the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use OF
less wheat products than one and one

ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme In order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts Of the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large pro
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
tion of the public by further limita-
ton of distribution, and we shall place
ut once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation of the distributing
trades.
