THE ABUSE OF COLD STORAGE.

T is announced that at a recent Washington confer
ence between Department OF Agriculture represen-
atves and cold storage heads the latter pledged their
help in the governments proposed food survey.
Now that is all very nice It is good to know just
many OF beef and poultry and eggs and but
ter are in cold storage Uncle Sam get out per-
fecty beautiful statistical report showing how many

foods
But we want something more than reports. We
can't feed on hguress Statistics rather meager
diet You can't make roast a soup out OF them.
You can't fry them with onions
What we would like to is some method of com
peilng the cold storage people and their chief
toner's the food sharks to unload that food be
purchased at reasonable prices We not keen to

prefer this Summers eggs this Summer, not Winter

Of saving Summer food excess for Winter dearth; a
method whereby cutting waste and rot food is made
cheaper throughout the year.
But that is where the food spectators come in with
their dirty hands. They hoard the food away from

had TO be sold. Now the supply is held.

price is forced far beyond what It should be.

FEEDING GERMANY.

TTHERE are soft-hearted sentimental Delawareans

many months. The amount Of supplies seepng into
Germany from the little countries is simply amazing
There better example than Denmark helpless un-

Danish imports have been over 10000 tons
during the war. while the yearly home consumption
was 1000 tons. Ten million pounds went from this
country to Denmark in 1916 alone. or course. the
great excess imported went TO Germany
Not only is it valuable and sustaining food but
German chemists have been able extract fat needed
for explosives.
The imports of such things as bacon. lard, olso oil,
cotton seed cake and lnseed increased in
seveny-two times the normal ante-war importa-
ton. The excess went to Germany.

Copenhagen have been absolutely immune from suhma-

ONE OR THE OTHER MUST GO.
From the New York Sun.
Congress voted $750,000.000 for the
shipbuilding programme of the Gov
ernment, a war measure of the great
est urgency.
This is more money than It
cost to run the entire machinery OF
the United States Government for the
year 1853, the war year which saw
the battle of Gettysburg Tremendous,
however. as is this single item of pro
posed expenditure. It is not out of
proportion to the magnitude of the
war need for which the money has
been specifically appropriated.
For days and weeks fast growing
into months the purpose of the Gov
ernment and the vital interests of this
nation and its hard pressed allies
have been defeated by the adminis-
trative clash between General George
Washington Goethals, general man

ation and William Denman, chairman
Of the Shipping Board The chronic
quarrel in its multitudinous symptoms
is with US all the time; the ships to
be produced by the cooperation Of
General Goethals and Mr.. Denman
and his board appear to be at least

The responsibility for the continu-

United States. He alone holds the key
to the deadlock If he has hesitated
to use more than palliatives until now
