THE eELLIGERENTS
AND THE FOOD PROBLEM.

The British governments decision to
regulate the distribution and consump-
ton OF food is an indication that both
sides of the controversy in Europe are
finding the food problem difficult. Ger
manys food dictator. who says when
and how much the people shall eat. has
been on the job long time. Shut
off from the sea lanes, and with Bri.
tain's blockade making It difficult for
even nearby countries to send food to
Germany. the Teuton food problem has
doomed large since the early days of
the war. Yet so we'll have the Ger
mans managed their stores and re-
sources Of provisions that there hasn't
been anything like famine, and there
probably won't be. Not a self-sustain-
ing nation in the matter of production
of foodstuffs in normal times, Ger
many comes very near being able to
feed herself in time of war. or course.
less food must be consumed. but that
may not be as bad as 1t sounds, since
eating too much is the common failing
OF prosperous peoples.
And now the British, if not confront
ed by an actual food shortage, have at
least found II so difficult to procure an
adequate supply that government rCgu-
lation in matters of diet is deemed de
sirable. Great Britain so largely a
manufacturing nation, must always i'm
port large quantities of foodstuffs. BY
keeping control of the sea, this has
been possible during two years and
more, Of war. despite the activities OF
submarines. But so many ships are
needed for military purposes, and so
many ships have been sunk by the sub
marines that the problem is becoming
increasingly difficult Great Britain is
not likely to starve; even less likely
than are the central empires, and hun
ger isn't to be the determining factor
in the war on either side. But in both
countries war In different ways has so
increased the cost of living that this
food supply may be among the ecno-
mic reasons which will hasten the end
of the war one way or the other. The
position of France probably is some.
what similar to that of Great Britain
for 1t must also import largely. Only
Russia, of the important powers in.
volved, has large surplus of food on
hand, and Russia lacks an outlet to the
Mediterranean which might relieve her
allies. And. meanwhile. war is making
food problem, even for neutral cour.
tries, including our own, which is an
added reason for working for peace
and some plan to make it permanent.

SECRETARY LANE.

One strong man in Wilson's cabinet
who has escaped all criticism and Is
generally admitted to be a man much
above the ordinary is the Hon. Frank.
lin X. Lane Of California, Secretary Of
the Interior. The Republicans we're
free and rather severe in their critI.
cisms OF the Presidents cabinet selcc.
tons during the campaign, but nothing
was said TO the discredit or detriment
OF Secretary Lane. He is known to be
man of exceptionally fine sense, cul-
ture and good character. In the posi-
ton OF member of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission and in his present
office he has so demeaned himself as
to meet general approval.
II the President reconstructs his
cabinet for the next administration.
1t is hoped that Secretary Lane will be
kept in office. Possibly he may be
given more important department.
one at least more In the public view.
The Department of the Interior Is
really one of important duties, but is
Is not SO conspicuous Rs that Of State.
Treasury, War or Navy. .....
There is already some speculation
as to whom the Democrats may nonl.
nate in 1920, Mr.. Wilson, under the
twotem precedent being no longer
eligible, and Secretary Lane, being a
Californian. would assuredly be I'm line
for the nomination. but for one impedl.
ment for which he is no way respon.
sible, and which, under the conditions,
is to be regretted. He was born in n
foreign land and under the constitution
10 not eligible to the presidency. The
Secretary is a native OF Canada. but
the law does not bar him from any
lesser office and 1t is TO be hoped he
