large number of passengers and a

dry Goldfish and herring for New York
and 1000 barrels for Halifax, her only

In making this disclosure Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover declared that the

The whole blame is put by the food
administrator on railroad congestion,
which he says also has thrown the
food administration far behind in its
program for feeding the allies. The
only solution he sees Is q greatly in
creased rail movement Of foodstuffs,
even to the exclusion OF much other
commerce.
The railroad administration Ia In
clined to resent Mr.. Hoover's blame
on the railroads, and Director General
McAdoo declared he was ready to pro-
vide every transportation facility for
expediting food movement. The rail-
road administration, he said, had sug-
gested that farmers be urged to release
their grain holdings, that large num-
bers Of available cars might be until

Cereal exports to the allies, Mr..
Hoover's statement says, will be 49,.
100000 bushels short on March / and
meat shipments also are far short Of
amounts promised.
Inability to move the crops, Mr..
Hoover sets forth, has suspended the
law Of supply and demand and has
created a price margin between pro-
1ucer and consumer wider than 1t ever
Was before.
Potatoes, the food administrator de-
'lares, are spelling in the producers
