Mr.. Wolff, in the article in "Collier's
Weekly" already quoted, emphasizes the
need of saving wheat for export, explain
ing that
"The world is short of wheat, and has been
since the began. In France, Italy and
England, which grow only small proper
ton Of their wheat in any case, the men who
worked the land are in the trenches. Rus
sia's great supply is useless for there is no
way Of moving it. Russia, with vast sur
plus of wheat, has been unable even to relieve
famine in whole provinces Of her own terri
tory. And the steel wall Of the Ieuton
armies and the blood -drenched barrier of the
Dardaneles shut her wheat of from the rest
CT Europe. There is wheat in the Argentine
and in India and Australia. Australian wheat
comes TO our Pacific Coast, slowly and safely,
in sailing vessels. But all that wheat is
practically barred from our allies in Europe
because the long haul imposes too great a
tax on the scanty shipping available, and the
submarine menace is doubled when the
Mediterranean must be crossed So the
United States and Canada must supply Eu-
rope, excepting the Central Powers, we'll
as themselves.
"And there is not enough wheat in the
world to maintain the supply on a rre-war
basis. 1t is not a question of price. Unless
America cuts down its consumption Of white
flour, people arc going to starvc in Europe"

conservation. These facts have been
brought out by the press from day to day.
But far more serious than any hotel or
restaurant failure to observe the days OF
restraint is considered the attitude of The
general public, which does most of its eat
ing at home. 1t is difficult TO get at facts,
but, so far as the evidence appears, this
ome-eating public shows little real ap-
probation of the seriousness of the stua-
ton. Here is the news picture: Butcher
shops throughout the country report that
their customers demand beef and mutton
on Tuesdays to almost the usual extent.
Bakers explain that they must sell wheat
bread for Wednesday or lose their trade.
In some sections Of the country where
cornmeal can be bought at something near
the cost of wheat -four. there appears to be
an increased use Of it, and there is some
indication that rye flour is growing in
popularity, but, as a general thing, the de-
mand for wheat continues with little dis
position to use any available substitute.
THE Second Line Of Defence
/ Doesn't Measure Up
"The Lewiston Udaho) Tribune sums
up the situation thus:
"The country's second line of defencc--ts
civilian organization-is not measuring up to
tho responsibilities associated with a. condi-
ton of desperate bellgerency, at least so far
as food conservation is concerned, and it is
becoming evident that the government will
have to resort to some means of constraint
ii the available supplies are to serve the most
imperative of our military needs. We
have already exported the entire surplus of
our wheat supplies, using normal consump-
ton as the basis for computing the surplus.
There has been certain amount Of ind-
vidual economy and substitution. but this
has been Offset by increased consumption of
staple rations by the men in training and in
auxiliary services"

The chief difficulty, however, seems still
to be the question of cost. "The Boston
Herald" asks:
GLOW can people be encouraged to use fish
instead Of beef if the price Of fish, in proper
ton to its food value, remains higher than
that of beef?
at is much harder to transform the trad

and this, it is stated, will require more labor
than is now available in the mines. The
difficulty may be met by employing men in
the work of mining who are now occupied at
other tasks that are less essential"

of bread eaten in this country means one less
loaf for our soldiers and our allies. .
"The government does not ask us to go
hungry; it only asks us to eat those things
which cannot be shipped abroad. When we
think Of what allies have suffered for
the last three years. the governments de-
mand that sacrifice some of our ease and
convenience is almost too small a sacrifice
to come under a reasonable definition Of that
word"
And what is true of wheat is true only
in somewhat lesser degree, Of sugar,
fats and meat. The meat supply, except
for pork, is in better proportion to the de-
mand than wheat, but can not remain so
long without the strictest conservation.
y educing the Demand for
N Certain Things
Mr.. Wolff points out that it is not a
question Of price, except incidentally.
Many of the substitutes advised perhaps
cost more than the article whose conser-
walton is necessary. Cornmeal, for in
stance, is still scarce and expensive in the
East, though that condition may be only
temporary; fish Of high quality often
costs more than beef. The food control,
however, is concerned chiefly with provid-
ing and maintaining the supply, not mere
ly for American demand but for the
worlds need, as war necessity. 1t re-
mains question of supply and demand
the point wherein the American public
can become effective being in reducing the
demand for certain things. "Hoover,"
says Mr.. Wolff, "has seen to the supply
you will make the demand! Wheat, and
meat, and sugar and fats"
There are brighter spots on the map
than New York's report or that from
Idaho would Indicate "The Vicksburg
Herald" claims that practically all the
hotels and restaurants in Mississippi are
carefully observing the mcatless and
wheatlcss days. And "The indianapolis
News" asserts that

n Tr. Hoover Power Extends
1V1 So Far and No Further

With the exception OF Minnesota which
has drastic laws, capable Of enforcement,
there is little or no power in the various
state controls or in the Federal govern
ment to enforce the recommendations Of
the Administration. Mr.. Hoover can con-
troll the wholesaler (has done SOY, and in
some measure can reach the retailer, but
neither he nor the state officer can reach
the restaurant or hotel, or the local
butcher and bakcr-still less the indi-
vidual consumer. Legislation to remedy
this may come. Oklahoma City has led the
way In passing Il city ordinance prescrib-
ing it to be "seditous act for any person,
firm or corporation to violate the author
lied rules Of the national food admins
tration" as to meatless and wheatless
days. Whatever the legal effect of city
ordinance defining such acts as "sedi-
tious" may be, it is straw to show the
direction in which the winds Of law-mak-
ing are likely to blow. Many cities are
considering ordinances prohibiting the
sale of meats and wheat bread on specified
days.

situation Many years ago some mothers
taught their children that wilfully to waste
bread crust meant one would go hungry
on the following day. The truth of this old
teaching is about to be brought home to the
people generally"
THE Emporia Gazette" claims that 'the
general observance Of meatless days has
resulted in a fair supply of meat for ex-
port" and sees in this good omen for
better habits in the country as to meat
eating. "The Wilmington (Del.) News"
while believing the people have been
taught q lesson in sound economy" adds:
but what the country has done in saving
only indicates what can be done, for the sur
face of saving has hardly been scratches.
AS the war proceeds and as the campaign or
agitation continues the conservation of food
will become greater and larger, and larger
will be the surplus for our Allies"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-06

The food administration, however, Is
still inclined to rely on moral suasion and
to ask the public for voluntary co0pera-
ton in regulation Of demand, with which
will come, automatically, certain amount
of price regulation. The steps are still
tentative. Charles B. Cheney, writing in
'"The Minneapolis Journal for Mr..
Hoover's bureau, Declares:
"War-time necessities are working a revo-
luton in she food economies OF the Ameri-
can people, and the people are just beginning
to wake up to the full meaning OF the United
States food administration plan. Regulating
food distribution and prices for 10O,O00,0Oo
persons is one Of the biggest things Uncle
Sam has ever undertaken. 1t is so big ana
so entirely new that even the men who are
directing the campaign learning some
thing of interest and value every day.

One form of "moral suasion" that is
being tried in New York and other cities
comes in the form of postcard, which is
submitted by the waiter to any guest who
demands meat on Tuesday or wheat bread
on Wednesday. He must sign the card
before being served, if served at all. 1t
