Why We Must Save Food

on the farms. Even the men
of the European neutral coun-
tries are under arms. The
fields of both Allies and neu-
trails lack man power, fertili-
ger and machinery. Hence,
the production of food by these
countries has steadily lessened
ever since the beginning of the
war, while, at the same time,
the shortage of shipping has
grown more and more serious
with the consequent steady in
crease of difficulties in bring
ing food from the faraway
markets of India, Australia,
and the Argentine.
The situation has become
critical. There is simply not
enough food in Europe, yet the
soldiers of the Allies must be
maintained in full strength,
their wives and children at
home must not face famine;
the friendly neutrals must not
be starved; and, finally, our
own army in France must not
lack a needed ounce of food.
There is just one way in
which all these requirements
can be met. North America
must furnish the food. And
we must furnish it from our
savings because we have al
ready sent our normal surplus.
We do not need to starve
our own people, We have
plenty for ourselves, and it is
the firm policy of the Food Adj
ministration to retain for our
people, by it's control of ex-
ports, a sufficient supply of
every essential foodstuff. We
want nobody in our country to
eat less than is necessary for
good health and full strength,
for America needs the full pro-
ductive power of all it's peo-
pie. Much of the needed saw
ing can be effected bv substi-
tuting one kind of food for an
other. But the time has come
to put all selfishness and dis
loyalty aside. The time has
come for sacrifice.
The Allies ask us to meet
only their absolutely impera-
tive needs. They are restrict
ing the consumption of their
own people to the minimum
necessary for health a d
strength. They are controlling
their food by drastic govern
ment regulation. There is even
actual privation among their
women and children; there is
starvation in Belgium.
The Allies need wheat and
meat and fats and sugar. They
must have more of all of these
than we have been sending,
more than we shall be able to
send unless we restrict our
own consumption. We can do
it without harm, for, as a ma
ton, we are today eating and
wasting much more food than
we need.
The whole great problem of
winning the war rests primar-
lily on one thing the loyalty
and sacrifice of the American
people in the matter of food.
