to clearly understand that with large

The part which conservation must
play in the food program is likewise
obvious. To provide by July 1, 1919.
the 20 million tons OF food for over

in American homes is essential. This
quantity of food is rs per cent more

World Relief
Present Task.

TTcSeHt ask.
The most important work of the
Food Administration now is that OF
world relief-that of establishing the
peace and security Of the world. 1t
is big job The war is over; we
have removed the restrictions upon
the individual use of food and have
left saving entirely 10 the individual
conscience. What the Food Admin
istration might demand as a service
to our nation in time OF war it must
now ask in the name OF humanity.
The bars are down, the rules are
off, we may buy and eat to the limit
OF our purses This is true, al
though this year we must ship abroad
10000, 900 tons OF food where last
year, with all our efforts. we shipped
only 11,S00.000 This ia the great
privilege and duty now open to the
American people.

four corners of the earth can again

submarines and mines no longer is

South African. or the Argentinian
supply OF food unavailable Taking
stock of the worlds need and the
entire worlds supply. we find that
there is in the world, If every one
Is economical, enough breadstuffs to
feed the world on bread
Why We
Must Do II.
In England. France and Italy there
are 126,000,000 people TO whom, in
the average, one-half of their food
stuffs must come from across the
water. Among our smaller Allies,
Belgium. Portugal, Greece. the new
nations we have created and Rou-
mania, there are 75,000,000, of which
II, ,000, 900, the urban population. will
starve this winter without our sup
plies of food. There are 41,000,000
in Sweden, Holland, Denmark, Switz-
erland, and Spain, Of which only the
Spanish have today as much as two
months supply of foodstuffs. There
are S3,000,000 Russians, of which 49,
600, 900 in the southern part have suf-
ficient food with a little reorganiZa-
tion of their transportation facilities.
There are 40,000,000 in Northern
Russia, of whom it is absolutely GER
tain that 100000 will starve. Then
there are 95,000.000 OF our enemy
people in Hungary, Austria, and Ger
many who, in many communities, are
at the point of absolute restitution.
The city of Hamburg, for instance,
has two weeks food supply; nothing
more in sight. Armed Hungarians
guard the line to shoot down any
person who attempts TO take a pound
of food into Austria. The Bavarian
Germans will not ship a pound to the
Prussians. 1t will probably not be
necessary for us to supply them with
food, as they have the money to buy
from the Argentine; but we must
supply their neighbors. That leaves
us, then, with situation in which
300 100000 have got to have found
for them 30,000,000 tons of food to
maintain their life, and of that
amount 20 per cent, or 10000, 900
tons, must come from us. Pretty big
contract to turn up at the end of the
year with 20,000,000 tons without the
aid of patriotism and the war spirit.
