SUSPICIOUS SECRECY

\ statement comes from Washington
that in a letter headed urgent and
/ confidential" Postmaster General Bur
leson has asked all postmasterS OF
the country 10 prepare and mail 10 him
90 accurate and plainly written list Of
the names ald sS4reeSes q farmers,
truck growers, dairymen and stock
men who receive mail either at the re-
Spectiye postoifices or on rural routes
starting therefrom. The list must be
mailed to the Postmaster General. it
is enjoined, in an envelope which also
must be marked personal and conf

secrecy?
It is said that The announced pur-
pose OF securing Sthsse complete lists
OF the names and addresses Of all The
farmers in the country is 10 promote

buc it is difficult 10 understand why
the compiling OF the list should be
kept secret, II that Is to be its only
use and purpose. At time when we
are insisting that international diplo-
macy shall be open and above board,
and when we have finally abandoned
The policy OF secrecy regarding the
FOOD. clothing, shelter and arms pro

that the administration should deem It
ne-,dful to place a double seal OF So

THE BREAD QUESTION

The rules OF the Food AdminiStra-
ton. made in conformity with the
Presidents proclamation for the con-
servation Of wheat supplies. with spec
ial reference 10 the bread EroGuct,
apply 10 all bakers as TO the compost
ton OF various articles and The pro
portion of flour they may contain. For
most of them il can il no case exceed
so per cent. and various substitutes
are mentioned 10 make up the rest Of
the bulk. If the bakers lind it impossi.
bic to secure the substitutes through
ordinary trade channels, they may get
the aid OF official administrators.
Victory Bread is the name Of that
containing 20 per cent or more Of
wheat flour substitutes" The name
Victory may also be applied to other
OF these attenuated wheat products
besides bread. and it is recommended
that bakers develop special brands
containing more than 20 per cent Of
the substitute material which it is
believed they will be able to do 10
their advantage"
AS matter of course the success Of
this plan for conserving wheat must de
pend largely upon the good will OF the
bakers and their customers. and it is
TO be hoped that they will comply with
the rules from motives Of patriotism
and loyalty rather than fear of penal
ties. This system OF licensing and
government control IS wholly justified
under the exceptional conditions nd
in view Of what is at stake. and it
ought to ne made in practice a matter
OF cheerful volunteering rather than OF
forced draft. There will be no extra
cost, no suffering and little sacrifice
in it. and strictly observed it may
prove a zeal service of no small Con-
sequence.
