"we're not calling on the American

Thus Herbert c, Hoover. food ad-
ministrator, settled the question that
has puzzled the American public ever

prive ourselves to feed our ruthless
enemies, the Huns?'

Before leaving he made it clear to
newspaper men that HIS efforts and
those OF the other food commissioners
will be directed first to alleviating the
food scarcities among the little allies
