government for the 1918 crop, the
statement comes to George A. Pres
colt, Federal Food Administrator for
Michigan, that ''rumors are persistent
In certain sections of the west, and
particularly SO in some parts OF Michi-
gan" that the government guarantee
is to expire June 80. 1919.
At the instance Of the Educational
Division of the Federal Administra-
ton Mr.. Prescott renews his assurance
that the guaranteed price for wheat,
by which Michigan producers will be
protected for next years crop In ex-
actly the same manner as during the
season just closed. The order will con-
tinue effective until July /. 1920. This
is in accordance with the proclama-
ton made by President Wilson. under
authority of the Lever food control law
establishing the food administration.
The termination OF the war has no
bearing upon the guarantee OF wheat

FOOD CONDITIONS
VAST POPULATIONS OF cOUN.
TRIES IN EUROPE URGENTLY
NEED FOOD FOR THIS
WINTER.
SAVE TO HELP THESE PEOPLE

Food Administrator Hoover said be-
fore going to Europe:
Il am going to Europe to discuss tho
further food measures that must be
organized an q result of tbs cessation
Of hostil1ties. The food problem In
Europe today Is one OF extreme COM
plexity. or their 420,o0o.0o0 practt
cally only three areas-South Russia.
Hungary and Denmark-comprising
say 4o.ooo. o0o-have sufncient food
supplies to last until next harvest
without imports. Some mus. have i'm
mediate relief.
I'VE have a surplus Of some 10000
600 to 100000 tons of food II We
are economical so that the situation
can be handled II this and tho other
smaller SURPRISES In the world can Be
transported.
"Ali continental Europe has reduced
herds and is consequently. short OF
meats and especially fats. These coun-
tries have their last harvest and under
orderly governments this would fur.
nish brsadstuns and vegetables fof
various periods from two months up
wards. depending upon the ratio Of
social disorder. In these cases with
transportatsoo and financial democrat
isatton, the tendency = for peasants
to cease marketing even their Surplus
and thus instant difnculties are pro-
5ected into thu cities even when 70
sources are available In the country.
The peasant and villager Of Europe
always provides for himself for the
whole year in any event. The prob
lem thus narrows itself to the support
of the cities and large towns pending
restoration of order and the establish
ment of confidence In future supplies
and the cities are the center of an
arohistic infection.
Arrangements have long since been
completed by which the big Allies,
that is, France, England and Italy will
be provisioned. This covers 125, 000,.
600 people.
Our first and deepest concern now
must be for the little Allies who were
under the German yoke-they are the
Belgians. Serbians, Ronmarians,
Greeks, Zechs. Jugo-Slavs and others.
There are some 100000 people in
these groups and they must be sys-
tematically helped and at once. We
have already doubled the streams Of
food flowing toward Belgium.
Our next concern must be to relax
blockade measures as far as possible
in order that the neutral states in
Europe who are now all on short ra-
tions. should be able to take care of
their people and prevent the growth
Of anarchy. This 10 another group OF
about 40.000.000.
The Belding banner-news. (Belding, Mich.) 1918-1973, 1918-12-25

Another problem lies in the 3d.
100000 people In North Russia, large
part of whom are inaccessible owing
to the breakdown OF transportation
and through sheer anarchy. Millions
OF these are beyond help this winter.
These groups are the ones that must
enlist the sympathy of the American
people and for whom we are prepared
to make any sacrifice.
There is a great problem In the
situation of the enemy people, about
10000. O00 This problem is not one
Of going to their relief II is prob
lem of relaxing the watertight block
ade, which continues through the
armistice. sufficiently so that they may
secure for themselves the bare neces.
stiles that will give stable government.
Unless anarchy can be put down and
stability of government can be OBJ.
tanned In these enemy states, thera
will be nobody to make peace with
and nobody to pay the bill to France
and Belgium for the fearful destruc-
ton that has been done. l would GER
tainly approach this problem with mix
ed feelings. having been long a wit
ness to the robbery of food from wom-
en- and children and the destruction
of millions Of tons of food at sea and
to the misery under which the millions
amongst the big and little Allies have
suffered under the German yoke. JUS
tice requires that government be es-
tablished able to make amends for
wrongs done, and it cannot be accom-
plished through spread Of anarchy.
Famine is the mother of anarchy"
