Food Administration

The food administration tonight lS- sued this statement:
 "The following is summary of the rules that have been formulated by the United States food administration with the approval of the president, in order to effect the further conservation in foodstuffs necessary to support the allies and our own armed forces over the next four months. These rules are | effective from the morning Of Monday, January 18th.
 "The effectiveness of these rules is | dependent solely upon the good will of, and the willingness to sacrifice by the American people. In the last analysis, | the success or failure of any plan such as here outlined rests with the people. We are dependent upon the cooperation of the trades. We have but one police | forcc-the American wOman-and we depend upon her to organize in cooper atiOn with our state and local food ad ministrators to see that these rules are Obeyed by that small minority who may fail. Part of the rules will be en- forced under the Lever food act; other parts are voluntary, and will depend for their success upon public senti- ment. Our experience hitherto has shown willingness of the vast major ity of consumers and full cooperation of the trades to undergo the self sacri- flee necessary to render such measures effective. The small minority who re- fuse to cooperate should not be allowed to defeat the nations necessities.
