'There is no threat of privation. =
said the food administrator in a state
ment formally announcing Food Pledge
Week. We wish only that our people
should eat plenty, but wisely and with
out waste. Wisdom in eating is to
make possible such adjustments in our
food consumption, shipping and war
necessities as will allow us to fulfill our
duty IN exports to our allies. Bv elm
nation of waste we serve ourselves
economically and morally.
This is a duty of necessity, human
itv and honor. As free people we have
elected to discharge this duty, not un-
der autocratic decree, but without 9th
.er restraint than the guidance of in
.dividual conscience. Upon the success
of this unprecedented adventure in dem
.ocracy will largely stake the issue of
the war
The problem of America. as the food
administrator sees it. is to feed our
allies this winter by sending them rs
much food as we can Of the most con
centrated nutritive value in the least
shipping space. These foods are wheat
beef, pork, dairy products and sugar
TINS is TO be accomplished, the house-
wives Will be told, by eating less of
these and more of other foods of which
we have an abundance. and by wasting
less of all foods.
There IS superabundancc of veg.
etables, especially of potatoes, but thew
cannot be shipped to our allies because
they require from four to ten times the
tonnage of more concentrated foods
and the saving of ocean tonnage is one
of the vital problems of the war. The
food administration, therefore. urges
the liberal use of vegetables. and Of
fruit, poultry, fish and other sea foods
with larger use of corn meal for the
purpose Of saving wheat. As these
foods are healthy and relatively low in
price, 1t points out, the American peo.
