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.
rificc will depend Europe's fate In the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program.
the magnitude Of which Ii 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 II $40.
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons Of food to Europe in the comiRG
yenr-as much As can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America. 1t would have been impos.
sible for them to maintain their de-.
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary bas!s. the American people
have conclusIvely proved that democ-
racy Is success ana that In time Ut
uecd 1t will rise to Its own defense.
II there were no other accomplish.
mcnt TO Its credit the very fact that II
has shown the strength of democracy
has In itself more thnn 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 iSeet Americas
food problem on q basis Of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Mnny thinking Americana" said
Mr.. Hoover. '>And the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months In the fear that demo.
critic America could not organize to
meet autocrntlc Germany. Germany
has been confident that II could not be
done. Contrary proof Il Immediately
ut our door, and our people have al.
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize. organize. endure aud prepare
Voluntarily aud efficiently In many d..
rsctions and upon the mere word Of
Inspiration aside from the remarkable
assctnblass Of our Army and finances. !"
The history Of the Food Admin!stru.
ton has clearly shown that the trust
Of those who put their faith 10 democ.
racy has not been misplaced.
