British Controller of Food Says
Solution of Problem of Sup

London, June l9.--''In this war and
especially at this stage, food power is
co-equal with man power" said Lord
Rhondda. the new food controller, in
an interview today. The problem of
Great Britain's food primarily de-
pcnds upon the supply and in the
main the solution of the problem of

they will not let us down." Lord

tries of Europe to carry on the war to

most superfluous to appoint food
controller.
The most perfect system of distri-

OF time and effort. unless every mea-

American Aid Vital.
For this we depend to vital de-
gree upon the United States and Can
ada No one recognizes that more
fully than | do. Before Mr., Hoover
left for America | had an opportunity
of discussing with him the lessons he
had drawn from his wonderful work
in Belgium and his plans as to the al
lied food supply.
I'm accepting this office, one of its
few attractionS--perhaps its only at
traction-was the knowledge that
President Wilson had asked a man OF
Mr.. Hoover's caliber, experience ana
understanding of the allies, to tackle
in America those problems which have
an intimate bearing upon the food sit
uation in this country. | have perfect
confidence that the American congress
and the American people will respond
to the calls now being made to them.
Il hope shall not be misconstrued
OF thought impatient IL say that the
sooner your food administration mea-
sures are enacted the sooner we shall
breathe more easily. At present our
policy and the practical details of our
buying are rendered more difficult,
more complex by the uncertainty re-
garding the future.
Realizes Americas Resources.
MY experiences in America before
and since the war have given me an
unusual opportunity Of appreciating
the vastness of her resources. lf|
these are organized to their full ca
pacity, I am confident the German
hope of starving the allies or of caus-
ing civilians unrest by the scarcity OF
food or high prices is doomed to fail
ure.
I'VE are doing what we can off our
own bat b., increasing home produc-
ton and decreasing consumption, but
in the main the solution Of the pri-
mary problem of supply lies in the
hands OF our American allies. I am
