WILSON CALLS FOR

CONSIDERS PROBLEM
SIMPLE TO SOLVE
President Declares America Should Not
Be Niggardly in Feeding the World
Did Not Mention Petition for Embar-
go on Foodstuffs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Presi
dent Wilson blamed middemen for the
high cost of foodstuffs here last night
IN a speech welcoming to Washington
the convention of the National Grange
aud in urging farmers to increase theil
output, the President said:
1--WE ought to raise such big crops
that circumstances like the present can
never recur, when men can make il ap.
pear as If the supply was so short that
the mlddleman could charge for it what
he pleased. IT will not do to be mig.
gardlv with the rest of the world in re.
spect to its food supply
President Wilson did not mention re-
cent petitions to him to declare an EN-
barge on expectation of foodstuffs from
the United States, and he did not refer
even indirectly to the outcome of the
presidential election.
1T seems to me, > said the President
"that some of the most interesting
problems of our life and of the life of
the world lie before us, problems in con
nection with which the farmers of the
United States will play a part such as
they have never played before.
1T goes without saying that the phys
zeal life of the nation has always de-
pended upon the farm. 1t goes with
out saying, also that to large extent
the physical life of the world has drawn
its sustenance from the great areas of
farm land in the United States, We
have sent food to all parts Of the world,
and the American farmer has contribut
ed to the life of all the countries of the
world. But you know that as our own
population has increased the proportion
in which we could help foreign countries
as contrasted with our own has de-
creased, and there are problems that are
comparable with the problems of states
manship lying ahead OF the farmers of
the United States.
In the future we have got to bring
more of the area of the United States
under cultivation than is under cultiva-
ton now. We have got to increase the
product at every point where If is sus-
ceptible of being increased.
- wish that all problems of govern
ment were displayed in as clear lines of
duty as this problem Of government
with regard to how the farmer ought
to be treated is displayed. l wish, for
example, that foreign affairs were as
simple as agriculture. The great salts
faction about what you have to discuss
is that when once your duty is deter
mined we have got a great force of in
telligence to 90 forward in the line of
duty.
The thing that makes free country
vital is the large number of people who
get together 10 do important things
without asking the leave of the govern
ment to do them. The striking thing
about a great country like the United
States is that if the government neglect
cd everything, the people would
do it; that you do not beekon to the PEG
pie of the United States, they command
you 10 90 on, and things that are
neglected they have got plenty of brains
TO get together and do for themselves. -
