giOnS, with conditions most serious in
Finland
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll Of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes it's toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. AL
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton Of food which can be ham

the very least a minimum OF 100000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,000 tons ex-

by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts Of
