PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
dee Of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
'rif,e will depeLd Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 1.S2O,-
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons Of food to Europe in the coming
year-ass much as can be pushed
through our ports.
Ii the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos-
sible for them to maintain their de
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
need it will rise to its own defense
Ii there We're no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that it
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet America
food problem on basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
''AIany thinking Americans" said
| Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anXiously the last
four months in the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany Germany
has been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
| at our door, and our people have al
| ready demonstrated their ability tt
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
| voluntarily and efficiently in many di
rections and upon the mere word o.
/ inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances.
The history of the Food Administra
/ ton has clearly shown that the trus
| of those who put their faith in democ
1 racy has not been misplaced.
