Potato Week Planned
To Save Other Foods
Consumers Urged to Eat Tu-
bers Exclusively Octo-
Der 22 to 81

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-Three pur-
poses will be accomplished by nation
wide potato Week" in which every
one will make a special effort to eat
potatoes during the week from October
22 to 27, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. The first
of these purposes is TO encourage the
eating of the tubers because at that
time it is expected that potatoes Will
be the most available and economical
starchy food; the second is to save
wheat during the period; the third is
TO encourage the general use Of pota-
toes as n wheat substitute by the
American householder.
II is proposed that consumers make
special effort to eat potatoes pre-
pared in different ways, recipes for
which can be obtained from the home
economics department of the various
state colleges Of agriculture, or from

culture. 1t is not supposed that this

Food Went
To Neutrals Through
England Before Ban
is;ar Corr~pondenoel

WASHINGTON, Oct. Son July 10
the United States declared a virtual
embargo upon shipments of food and
material 70 neutral nations bordering
on Germany. The executive order
which was issued. providing for the
licensing of exports. resulted in the
tie-up Of all trade with the North OF
Europe. In consequence, thousands OF
tons Of food are -ottinc in the holds o.
Scandinavian and Dutch ships that wait
in American harburs while negotia-
tons are progressing between repre-
sentatives of Norway. Sweden, Den.
mark and Holland and the United
States exports administrative board.
Food Went Through England
Nevertheless, until Britain declared
her embargo. Germany was still get,
ting food and munitions from neutral
nations. Strangely enough, this came
through England.
In effect, the nations suffering by
the embargo said: Every well, don
ship to us; but as long as you continue
YOUR exports to England we can buy
there instead Of in America
In this roundabout way they nave
succeeded in getting some measure OF
the supplies they demanded from TINS
country. but could not get by dlrecI
shipments. II is believed here IN ON
ciai circles that this method by when
Germany's neighbors have been evading
the export prohibitions of America and
England has been discovered by the
careful watch England keeps on exports
across the North Sea. and the embargo
order is also intended 10 put an end 10
this abuse Of confidence.
The practical effect OF the order is
thus a complete stoppsge OF all snip
ments to Northern Europe, both from
England and America-from Engiand
because Of the order itself, and from
America because they are now unaDIe
n evsde the export licensing order.
II is believed in official circles here
that this pressure will soon force the
Scandinavian countries and Holland 10
ACCEPT the terms under which this coun-
tyv and England will be wiling 10 re-
sumo expectation.
Neutrals Would Starve
Il is officially stated that there is no
desire actually to stop all exports 10
Northern Europe, for IT is recognize
that those countries Would specui!
starve if all foodstufs from England
AND, America were cut of. The desire
is 70 have such hard and fast agree,
ments and such effective methods OF
control that none of the exports can
reach Germany, either directly in mod
med forms, or in exchange for imports
from Germany.
II is now possible 20 exercise lar
greater control over the trafic IN IRON
ore between Sweden and Germany
This is the commerce that rs giving
the greatest concern TO the Aliles' III
is not believed here in offcisl circles
that an embargo, no matter how ef-
fcientlv administered. would result IN
starving Germany in the matter OF
foodstuffs in many months. But If the
iron ore from Sweden could be cut
of the effect on Germany would be
seen almost instantly. Some oflciais
predict that the war would emo IN
sixty DAYS. if the Swedish supply OF
iron to Germany could be cut on
while there are many who say that
six months then would be the out
side limit for the continuation or the
war.
