THE Worlds Food Supply and World
Politics" In the address she brought

OF nations is in force. In other ways
the great nations of the world are
bound together through international
organizations Of trade, labor, and the
various professions. These must be
considered in the peace conference at
Paris. They are the points OF depart
ure from the known to the unknown

great extent We can no longer ig
more the plea OF Serbia and all other
countries TO have an unrestricted food
supply channel to the rest of the
world II viii probably mean tho In
ternationalizing OF supply routes for
food in many cases and surely must
be considered by the deliberators at
the peace table.
