Lock the =FoodKouSe Door!

the measure of relief which America can
furnish.
Supplies for the American people can
not be protected nor can fair distribution
Of the surplus be assured if the bars are
to be let down and Americas food stocks
auctioned off to the highest bidder. Ser
bia and Rumania, Poland and Armenia
could not compete in the bidding against
Germany, which has an abundance of gold.
Belgium would continue to hunger if ma
tions which have suffered less were per-
mitted to buy without hindrance.
THE only lock on the foodhouse door
today is the law under which the
United States Food Administration
was created. That law expires the day
the President proclaims that peace has
been restored. Unless Congress, by new
legislation, provides a lock to take its
place, Americas food stores will be at the
mercy of 4 world made rapacious by four
years Of underfeeding.
If the American market Is opened to
competitive buying and there is no restrie-
ton on exports, America will be drained
Of foodstuffs; prices will go up and up un-
til there is want in American homes and
ruin to American industry; social and in
dustrial unrest will spread, and bolshevism,
which has found such fertile soil among
the hungry people of Europe, may take
root in the republic.
TT IS not contended that the food
administration as at present organized
and as at present funetioning should
be continued. Its innumerable restrictions
on the normal flow of business and its in
reference with the eating habits of the
people are contrary to the American spirit
and would have been insufferable except
that they were made necessary by the

they will remember the liberty bonds
and the possibilities Of saving for all

Nowhere has this lesson Of saving
been illustrated better than in the
bank deposits Of this city. It would be
an injustice to accredit the great in
crease in deposits Of District of CO.
lumbia banks to the saving habit, but
thrift has contributed its share.

highest point August 81, 1918, when

This great asset needs continued

and larger, as this cultivation is
wisely conducted.

Another potential factor Of this
great asset Is that 1t has developed
in millions OF people a sense of re-

have been able to borrow in the ag
gregate, on their signatures, with
liberty bonds hypothecated as Sc
curity. millions of dollars at very
low rate Of interest.
It has taught these people that re-
sponsibility and a carrying out OF an
, agreement establish credit, and that
credit is a very essential proposition.
They have become investors. and
through the credit extended on their
initial loans they know that they now
have the wherewithal for further
credit.
They have become. in their own
minds, substantial citizens, and have
conveyed this Impression to others, SO
that today the credit potentiality of
the nation Is perhaps Is to 80 per cent
larger than before the war. They may
not use this credit. but they have
learned the lesson and know its value
and will use it when occasion sug-

~ VERY day which has passed since
hostilities were suspended has
made it more plain that the
IL physical, s6cial and economic re-
construction of the world must
be based on and will continue to center
around the question of food-its sufi-
cheney and its cheapness.
Any reconstruction program which failed
to place food at its very forefront would
be childish and futile thing. This is as
true of America, which has surplus of
foodstuffs, as it is of any of the famishing
nations of Europe. There is not today, and
there will not be for an indeterminate
number of years, sufficient stock of food
in the world so that all peoples may be
fully fed.
THE eyes of the hungry everywhere are
turned toward America, some hope
fully and trustingly. others enviously
and in greed. For, aside from Americas
stores and Americas ability to reproduce
those stores, there is not anywhere any
hope that starvation may be averted.
America should and will share her
1000 with the hungry IN otueI lduooS Uut
America must not permit that her food
house shall be robbed. And it will be
robbed unless a lock is placed upon the
door and strong guard is set upon it
THIS is not se1fshness; it is necessity.
It springs, in fact, from two necessi-
ties. The government can have no
higher duty than to protect the American
people from the peril of famine. And when
this has been done there will remain the
high duty of seeing to it that Americas
surplus foodstuffs shall go first to those
who are deserving and most in need; that
there shall be an equitable distribution of

emergency Of war. There Is need tor
further conservation of foodstuffs, both for
economic and for aftruistic reasons, but It
should and will be a voluntary conserva1
tion, made practicable by the habits OF
food-thrift which the American people
have learned.
But Congress is called upon to provide
a continuance of food control which will
do two things. One is to empower the
government to prevent resumption OF
gambling in foodstuffs. The other is to
provide for governmental control over food
exports. $50
~ UTLAWING of food gambling should
be permanent. Demonstration that
the people can be protected by law
from the food spectators is one OF the
beneficial by-products of the war, for the
abandonment of which there is not likely
to arise any public demand. AS part of
this program there should be prevented q
return to that cumberson and unseienti6e
system of distribution which resulted in
the taking of unnecessary and unearned
profits. +' - - J.
Control over food exports should con-
tinue so long as the world food shortage
continues. There are varying opinions Is
to how long this will be, but all authori-
ties agree that it will require several years
to restore wasted fields and replenish de-
pleted stocks and herds, and build up re-
serves.
y
THE subject is one which should receive
immediate attention at the hands of
Congress, so that American producers
and world consumers may know what to
expect when the present food control lapses
with the proclamation of peace. To
neglect it is to invite disaster.

Appeal to Allied Governments

'7. Therefore, the Interparty League
for the Rebirth Of Free Russia deems
it absolutely essential at this time to
send greetings to the new govern
ment and to appeal to the government
Of the United States Of America and
to all the allied governments to recog-
nize this new government, the only
truly representative Russian govern
ment, and to enter into negotiations
with it. It Is hoped that the question
Of q general peace will be entered into
in close relations with the new Rus
sian government and that no peace
will be signed that will be detrimental
to Russia,s best interests"
Similar resolutions were. passed by
all the Russian socialist Organisations
in Chicago. The dnal paragraph read
as follows:

The Interparty League for the Re-

new government just organized in
Russia. and being in sympathy with
the reconstruction work 1t has out
lined. wishes to express it's feelings
toward that government as follows:
81. In consideration of the fact that
the national conference was repre-
sented by as many elements in Rus
sia as was possible under existing
conditions;
''2. In consideration of the fact that
the national conference stood for a
united Russia:
"3. In consideration OF the fact that
the conference Internationally de-
nounced the Brest-Litovsk treaty and
concluded that the only way to re-
move that stain from Russia was to
bring Russia into the ranks Of the
allies:
~. In consideration of tho fact that
the new government aims to free the
Russian people from the rule of the
bolsheviki. who have usurped the SOW
ereign power in spite of the rank and
file. and who have practically de-
stroyed all semblance of the freedom
won in the March revolution:
5. In consideration of the fact that
the national conference recognized as
the only supreme power of the peo-
to be called as soon as circumstances
will permit;

the national conference has taken all
steps possible under the circumstances
to defend the rights of the Russian
