They must bo fed.
Under any circumstances, the
American nation Is bound by tho
food pledge OF August, 1918. The
Allies were told: make your plans
for Victory"
To this victory, Americas contri.
button, among other things, will be
seventeen and one.hah mithon tons Of
food. America Is bound. The pledge
