er in a statement reviewing the world
food situation.
Ships, wheat and hogs are the great
needs emphasized by MIR. Hoover lie
said deepest concern had been caused
by the fact that in spite of high prices
this countrys pork consumption had
increased during the war until produc-
tion had been outstripped; a situation
that must be changed.

The production of fats is today a
critical necessity for the preservation
OF the Allies and the maintenance of
their constancy in the war Every
pound of fat is as sure of service as
every bullet, and every hog is of
greater value to the winning of this
war than a shell"
Allies Wheat Deficit Large.
As TO wheat, the administrator said
the Allies deficiency of production is
l96,000.000 bushels, with imports of
577, 100000 bushels required to main

mated the aggregate American. Cana
