Dear Mr. Hoover: You are, as un-
derstand it, the sole purchaser in this
country of food supplies for the allied
Governments. You must, therefore,
know the location of the food supplies
which you from time to time purchase
and the ports in this country to which
you desire such supplies shipped. If
you will notify me from time to time
of the location of the specific supplies
and the port or ports in the United
States to which you wish to have such
supplies transported, will guarantee
the necessary transportation, subject
alone to interruption from billiards
and foods. l wish to reassure the
country by saying that, so far as trans
portation is concerned, there is no dan
ger of suffering from serious food
shortage in the eastern part of the
country. Cordially, W. G. McAdoo."
