PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Savjn,
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and -
nee of the American people must ha
attributed the continued beo,.S
strength and morale Of the Allad ~.
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and
rifics will depend Europe's fate IN N.
months to come. In the past y.ar ,~o
have carried out an export provrom
the magnitude Of which is almost ~
yond comprehension. But with ths
new demands that have come w,.S
the liberation of nations freed frns.
German oppression, our exports mrs,
be almost doubled. Instead of II $40.
600 tons, We must ship twenty million
tons OF food to EuroIe in the comina
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed h.
America, 1t would have been impos-
sible for them 10 maintain their do.
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purev
voluntary basis, the American peopls
have conclusively proved that democ.
racy Is success ano that In time Of
need It will rise to Its own defense
IL there were no other accomplish-
ment to Its credit the very fact that #
has shown the strength of democracy
has in Itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
In the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after tha
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrators expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis OF voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
MANY thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize 10
meet autoeratlc Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not he
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
Mt our door. and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d.
rections and upon the mere word of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances
The history of the Food Administers
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in democ-
racy has not been misplaced.

American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tIon's War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted q
Famine at Home In Spite
- Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people OF the
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as q whole stood ready to fol-
low the inJunctions of the Government
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
tribution and In September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the inJunctions OF the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end of August Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety TO those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
it would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar. BY II we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight
Now the nation is in a position so
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far afield, can maintain Its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Admlnistra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra loaVes
of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshlng meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields TO gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers or the
United States this year saved fully
10000. 900 bushels OF wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves OF bread for every person IN
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 33 grain states to the u
:. Food Administration. Other states
although not prepared to furnish den
mite figures of conservation IN the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was I'm direct response TO re-
quests by the Food Administrator
which asked farmers and thresherineh
to reduce harvest losses from aboul
81 per cent.-the estimated average
I'm normal times-to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the ofhciai
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Oh
racks with leaky bottoms were sem
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thres"-
ing ma cbtnas were stopped until the
cause of waste WAS removed. but !"

engaged in gathering the nations srain

SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events It
is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris
Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo

results already obtained In every dl.

that democracy will not defend itself
