Secretary's Statement

"Never in the history Sf the world
have business men shown as much pa
triotism and unselfshness as have
been manifested, since the war began,
by the business men of America. An
overwhelming majority Of them have
been as ready to place their business
organizations and their personal SER
vices and their wealth at the dispos-
al Of the federal government in this
crisis as the young me nhave been 10
do tie actual fighting.
However, this attitude has not been
universal. There are food spectators,
food cornerers and food gamblers,
some Of them men of immense wealth
and others of very small means. who
are today taking advantage of war
conditions to exploit their fellow citl-
zens to the fun extent Of their ability.
These men are allies Of the Kaiser.
and are doing their utmost to defeat
the patriotic purposes OF the nation.
Wherever they are seen, in high places
or in low they should he condemned
and made to feel the loathing and con-
tempt of every patriotic American.
These men will he taken care of in due
time by national state and municipal
legislation but until such legislation
can be enacted the only effective pow
er that car be brought against them is
the power of an outraged public SEN
timent and that should be used vigor-
ously and mercilessly.
Il am told that some of these men
arc actually in Washington today. con-
Quoting a lobby against the request Of
President Wilson that Congress empow-
err him and his cabinet to take the nee
cssary means to mobilize the agricul-
tural resources of this nation for vic
tory. They are urging every specious,
theoretical and imaginary argument
against the granting of war powers to
the President and has cabinet, and they
are at present directing their principal
attack against the laws which have been
introduced by the agricultural commit
tee of the House with a view to put
ting the department Of agriculture on
a war basis. That step would have been
taken several weeks ago. The bills
now before Congress were drawn up
after the department of agriculture had
consulted with every agricultural col
legc in the United States with every
state department of agriculture. with
every agricultural paper or magazine
and with experts familiar with the eX-
perience of Europe during the past three
years.
The additional powers asked for arc
powers which are possessed and exer-
cised by the governments of every Eu-
ropean nation now at war. They have
been demonstrated to be essential war
powers.
THE unpatriotic and disloyal lobby
that is trying to defeat the determna-
ton of Congress and of the people Of
this country to put the agricultural re-
sources of the nation on an efficiency
basis in this crisis should be made to
feel the condemnation of every real

Self-sacrifice and War.

After all, suffering is necessary
to wise and moral living. Very
few people can stand the test Of
uninterrupted success. This is
true of the individual; it is true of
nations. For one, I believe that
in this respect at least the war will
have a tremendous effect in the fu-
ture for loug perlod Of time. OF
course, tue answer will be that the
price is too great. No doupt it is,
The same triumph should be
achieved without the price. But
the fact is that it never is.
Somewhere I have read that in
1913 a young German poet, Theo-
dore Koerner, full of promise in
the great literary field, offered his
service as soldier. The attempt
was made to dissuade him, because
the country could not afford to lose
so promising man. His answer
was that of tr1e man-his couu-
try could not afford to harbor any
man who would accept such an ex-
cnse. He went forward and fell in
battle. No one would say that if
he had not gone to the front his
poems and songs would be treasur.
ed by his people as they have been
ever since. No contribution that
he could have made to literature
could possibly have had the infu-
ence with bis people that the tri-
umph of his spirit has exercised
throughout the century.
This is true now in all the war
ring countries. Whatever the
cause may be, the spirit of sacrifice
has come into recognition as never
before in history. There will be
triumph of soul, and an appreci-
alton of what is true, fine and
worth while; and willingness and
ability to dismiss that which is
sham andself indul gence. South
