before food stuffs in any amount
can be raised. The peoples of
the world are looking to the
United States for food and it is
our duty to make sure their ex
pectations will be met. The
people of this country have been
very considerate and all those
who conformed to the food regul.

they have had a great part in
winning this war. II by chance
there should be few who have
not held to the regulation, they |

The government has played fair |
II took the substitute regulations

will loosen the restrictions on
other food stuffs as soon as con-
