OF our people to save food in order that we may
supply our associates in the war with the susten-
ance vitality necessary to them in these DAYS of
privation and stress. The reduced productivity
of Europe because of the large diversion of man
power TO the war, the partial failure of harvests
and the elimination of the more distant markets
for foodstuffs through the destruction of ship
ping places the burden of their subsistence very
largely on our shoulders. The food administra-
