THE NATIONAL FOOD COMMISSION

The experience Of Europe has caused many of US
to associate the idea Of a food commission with that OF
placing the whole population on restricted rations. The
United States has a food commission. but there is no Inn
mediate prospect Of the daily rations Of Its people being
prescribed by that commission.
The purpose Of this commission Is, among other
things, to collect precise Information concerning the food
resources Of the nation, to prepare plans for the rapid
and economical distribution Of these supplies. and to
stimulate and render effective a sentiment against waste,
product.
Just how the work Of the commission will be per-
formed will be determined, Of course, by those in i'm
mediate charge. The selection of Herbert c. Hoover as
the head Of tho commission is a guarantee that the work
will be performed with energy and Intelligence. Mr..
Hoover was at tho head Of the Belgian relief work until
his withdrawal was made necessary, and he has been
given hearty and unstinted praise by men of all nations
who have observed his work and have noted Its results
One may glance a little into the future and see in
prospect some Of the changes likely to be brought through
the work Of this commission, supplemented, as it must We,
viduals. We can see. under the pressure Of national
necessity. fields better cultivated and producing larger
yields, weed patches give way to cultivated crops; swanps
drained: better varieties Of seed planted: worthless stock
slaughtered and replaced by animals which will more
than pay for their keep: quick transportation provided
for perishable products, and preserving plants establish
ed near points Of production, that surplus may not be
wasted. We can see, In the homes of the country, the
exercise Of a closer supervision and a greater intelligence
in the handling Of the family's food. A vast army could
goes needlessly into American garbage cans. Under the
reformed.
And, when tho war is over, we will have learned
some important lessons in economy and thrift. Thoss
lessons and their results are likely to remain with us
They must be made to remain. And if they do. we will
have gained something Of permanent value, even though
II has ia ken n war to teach us the lessons.
