San Francisco. June 1S.-A. II.
Naftzger of Los Angeles, vice chair
man of the State Council o. Defense,
said in part:
This republic has seen dark days.
but today it confronts d foe more
oweIful, more resourceful and more
unscrupulous than any other since our
fcrefathers laid the foundation OF
our liberty. Germany has treated al
l.uman rights with contempt, all trea-
ties as scraps of paper; all rights o.
free government have been trampled
under foot. Belgium. Rumania and
Servia are perishing as governments
and their people destroyed or enslaved.
France has been strongly invaded and
is we'll nigh exhausted. Every neu-
trail country of Europe is suffering
teeply and is threatened with destruc-
ton All this that the House Of
Hohenzollern may rule the world.
"If we may believe the reports that
are made to US, we have two great
problems before us in this war: First,
t. supply men for the trenches; and.
second, what will be more general and
to which we can all contribute, to sup
ply food for a hungry world. Nj.
Hoover is reported as saying that the
portions of Europe looking to US for
food will need thosuand millioa
bushels of wheat the coming year

almost twice as much as this coun-
tly produces; in fact, there is nothing
to indicate that we shall have any sur.
plus at all, but unless we supply at
least portion of the requirements it
is doubtful whether our allies can
continue the war, and if they cannot,
then it is lost ,and our situation III
such an event would be indeed des~

selves in the matter of food; the ut

waste eliminated and we must pro-
