ALL SURPLUS WHEAT
GONE, SAYS HOOVER
What We Send to the Allies Now Must
Be the Result of Our Own Saw
ing, He Declares.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Herbcrt G.
Hoover, the food administrator. III
statement issued last night, deplored
published protests III Chicago against
the wheatless and meatless days in
flicting unnecessary sacrifices. He said
the reports were ''either malicious or
cmanate from personal interests.
''rhe results from meatless days
have for the first time given us sutli-
cient reserves Of meat to allow us TO
only partially comply with the guam
titles required by the allies for ship
ments, he said. cit ehouid be a
matter of satisfaction to the entire
American people that their devotion in
this matter now enables us to at least
partially fulfill our duties to the allies
in this respect.
AS to wheat, we have already eX-
ported the whole Of the surplus of the
1917 harvest, over and above the nor
nal demands of our own population. 1t
is necessary, therefore, for the food adj
ministration to restrict the export Of
wheat. so rs to retain in the United
States sufficient supplies to carry our
own people until the next harvest.
Therefore, all exports Of wheat from
now forward are limited entirely 10
volume of saving made by the Ameri-
can people in their consumption of
wheat and wheat products. We are
continuing wheat shipments for Dc
cember as far as our situation allows,
but even with all the conservation
made We are still unable to load over
100000 tons OF foodstuifs urgently re
quired by the allies during the month
OF December alone.
statements Of the above character
given out for personal interest are in
little accord with the spirit being
shown by millions Of homes in the
United States in an cndeavor to MD
