TAKE EVERY OUNCE OF
FOOD COUNT To UTMOST
A Much Greater Burden Is Upon Us If
Peace Comes at the Earlier Date
Than Thought For.

Louisville, November IL - Peace
will make the food tasks of America
instead of lighter, statement issued
by the Educational Division of the
Food Administration says. The state
T ent follows:
"The sternest task yet set for the
rsople of the United States, in the
c1inion of the highest authorities, is
tie shipment this crop year of liz
illion tons of food. But this is the
! inimum amount which was based on
continuance of the war; the maxi
UNI demands increase day by day as
lditional territory is regained and
{ lditional thousands of people are
] Nerated.
The oo--ir~ IF rcaco will not add
rruud 1i feed 20 our surrlv. On
contrary it will enormously in
ease our food obligations because it
will allow us to reach with food the
Teople of Poland, Rumania, Serbia,
America, European Russian and 9TH
ers who are now without adequate
food supply. The total number of
these peoples has been estimated at
1S0,0000O0, some of whom have par
tial resources and others of whom are
now literally in a starving condition.
while the end of the war will
bring release of large stores of food
in the southern hemisphere, principal
ly in Australia and India, these added
stores of food will not be sufficient to
restore the starving people of Central
and Eastern Europe to health and
strength. These 1SO,OOOOOO will be in
addition to the 12O,0OO,0OO in the AL
lied nations who are now and will be
for quite while dependent upon us
for a large share of their food sup
plies.
"a tightening of the belt anew is
necessary already; whatever is sent
for the victims of war released from
German bondage will be additional.
"The demands cannot be met by
shifting from one food to another. All
food must be saved. A surplus cannot
be created by eating corn instead of
wheat; the corn also is needed-we
cannot dip very much into the sup
ply of feed for animals, because it is
in the same boat with bread grains.
Relying on food supplies out of the
ordinary will help some, but it won't
solve the problem. Calculations show
that 95 per cent. of our sustenance is
from staples. We cannot make up the
enormous deficit in staples from the
frinze of food stuffs. The main reli-
ance is always on staples and the
main saving must be on staples.
"This is the basis underlying the
new home card, which will soon be
distributed irrespective of peace terms
to serve as a daily reminder to the
people of the pledge made in their
name and with their assent to sustain

the Allies during the war in health,
comfort and courage, and to send help
quickly after the war to those whose
need is greater than ours.
"On the face of it, the thing is i'm
possible. To send from the same
stock of food as last year more than
half as much again-and we thought
we were saving last year! What we
are asked to do is to get down to the
war basis-the same basis on which
the people of Europe have sustained
themselves for four years, though
without privation.
"Nt can be done. Even in Belgium
where the supplies of the Relief Com
mission have been the only resource,
the health of the population has been
maintained; the death rate shows it.
We in America have larger resources,
more varied diet; it will not be ne
cessary for us to depend on a daily
dole of stinted rations. 1t is neces-
sary to make every ounce of food
count, every morsel contribute it's last
bit of nourishment. But we will do
it. The Educational Division is conf
dent that the people of Kentucky, who
cooperated in food saving so effectual-
ly to make victory certain, will now
under the able leadership of Federal
Food Administrator Fred M. Sackett
continue to cooperate until victory is
complete."
