wide appeal TO American housewives
to increase food conservation that this
country may save the people released
from German oppression from famine
that means anarchy and continued
bloodshed is being planned by the
Food Administration.
A campaign to reach every Ameri-
can housewife will be conducted all Of
next week. 1t will be known as
Conservation Week for World Re-
lief" and every medium of reaching
the American people will be utilized.
Tells why Relief Is vital.
In announcing the campaign the
Food Administration says:
THE conservation week campaign
will bring out the need for saving
food and sharing 1t with the Allies
and the liberated nations. Conserva-
ton is absolutely vital to the relief Of
stricken Europe. Famine is the
mother OF revolt and anarchy. II we
allow hunger to take its toll Of life In
Europe the red scourge of revolution
is bound to spread. and we will see a
definite collapse of the peace for which
we fought and bled. We entered the
conflict with the avowed purpose of
establishing world peace, and IL we
allow this to be disrupted by uprisings
and anarchy We will have destroyed
the very thing for which we entered
the fray and which is now in sight.
in the coming year we must send

tically the limit of loading capacity at
our ports. The magnitude of this un-
dertaking may better be understood in
comparison with our pre-war exports
of less than 100000 tons a year and
the export last year Of only 11,S20,00
tons.
Fats, Meats and Feed Needed.
routes are again open to commerce the
European nations can draw upon the
wheat supplies in India and Australia.
Consequently this country will not be
called upon to make up the entire Eu-
ropean wheat deficit, and our export
efforts must he centred more largely
upon fats. meat and feeding stuffs.
Europe liz extremely short of feed
and fodder. and a rapid deterioration
Of meat and dairy herds has followed
as II natural consequence. Our eX-
ports must be largely increased in or
der that the European herds may be
rehablitated, and also that the imme
diate supplies Of milk may be increased
by proper feeding.
The reasons for these changes in
our food programme will be fully ex-
p.ained at many of the meetings 10 be
held next week. Special emphasis will
he laid upon the serious results abroad
which would follow our failure to meet
the request for continued conservation.
