Democracy's Greatest Problem.

In conserving our FOOD and sending all
we can to our allies IL one Of humane
taranism.
Democracy's Greatest Problem.
'-The problem Of food conservation
on a voluntary basis is the greatest
problem democracy has ever under
taken. The right to enter homes and
dictate what the people shall eat Is
a negation of democratic government
The law does not allow us to do that
now. but unless we conserve volun-
tarily we may come to that.
Fortunately we have types of food
stuns not adapted to shipment abroad,
including large supply, even a surplus,
of vegetables. We now eat only ~ per
cent OF vegetables, though we could be
perfectly healthy on a diet that was 40
per cent vegetables. Even a consumption
of "a per cent. with a corresponding
saving in foods available for export,
would mean an immense saving.
The problem Is one OF substitution.
which Is not hardship. 1t is one of
the elimination Of waste. which cannot
but be beneficial. And 1t is one of con-
sumption among that class that can af-
20 per cent of our population needs no
regulation in this respect. but 80 per
cent consumes nearly double the amount
NEEDED on a basis of health.
War indeed has few compensations,
but one Of its compensations lies in
stirring national hope and national
service"

The name most frequently mentioned

the people desire. At the same time
NJ. Clemenceau has innumerable ene-
