in Hun
gary and of all of us. The armies
are eating up half of our incomes, yet
each nation is afraid to disarm be
cause of possible attacks from neigh
bors.
“With this paper money carnival,
k Central Europe cannot trade with the
countries having better moneys, such
as Spain. Holland and Switzerland.
This situation also applies to Italy and
France.
“For the same reason our educated
but impoverishel classes can not go
abroad to find work, provided they
could secure passports.
“These conditions are not altoget
her the results of a big war but of a
bad peace which has fallen harder on
Hungary than any other country. God
made her the center of a geographical
unit and the peace frontiers ruin not
only new Hungary but the pars taken
away.”
WHEAT IS NOW
VERY SCARCE
IN ENGLAND
»
LONDON, Sept. 27 (by Associated
Press).—With bread selling at 25 cents
a loaf and soon to be raised to 30
cents and later perhaps to 35 cents,
England is harvesting this season the
smallest crop of wheat since the war.
Production of barley, on the other
hand, will show a material increase
over that of the last few years.
«
The reasons for this state of affairs
according to Professor James Long, a
well known agricultural expert are
government control and beer. The
price of wheat and oats is regulated,
but no restrictions have been placed
oh that of barley. As the market price
off. barley is exceptionally high, far
mers planted that grain instead of
wheat and oats.
Professor Long shows that since
1918 wheat has been reduced by 679,
| 000 acres, or more than one-third the
present area, while oats, also an im
portant bread stuff, has fallen off by
512,000 acres. “On the basis of wheat,”
he says, “this means a loss of bread
grain equal to some 38,000,000 bushels
or sufficient to feed 7,500,000 persons.
A curious commentary is the fact
that the barley crop has considerably
increased, and that in consequence
beer has so far occupied the position
of bread.”
The country has fewer cattle than
in any year since 1903 and 5,330,000
less sheep than the average of the 10
years from 1904 to 1913. The de
crease in cattle since last year is
more than 500,000 head.

LONDON, Sept. 27 (by Associated
Press).—An international passenger
aeroplane carrying four passengers

of this city. The pilot and passengers
were killed.
