solved, that while the increased prod uc-
ton Of the United States renders it
possible to relax some Of the restric-
tons which haxe been borne with
peculiar hardship upon all our people
vet It is absolutely necessary that rigid
economy and elimination Of waste in
the consumption and handling Of all
foOdstuffs as well as increased produc-
tion. should be maintained throughout
the European allied countries and in
North America. It is only by such
economy and elimination of waste that
the transportation of necessary men
and supplies from North America to
the European front can be accomplish
ed and that stocks Of foodstuffs can be
built up in North America as an insur-
ance against the ever present danger
of harvest failure and the possible
necessity for large and emergency
drafts to Europe. We cannot admin
lister the food problem on the basis Of
one years war. We must prepare for
it's long continuance if we are to insure
absolute victory" y
