ieve the United States has anything
to fear from foreign competition after
the war should not overlook the fact
that althoughGreat Britainiscmfwypg
that although Great Britain is hersel1
one of the heaviest buyers of NUM-
tons, yet British concern outbit
American companies in proposals fol-
furnishing projectiles for the United
States navy. All sorts of explana
tons may be offered, but the fact is
that cheaper labor in Great Britain
gives the factory in that country ar
advantage in the low cost of "roduc-

tiles which are not now in use because
the British navy is inactive, the Brit

business now net the federal treasur,
bout $250,0O0,000 year, while i'm.

COkER ANNOUNCES
PLANS FOR FUTURE
South. Carolina Chairman Issues
Statement to People Of State.
Reviews Work

General purposes of the food ad-
ministration were announced yesteT-
day in statement issued by D. r
Coker Of Hartsville, federal food ad-
ministrator for South Carolina. Mr.
Coker announced that he had ap-
pointed Joe Sparks Of Columbia as
executive secretary of the food admin
istration. Offices of the admin!stra-
ton have been opened on the seventh
aoor of the Union National Bank
building.
MIR. Coker also announced that
Dr.. Reed Smith of the faculty of the
University of South Carolina had been
appointed as secretary Of the State
Council of Defense to succeed Mr.:
Sparks.
The following announcement was
made by Mr. Coker.
president Wilson and his advisers
are certain that the food supply will
he one of the most vital factors IN
determining the outcome OF the war.
It was clearly recognized some time
ago that one of the greatest tasks
which this nation must assume viii
be the supply of ample foodstufrs to
nyercorne the deficiencies in the stores
of cur allies. In order that this might
be done in a practical businesslika
way without causing a shortage in
this country, Herbert Hoover. who
has earned a worldwide fame as 3
business man and administrator IA
the Belgian relief work. was appoint
ed United States food administrator.
To carry out the program outlined by
Mr. Hoover the president has appoint
ed food administrators in the different
States, the undersigned being ap1
noi.ted to fill this in South Carolina.
CATER a session of several days
with Mr.. Hoover, his assistants and
other State administrators in Wash
ing.on it seemed to me that the work
OF the food administration could be
conveniently carried on n connection
with the work of the State Corpcl1
OF Defense, and should be closely coz
nected with it. I, therefore, accepted
the appointment All lave established

Sparks, formerly secretary oI tAe
South Carolina Gem nissan frT Civic
Preparedness for War, anl later sec
rotary OF the St4=e -nincll Of Deien3e,
as executive Sc :rctary for 'he food
admin .straton. Mr.. Sparks was chos-
en- primarily because Of the invalua-
bic assistance he rendered in our
campaign for production ans conseI-
vltion of foodstuffs this spring.
'The greatest work of the food ad-
istration will be. the stimulation
of production of, foodstuffs and tn
stoppage of waste in consumption.
There being a shortage in the wheat
supply and that being the most coa-
venient and useful grain for export, /
reduction in the use of wheat bread
and a partial substitution Of corn in
it's stead is being strongly urge1.
This substitution will work no har2~
shin on the South, which is accnston-
ed to the use of corn products and
thoroughly understands their uses
and values A reduction in the use
of fats and meats is also being urged.
for one of the great problems OF rae
nation is to supply animal products
to our allies and to prevent fats and
meats from soaring to unheard of fig-
ures in this country.
1.-The food administration aims to
entirely eliminate speculation ana
boarding Of food. It is attempting the
dual task OF seeing that the producer
receives attractive prices for his pro-
duce so that he will continue to pro-
duca literally, and at the same time
prevent such imitation Of prices that
the wage earners Of the country viii
be unable to live with sone degree
OF comfort
Verify this will be a great tass
and Will test the administrative aoi-A
.ty Of Mr. Hoover and his assistants
to the utmost but it must be attempt
ed, ana with the patriotic cooperation
OF the people It will be accomplished.
'It is recognized that the house
wives OF the nation must be enlisted
if the food conservation program is
to be completely successful. and Ar
Hoover is asking every one OF them
to sign a pledge to carry out the pur-
pose OF the food administration. An
intensive campaign will probably be
put on shortly which will give every
South Carolina housewife the oppor-
tunity Of volunteering in this cause.
"Our people must know that this
food production and conservation
