The food problem occupied the cab
met meeting almost to the exclusion
of all the other important war ques-
lions before the government. After
ward it was indicated that the recent
submarine ravages were considered SO
successful that the United States must
marshal its resources Immediately to
put more merchant ships in commits
sion to help devise some means of
fighting submarines and to insure a
great yield of foodstuffs to offset the
increasing destruction of food cargoes
into the war zone.
Members of tho cabinet took to the
meeting Il great quantity of informa-
ton given by the visiting missions, in
Guiding plea by some members of the
French commission that America must
act quickly if the world is to be saved
from famine. Recent declarations in
the British parliament were reviewed
as experimenting this evidence. There
was no attempt to conceal the impress
sion that the food problem had taken
on an aspect making it incomparably
the most pressing question facing the
United States in it's efforts to stem
the progress of the enemy.
Although details of the steps to be
taken were not revealed, there were
indications tonight that more ener-
getic measures might be expected tC
speed up the work of relieving the
food situation in the entente countries
These measures. it was predicted
would be the first to take form as q
result of the international war con,

sitting of the facts as regards distri-

have occurred in some branches of
jobbing and retail trade, losses have
been pretty well balanced by heavy

of future scarcity. Taken as a. whole,
