Washington.-Food spectators have
been taking $50,GO0O00 a month for
the last five months-a total of
quarter of billion dollars-from the
American people, Herbert c. Hoover
told senators on June 10, in explaining
the purpose of the food-control bin
now before congress.
MI. Hoover, who is President VIII
sons food administrator, went to the
capitol Tuesday by invitation to ex-
plain personally TO senators the gov
ernments fo0d-control bill under con-
sideratiOn In both houses of congress
The real question" he said, in a
prepared statement preliminary to
senatorial questioning, lis whether the
shortage win continue next year and
what will be the needs of The allies
and America. Despite the reduced
consumption of the allies, they will re-
luire larger amounts of cereals next
year than ever before. The allies are
more isolated In food sources. II
takes three times the tonnage and
| double the trouble to get Australian
wheat. Crop failures in the Argentine
rive no hope of relief from there be-
fore next spring.
THE allies are dependent upon
North America for the vast majority
II their food imports. We should be
,hle to supply GO per cent of the
| wheat they require. The other 40 per
cent must be made up by further de-
NAL on their part and saving on ours.
| We can increase our surplus. The stu
alton for them next year means In
creased privation. Without an ade'
quatc food supply no European popu'
| .atiou will continue to fight and We
shall find ourselves alone against Ger
| many.
THE Russian revolution was "A food
riot and even yet that ally Is temper
arily paralyzed. Responsibility rests
IN our government for failure Of de
mocraCy through shortage of food.
Turning 10 domestic conditions, Mr.
/ Hoover said this country had been eN
