The effectiveness of these rules is
dependent solely upon the good will
and the willingness to sacrifice of the
American people. In the last ANALYSIS
the success or failure of any plan
such as that outlined rests with the
people We are dependent upon the
cooperation of the trades. We have
but one police force-the American
woman; and we depend upon her to
organize in cooperation with the vari-
Gus divisional, district and local fed
eral food administrators of Alaska TO
see that these rules are obeyed by
that small minority who NAV fail. Part
| OF the rules will be enforced under
the Lever food act; other parts are
voluntary, and will depend for their
success upon public sentiment. Our
experience hitherto has shown will
| ingness of the vast majority of con-
sumers and full cooperation of the
trades to undergo the self-sacrifice nee
essary to render such measures effec-
tive. The small minority who refuse
to cooperate should not be allowed to
defeat the nations necessities.
Wheat Conservation
General Statement.-It is true that
the allies need from 100000 to 90.
100000 bushels more American wheat
1t is also true that we have already
exported the theoretical surplus OIL
last harvest over a normal consump.
ton. The American people have saved
a considerable amount, estimated at
from 25,000,00O TO 50,O00,00O bushels.
during the past five months. and this
saving is being exported. We can
not and will not export more than
our savings, for our own people must
also be fed. Every grain of wheat
and every ounce of -four and bread |
saved now is exactly that amount sup
piled to some man, woman or child |
among the allies. The American peo-
pie are being asked to further reduce |
their consumption of wheat products
and use other fOodstuffs instead, for
the allies must also have some wheat |
as we'll as ourselves. 1t is one of the
vital issues in winning the war that
we must maintain the health, strength
and morale of their men, women and
children over this winter.
