e1ylilg Of those to
-f.-->-s--eiy pledged, we now
fave the splendid opportunity and OBJ
lljeetion of meeting the needs Of those
lions Of people III the hitherto &C.
iied territories who are facing &C.
i3a starvation.< The people Of Bel
afn, Northern France, Serbia. Rou-
&nia, Montenegro, Poland, Russia
and Armenia rely upon America for
Immediate aid. We must also par
ticipate in the preservation of the
newly liberated nation in Austria; nor
can we ignore the effect on the future
world developments of famine con-
diticn among those other people whom
we have recently released from our
enemies. al these considerations
mean that upwards of two hundred
million people, in addition to those
we are already pledged to serve, are
now looking to US in their misery and
famine. Oar appeal today is therefore
larger than the former appeal to the
"war conscience" of our people. The
new appeal is to the "wOrld consci-
ence," which must be the guiding in
SEPARATION Of our future program
"The President of the United States
has asked me to take charge for this
government of this work; to perfect
and enlarge the arrangements for
foodstuffs to the populations of Bel
GUM and France, now being released,
and to organize and determine the
need of provisions to the liberated
peoples of Southern Europe to pre-
vent such debacle as has taken place
in Russia.
"The determining factor for the
success of such an enlarged appeal
will be the vivid consciousness in
every indi> idual in each community
Of obligation and opportunity. 1t is
that common recognition Of obligation,
that we now wish. to create. Such an
Intelligent world conscience" in the
American people must he the main
dependence Of the stricken countries
Of the world until normal conditions
are once more restored.
"America by her participation in the
war has accomplished her detectives
Of self-defense and Of vindicating the.
efficiency Of a government in which
the people. and the people only, are
sovereign. She has established the
foundations Of government by the
people throughout the enemy coun-
tries. and this is the real bulwark of
world peace. We have yet to build on
these foundations. No government
nor nation can stand if it's people are
starving. We must do our part, if
the world be not consumed in flame
Of anarchy.
"rhe American people, in this most
critical period Of their history, have
the opportunity to demonstrate, not
only their ability to assist in estab-
fishing peace on earth, hut also their
conservation, by self-denial, to the
cause Of suffering humanity.

OvershadOwing all other accomplish
ments Ct the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
is the history Of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved cOnclusively to
the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight Of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping of large move
ments Of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The ac-
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the peO
pies Of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
a wheat supply which gave us only
2O,OOO,0O0 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent IA, 100000 bushels Of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out Of their normal consumption
121, 100000 bushels.
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation of flour brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution in our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 100000
barrels of white four-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the LIST Of December our sur.
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional $4,000, 600 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies. It SEEM
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 1OO,OOO,OO0
bushels by July 1. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending 85,OOOOOO BUSH
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first Of the
year and the advent Of the new crop.
By October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped 65,06O.30 bushels since July
|. Absolutely the only Limitation upon
sanr wheat exports since the latest har-
Vet has been the scarcity Of ocean
st6nnage. If exports continue at the
present rate, by July l Of next year
We will have sent more than 237, $780,
600 bushels to Europe.
Thus are We mailing good Americas
pledge that the brad rations Of Allied
Europe shall ,be maintained

Il have read with great sympathy the
petition addressed to me by your repre-

celebration of Independence Day, and l
wish to convey to you, in reply, my heart
felt appreciation for its expressions of
loyalty and good will. Nothing in this war

ner in which our foreign born fellow citi-
ZenS and the sons and daughters of the
foreign born have arisen to this greatest

shown where YOU stand, not only by your
cause for which we fight, but by your Gag

including the supreme service of offering
life itself in battle for justice. freedom
you have shown all distinctions of race
vanish, and we feel ourselves citizens in
a republic of free spirits.
II therefore take pleasure in calling
your petition, with my hearty common
dation, to the attention of all my fellow
countrymen and 1 ask that they unite
with you in making the Independence
Day of his the year when all the prin-
cples to which we stand pledged are on

history.

mocracy for this nation, let u.s. on July 4,
1913, celebrate the birth of new and
greater spirit of democracy, by whose in
fiuence we hope and believe what the
signers of the Declaration of Independence
dreamed of for themselves and their fell
low countrymen shall be fulfilled for all
