He r%edoubles his efforts as he sees

the alliance which has been so sue

European continent. But it is, as we
know, a symptom Of defeat of Ger

Statement by the Federal Food Ad.

"rhe extraordinary concession to
farmers that by signing q pledge they
may exchange wheat for a years sup
ply OF -four without at the same time
buying the substitutes" is based on
confidence, good faith and loyalty.
Our government has decreed that (un-
I'll otherwise ordered) there must be
no 100 per cent white -four bread
made or used for ordinary consump-
ton by anyone anywhere. All wheat
bread must contain 20 per cent Sub
stltutes." 80 emphatic is this decree
that any deviation will be looked up-
on as evidence Of an anti-American
disposition and downright ~disloyalty.

handkerchief might be passed over

No meat is served in an army
