British Food Officer Lauds
American Efforts in Con-
servation Campaign
England Is Surprised
Supply Received in Nature of
Windfall, Says Sir William
Goode

LONDON. Feb. 13-Just after New
Years United States Food Admins
traitor Herbert C.. Hoover cabled that
because of the American voluntary
1ood saving campaign he had $50 000,-
600 pounds of bacon and 25,00O,0O0
pounds of frozen meat more than
British officials in the United States
had estimated would be forthcoming
and later it developed that the frozen
meat surplus was still larger than this,
Sir William Goodc. liaison officer be-
tween the British and American food
administrations, told the London Ro-
tary Club to-day.
"Fcw people," said Sir William,
"havc yet grasped the fundamental
fact that Great Britain still relies on
the United States and Canada for 65
per cent of her essential foodstutfs.
Unless we can get this food, or nearly
all of it, we shall peter out. As to
how we get it, the popular idea seems
to be that the United States is an. up
to-date combination of miracle loaves

what | want you to realize is the
amazing way in which the energies
and sentiments of the American peo-
pie have been harnessed to a great
national movement of organized self
sacrifice, 81, that the Allies can have
ceeded to give d detailed account of
the steps taken by the United States
toward food production and conscrva-
ton.
"The cynic will tell YOU" he said,
that it is ridiculous to imagine the
American people, living in the midst of
plenty. will make sucn sacrifices as
these for the sake of their allies thou

relegate President Wilson and Her
bert c. Hoover to the category of we'll

tary measures can be tested by results.
Early last month we received from
Mr.. Hoover a cablegram saying he
had found that, as result of the
American conservation campaign, he
had 100000 900 pounds of bacon and
10000. 600 pounds of frozen meat more
than the British representatives in the |
United States had estimated as likely
to be available. His offer was so un-
y, POeeSU tHoI Nc IuU 70 nuStle TO get
the finance and shipping for this

Supply Grew Larger
Later on it turned out that the
amount OF frozen meat available was |
thousands of tons above the Hoover
estimate. Except for the hold-up of |
shipping in American ports. duo to con
sestion on the railways and billiards,
our bacon and meat shortage would |
long since have been cased by these
which represent only a
small percentage Of the total sacrifices
of the American people.
1T is lucky for US that a man like
Mr.. Hoover is at the helm Of the allied
food supply and, that behind him is a
