the war itself-humanIty demands It

This Is the message sent to the
American people by Herbert C. HoOv-
er, food administrator, today.
He urges the entire population Of
the nation to practice economy and
conserve food supplies that PERISH
lng's boys and our allies may be fed"
Mr.. Hoover says self-sacrince
should be the keynote Of American
living until the end OF the war. I'VE
must feed our allies, that their peo-
pie may remain constant IN the war
Liberty cannot be maintained on the
empty stomachs OF the women and
children" his message says.
Denies Trend to Socialism.
The charge made in some quarters
OF the United States that the nation
Is leaning toward socialism IL denied
by Mr.. Hoover with the statement
that the food administration sis q
volunteer organization to be endowed
with powers by the Government. This
volunteer Organization Is not to be
limited to a few executives in Wash
ington. We are solicitous, nay anx-
ious, to secure as actual members
of this volunteer effort every man
and woman. every boy and girl in
the United States who will undertake
the task with us.
There is no dictatorship in volun-
teer effort. It Is by volunteer mo-
Utilization that we can answer autoc-

ing In the zone through which an enor-

Guilty in buying the Danish West Indies
owing to the fact that German capital
had been largely user in the Commercial
development OF the Islands. II the Is

no doubt that Germany would have OBJ

eventually would have annexed them.
As far as the Danish islands are
concerned that danger is over. but the
political isolation Of the British West

Benefit to West Indies.

The practical advantages OF an
economic and political union to the
British West Indies are equally OBJ
yious. They would have a free, ever
growing market in Canada for their
products. with the free entry OF Cana.
dian produce for home consumption.
Closer commercial ties between all
these Islands and Canada have hither-
to been impossible because the West
Indies feared that any preference
granted to Canada would cause re-
talistion from the United States, ia
maica refused a Canadian offer of
reciprocity years ago mainly on this
ground. Her planters feared that the
United States would retalIate by cur
falling her banana trade. When a
