TRUTH ABOUT FOOD SITUATION

So many varying and sometimes
misleading reports regarding the food
situation in Europe, have been coming
over, that the food administration has
deemed it advisable to issue state
ment regarding actual conditions.
1t appears that there is actually no
starvation in any of the allied coun-
tries, not even in Belgium. People are
on short rations, yet really manage to
live. Even during the blacklist days in
Belgium there was not actual starva-
ton so much as danger of starvation.
Every one of the countries now de-
pending upon us for food is without
reserve supplies. All have rations for
today and are able to fight and work,
and the visitor going about among the
people would be quite within the truth
in writing home that there was no
starvation.
The ever-present danger, the SUI
preme peril is, that something may in
terrupt the flow of food from this
country. Any disaster to shipping
would do it. Lack of cooperation in
food saving here might do it. If We
fail in our great war responsibility
the larder of the allies would be swept
as bare as Mother Hubbard's cup
board within two weeks. That would
step war work and weaken the fight
ing force on the western front.
That is the true danger, and no OPP
timistic stories from allied countries
should be permitted to weaken our
determination to help the allies thru
the food stringency which will be in
creasingly acute from now until the
end of this year.
Again and again it must be en-
phasized that our food program, both
for the allies and ourselves. is based
upon facts planned to secure results
over long period and that it must be
adhered to both in spirit and letter.
That is the gospel of food saving in
nutshell.

Senator Smoot has projected a pro-
posal for one fast day a month. This
is done in the face of an announce
ment by the food administration that
there is an abundance of food in the
country. Mr.. Hoover's office, at no
time, has asked the people to eat less,
but merely has urged the substitution
of other articles of diet for those
most needed to supply our army and
our allies. The war has been produc-
tive of so many fool suggestions that
one more such as Shoots is not likely
to attract general attention.
