Mr.. Hoover This
Year
s. I

~ Asst year VIC asked for Il
80 great deal of substitution of
one commodity for another,
but this year we must have
direct decrease in the food consumed"
This statement by Mr.. Hoover is the basis
of the food administration new pro
gramme, which in the course Of an in
terview with William Almon Wolff. Mr..
Hoover briefly outlined. That pro-
grammc is presented in part in the fol-
lowing paragraphs, taken from Mr.
Wolff's report of his interview, in Col
licr's Weekly" The Food Administra-
tor is speaking:
"lf we examine the cost of foodstuffs
broadly in the United States. we see that
there has been an increase du 'iug the last
twelve months of about 3i2 per cent: We
arrive at this by taking the total monthly
consumption of foodstuifs for the nation
and the average wholesale price during the
month. We thus arrive at the whole ma
tional food bill an increase. as | say. of
about 3 Il per cent. This increase is much
less than the increase in rents and cloth
ing and less than the increase in WAGES.
At the same time there has been larger
increase than 81 per cent to the farmer,
the difference having been squeezed out OF
speculation and distribution Of food. In
the matter OF conservation Of food we
felt we had difficult programme last wear.
as we had to provide for the export OF
about ten million tons of foodstuTs as
against an average export prior TO the
war of about five million tons per annum.
This was accomplished by the devotion of
the American people The coming year
however, we must export nearly fifteen
million TONS and our resources arc no
greater than last year. That is, they arc
no greater if we consider all of our pro
duction en- bloc. While our production of
wheat is larger, have less production
of the other cereals, and this will affect
our animal production and many other
issues.
The programme will be more difficult
to handle next year than last, for many
reasons; one of them is that we must ask
the American people further to directly re-
duce their consumption. Last year we

in Stamboul:
''In the yard of the Yeni Djami Mosque,
or, better still, the mosque Of the Sultan
Bayazd in STEAMBOAT, no one can fail to be
reminded of the Bible paragraph which tells
how Christ went into the temple of Jerusa-
lem and overthrow the tables OF the money
changers and of them that sold doves But
you have entered the precincts of the mosque
only, not the sanctuary within its walls. To
give the impression that the Mahometan does
not reverence his place of worship would
be far from the truth. Perhaps it is the
very intimate association of all aspects of
his life with religion that draws the Mos
lem into the shadow of the mosques to carry
on such business as is requisite to exist
ence; and certainly it is convenient for the
pious man to trade close to the place where
he prays, as the Prophet commanded, five
times each day. In any event, you may al
ways find here, in the shadow of the mosque
yards, the hustle and confusion of Eastern

will aim at conservation by teaching
now to make the cheaper cuts of beef,

set free its proportion of essential
food for the relief of those whose

Washington, December 10 - Ken

workers for governmental service at
Washington during the year and half

Service Commission today.
While it has not been possible to OBJ

nearly $4,000 were employed IN Wash

These figures, of course, apply only

are few cases to be tried and it is
thought that court will be in session

Newell will relieve the Jurors as soon

The Grand Jury meets on the same

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
URGED BY PRELATE
Should Have Support of Moral Forces,
He Says POntiff EXcrted All His
Powers to Mitigate the HOr-
rOrs of War.

New York, December 1O-A league
of nations, supported not only by the
governmental, but also by the moral
forces of the world, was favored as
means of attaining reace in an ad
dress here yesterday by Monsignor
Sigourney Fay, domestic prelate to the
Pope. He declared that the greatest
influence welded by any individual in
the coming international conclave
would be exercised by President Will
son.
Speaking before the league of polit-
ical education as a member of the
Pope's official family but not, as he
expressly stated, for the pontiff, Mon
signor Fay declared that the head of
the Catholic church had utilized all
the power he possessed to mitigate
the horrors of war. The Pope could
not intervene between Lutheran Ger
many and Catholic Belgium, he said,
but protested against outrages by
"whomsoever committed" including
protestant Germany and Catholic Aus
tria. The pontiff, he stated, also made
possible the diversion of large funds to
the relief of Belgium sufferers.
In a review of Christianity, Monsig-
nor Fay asserted that when various
nations, after the reformation defied
the Pope in the exercise of powers
granted by the people themselves"
wars had continued for more than 400
years.

A NATTER OF ONSCENCE

So far as we have been able TO
learn, no authentic construction OF
the governments request to refrain
from using autos on Sunday has been
made public, in SO far as 1t relates 10
the use OF the auto as a conveyance
to church. 1t is, perhaps, impossible
to make a general ruling to lit all
phases of this matter, and it is pre-
sumed that the desire of the govern
ment is that the spirit of the request
be observed, and that reason. COM
mon sense, and, most OF all, con-
science, should be the guides OF each
individual in constituting the request
This is in effect, the only interpreta-
ton of the request that has been
made by the fuel administration,
which stated in so many words that
'the conscience of each citizen must
be his best guide in determining
whether, it is proper to ride to church
on Sundays in a motor car" The
statement of the administration adds:
"Where churches can be reached reas,
onably in another way, automobiles
should not be used"
We are absolutely certain that 1t
was never the intention of the gov
eminent to keep people from attend
ing church, and we should hold that
where the distance to church is con-
siderable, or where persons are aged,
or weak, or ailing, and no other
means of transportation is convent
emit, 1t is perfectly right and proper
to use the automobile, and no one
should criticise the action. In other
words, If there is an alternative of
riding to church in an auto or re-
naming away from church, we should
unhesitatingly and emphatically say
unhesitatingly and emphatically say
At the same time, more is expected
of the church-going class Of people
than of others, and they should, SC
far. as possible, set ar example OF
patriotism and compliance with the
wishes of the government. If per-
son is in good health and lives but
few blocks distant from church, Il
will certainly not hurt him or he:
to walk that distance. One should &c
to some inconvenience, indeed, tt
prove ones willingness to make
trifing sacrifice or exertion in sucl
a cause. If everybody should seiz'
upon going to church as excuse t.
use their autos, the bars would sool
be entirely down, and the whole pro
gram of conservation defeated.
It all reverts back to the guidanc
of conscience for each individual, an
