1918 conservation program.
The critical situation in the allied
countries and the amount of food
the United States is expected TO
share with them was set forth in a
preliminary statement Friday night
by Food Administrator Hoover. who
received a cablegram from Lord
Rhondda. the British controller
which said:
Unless you are able 70 send the
allies at least 100000 bushels of
wheat over and above what YOU
have exported up TO Jan. 1 and in
addition TO the eXportable surplus
from Canada i cannot take the re-
spOnsibility OF assuring our people
that there will he enough food TO
win the war"
Although the food administra-
tons plans contemplate creating
the export surplus largely by vol
untary effort. some measures Of
forced conservation will be en-
ployed. notably in the consumption
of wheat flour. which will be re-
duced by arbitrary means al least
80 percent This reduction will be
accomplished by limiting the sales
OF distributors all the way from the
miller TO the retailer
In giving the volume OF exports
he hopes TO supply to Europe. Mr..
Hoover declared that no food would
be sent out of the country than is
saved and that in no event would

dangered.

the American people save from

lieye our people will not fail TO
meet the emergency"
Belgium Needs Help Too.
In addition to 100000 bushels
OF wheat for the allies. Mr.. Hoover
says that Belgium must be given
100000 bushels and that Cuba
and neutrals must be spared at least
ten million bushels.
We estimate" says his statement
tonight, that the American people
have saved as much as $4,000. 600

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund

A railroad ticket that cost $3.50 in
l9l| cost S5.40 yesterday.
Ihe Tribune Fresh Air Fund will
need more money for it's work this
year than ever before. In 1917 the
public gave the fund $4,000. In 1913
the fund will need nearly thrice that
amount. This is not because the fund
plans to provide more vacations this
year than last, though it hopes to do
that.
The explanation of the doubled need
Is indicated in the increase in the cost
of the railroad ticket.
Ihe ticket in question was for a
round trip to Hornell, N. Y. Last year
the people of Hornell entertained a.
party of about seventy Fresh Airsn
Tor vacations. One of the youngsters
made such firm friends with her hosts
that they have invited her to come aad
speho the summer with them this year
More Money Needed
When the fund came to buy the
ticket for her round trip, it cost
So.4o, as against $3.50 in 1917, an in
crease OF more than 81 per cent. No
one will think $5.4O is too much to
pay Tor whole summers outing for
a child of the tenements, but the per
centage of increase is enormous and
means that tremendous additional
burden of expense is to be put upon
the fund this year
The Hornell Fresh Air Committee
says That 1T Is going to entertain 100
chlidren this year instead of seventy
Inc cost Of transportation for the
party will be $3.50 greater this wear
than 1t would have been Ger the same
party last year.
IN Ibis summer the fund in buying
900 quarts of milk day for the
children entertained at its Fresh Air
homes and camps. In 1915 milk cost
i've cents a quart; in 1918 the cost
has risen to an average of eight and
lhree-h1ths cents per quart, an in
crease of " per cent. Ir the same
period the cost of bread has risen from
four cents a pound to eight cents, an
increase Of 100 per cent-and the fund
purchases 1000 loaves of bread a day
during the summer.
Expenses Have Increased
For the wages and salaries of the
people who care for the "Fresh Airs"
while they are in the camps and homes
the cooks who prepare their food,
the maids who make their beds, the
laundresses who wash their clothes.
the leaders who entertain them and
act as their hosts-for the wages and
salaries of these people the Fund has
had to provide an increase of rs per
cent this year over normal years.
In 1917 the cost per capita of the
vacations provided by The Tribune
tund was S5.95, as against a per
capita OF S456 in 1915. This was an
increase Of only a little more than
80 per cent, but within that period
there was no increase in railroad rates
for the beneficiaries of the Fund. The
prices Of most commodities have con-

Oppose Move Against
Gifts ON Christmas

Merchants throughout the country
are inclined to take issue with the
Council of National Defence because
Of a notice sent out recently by the
council asking that a campaign be
inaugurated against Christmas gifts
The Retail Dry Goods Association is
sued a statement yesterday protesting
against the action of the council.
The Association insists that the
government, through the regulation Of
the use Of all commodities for manu-
featuring purposes, will do whatever
curtailing is necessary in tho matter
of useless gift giving this coming holi-
day season. If a publicity campaign is
started in an effort to prevent the pub
lie observing the usual holiday custom,
the association declares much harm
may result.
"The belief is expressed" says the
statement, "that this matter Is already
sufficiently controlled by the War In
dustries Board, for the reason that
many merchants have already been
notified by the manufacturers from
whom they have ordered toys, jewelry
and similar articles that deliveries
cannot be made because of inability to
secure coal and basic metals. The
merchants believe, because Of this fact,
that the manufacture Of non-essentials
is being properly regulated by the gov
ernment at the source Of production
and there Is no need for any special
publicity campaign upon this Ques-
tion."
