COLUMBUS DAY
SHOULD BE BIG
EVENT IN U. S
State Food Boss Points Out Land
of Discoverer and America
United in Cause.

Oklahoma city, Oct THE Unit
ed States has particular reason today
for the celebration of Columbus Day
in view of the fact thai this country
and the land OF Columbus are locked
in an alliance for the preservation OF
world civilization. said c. y. Ames,
federal food administrator for Okla
homa. in statement issued today.
Italy gave to the world the discoy-
erer of this great country. America
now gives the land OF Columbus fooo
and fighting men to aid in the com
mon battle against aro@ance anu
autocracy. During the 42G years
which marks the lapse of time be
tween the discovery Of America and
the sailing Of the first transport OF
American soldiers for the European
battlefield, changes have been record
ed by history for these countries.
Italy has her Mazzini and her Carl
badi: America her Washington and
Lincoln. But today we find these
two countries drawn together to
fight common foe a l1o that
threatens the future not oniy OF the
allied nations but Of all civilization.
The courageous rally ol M italla~
army after temporary disaster viii al
ways stand out as one of the dra-
matte incidents Of The war. Italy,
like the other allies, has become war
weary. She has had to summon all
her moral and material forces to keep
in the fight She needed Americas
reinforcement. How keenly she ap-
preciated it when it came and how
quickly she has responded to ii is
shown in the following words Of vel
come to our boys. "A cause which
by force of its ideals has succeeded
in drawing to itself the aid of so
great people cannot fail to tri-
amph." I'VE shall Triumph We
shall Conquer" Is Italy's rejuvena-
tion resolve.
Americas responsibility in fosters
ing and maintaining this resolve does
not end with the sending of her sol
diers. There is the further response
biity Of sharing her food with Italy,
Contrast for moment the follow
ing food conditions America is be
ing asked just now to confine her
beef consumption to the lighter cuts
of beef; otherwise there are no spe-
cial meat restrictions. A weekly
meat report in a Milan paper during
July reads: Meat is SO scarce that
it viii either have to be limited TO
sick people or be sold but two days
nj the week. There is a great Of
pork" 'In Genoa the new meal regu
