Public Must Help Out.

Mr. Hoover is going to do great

on the force of public opinion to back
him up in the enforcement of the new

he will give out before long a series Of
statements covering his plans.

ing and there would he grave food
! riots next winter unless conditions
were changed.
Examination of the measure as 1t
has passed congress leaves no Ques-
tion that ii conveys powers which. IL
exercised, will rebound to the public
benefit. At the same time it is i'm
portant to remember that the country
this year has n tremendous crop of
foodstuflS-in the aggregate much more
than it neCds-and that if this is not
wasted nor manipulated and is wisely
distributed there will be enough for
home use and enormous quantities for
the allies aud American troops abroad.
Need Not Be Disappointed.
If the profits on distribution are
held down to moderate figures there Is
reason to believe that the two desir-
able results of large shipments abroad
and reasonable prices at home can be
achieved.
That Mr.. Hoover is sincere in his
desire to achieve these two great ends
is not doubted by those who know him,
despite all the attacks made and the
current talk that the food control
measure will he a disappointment to
the people.
The government, by the strict en-
forcement of the withdrawing pro-
visions and by exercising its right CIV

wheat, -four, beans and potatoes, to
regulate speculation and to license
agencies engaged in production, trans
pOrtation and distribution of necessa-
ries, can undoubtedly revolutionize the

nothing of other broad powers which
