Our point of view has now been changed from q war
necessity to a humanitarian appeal, in all food conservation
efforts" said Federal Food Administrator E. F. Laid, when
asked regarding the future work Of the Food Administration
I'm a cable recently received from Mr.. Hoover by the Food
officials he stated that the pressing demand for food to keep
Europe from one of the worst famine disasters of history is
obvious but the definite program must await further conferences
abroad.
when the American people fully realize the predcament Of
millions Of people in Europe, when the picture is presented to
them in all it's startling reality, there will be a spontaneous and
instantaneous demand on the part of the American public for
their relief. Some agency must carry on that relief work. just
what will be done and how it will be done is yet to be worked
out but the work that is now placed before the Food Administra-
ton workers is to acquaint the public with the facts of Europes
needs and to prepare them for voluntary cooperation in saving
vast numbers from starvation, as distinguished from the enforced
regulations which were necessary as q war measure. but will no
longer bring about the desired ends,
