WHAT THE FOOD PLEDGE
MEANS TO OUR ALLIES

Lord Rhondda. the British food con-
troller. has cabled to United States
Food Administrator Hoover the fol.
lowing message concerning food.
pledge week and its purposes:
London. October 81.
When the desDicable little British
Army" three years ago flung itself in.
to the breach and barred the road TO
Calais. 1t was inspired not by a reason
ed hope OF defeating overwhelmingly
the German army. not by any thought
OF conquest. but by those highest of all
human aspirations. duty and self-sa-
crifice. In glorious fulfillment of those
aspirations the majority OF that "des-
picable little army" now lie in soldiers
graves. In the cause millions OF our
manhood have freely offered their
lives.
The gallant Belgian handful that
saved the day by holding the German
armies at Liege: the magnific at
ed at the battle of the Marne the
kaiser's dream OF Prussianized Eu-
rope; the Serbs who contested inch by
inch against infinitely superior forces
the integrity OF their native land, all
were actuated by the sawc motives.
Most OF them now have only white
wooden crosses TO mark their self
sacrifice and devotion to duty.
To my own fellow countrymen I say
quite frankly that what we ask Of
them In food economy Is scarcely
worthy the name Of sacrifice. II thosc
who continue to live and stay In com.
parative comfort at homc-air raids

tine are not willing to deprive them.
selves of quite unessential foods, then
our bravest men died in vain.
have already placed all the prime
necessities OF life under government
control, both as to import and home
production price. II would have been
impossible to do this without your
cooperation and advice in connection
with our imported supplies.
If there Is no marked reduction as q
result OF our voluntary food economy
campaign the nation must be put on
compulsory rations. The disadvant'
ages OF this you know better than !
but you also know that We are al
faced with a shortage OF the worlds
supply OF cereals. meats. fats. ant
sugar. For all these the allies In Eu
rope are largely dependent upon th'
American people. Unless there Is rca
self.sacriflce, real cooperation In the
common campaign for conservation
and increased production OF food. ther
food will not win the war The result
OF your food.pledge week means mucl
