mated food administrator. in a state
ment urging food conservation to meet
the prospective needs of the United

I'VE are at war. We must do what

way we can all help in the war and II
we don't help the war will not be won .
A billion bushels Of cereals alone will
be required to sustain the allies and a
few neutral nation which must be con-
sidered Meat, fats and sugar require
ments will also be enormous.
only a small part Of these needs can
be supplied at home: The United States

tion will not meet the deficiency.
Setting forth these conditions. Mr.
Hoover's report urges reduction OF
home consumption as the only way to
adequately respond to the enormous
task imposed.
