There is no question but that the
motto we took at the inception OF the
ROOD Administration. Food Will Win
the War;" did not overshoot the
mark. The news that comes out OF
Europe. now that the war IL won and
the bars OF censorship are down. dem
onstrates most forcibly that the war
was saved for the Allies in the spring
OF 1918 solely by the food supplies
shipped to sustain the morale Of the
British and French. who would perhaps
have answered the German terms OF
peace as early as the month Of June.
1t has been further emphasized by
the news that now comes OF the rea-
sons of Germanys radical and sudden
breakdown. Germany and Austria
went through August this year on
very short rations. They had three
consecutive meatless weeks. The en-
tire rations of the German people
were five caligrams of bread and ten
OF potatoes per week, with half Of that
for children. They bore 1t because
in August there was still lingering a
feeling OF the Importance of news from
the front. But when In September the
fact bore In upon their consciousness
that no matter how long they might
struggle and however they might go
through the winter without food, heat.
and with paper clothing, eventually
they had got to lose. they quit.
No nation will starve without a mo-
tive. Germany quit because the Ger
man people would not stand the food
rations without the hope of victory,
just as the French and British were
ready to give up the sponge In the
spring for the same reason. So we
may fairly say that we did not over
state the mission of food In this war.
We have done. what we were created
to do: to feed the Allies during the
war.
How IL
Was Done.
The Food Administration created
and shipped to Europe in the last year
141.000.000 bushels Of wheat where
there were only 120.000.0O0 to ship
We raised the export of beef from
10000, 900 pounds to 95.000,000 and
00.000,000 of pork In single month.
Condensed milk we raised from 1000.
900 pounds a year to 100000. The
export In other foodstuffs has in
creased in like degree, even beyond
the dreams Of Mr.. Hoover when he
started You people In the states,
with the uncomfortable Mr.. Hoover
at the top. have done this.
The work of the Washington or.
ganization has been to maintain
price levels In this country which
would prevent dissatisfaction among
our people. We know that war
means high prices. and we also know
that high prices are the gravest
causes OF discomfort. Three sets of
figures which came to my notice last
week will give you an idea of what
Is being done. Last spring when
the Wholesale price OF sugar was
$3.50 per hundred, the average price
among the Allies was $3.50. The
difference in that wholesale price,
applied to the American sugar con-
sumption OF last year. is $429. zoo. 900.

In suggesting a universal Christmas
dinner menu II Is realized by the Food
Administration that a shortage or over
supply of poultry, game or vegetables
In certain localities would materially
change the menu. Use OF local prod
ucts IL advocated so as to- lessen the
tax on rail transportation.
Advices received by the Food Admin
istration from all parts OF the United
states indicate that the turkey supply
for Christmas will be good This also
applies to chickens. ducks and geese.

World Relief
Present Task.

The most important work OF the
Food Administration now Is that OF
world relief-that Of establishing the
peace and security of the world. IL
10 a big Job. The war II over: we
have removed the restrictions upon
the individual use of food and have
left saving entirely to the individual
conscience. What the Food Admin
istration might demand as q service
to our nation In time Of war II must
now ask In the name of humanity.
The bars are down, the rules are
on. we may buy and eat to the limit
or our purses. This 10 true. al
though this year we must ship abroad
20.000.000 tons OF food where last
year, with all our efforts, we shipped
only 11,S00,0 900. This IL the great
privilege and duty now open to the
American people.
Transportation Is restored. The
four corners OF the earth can again
be reached for the bringing Of food
stuffs. No longer are we afraid Of
submarines and mines; no longer 10
the Australian or the Indian. or the
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. II 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.OO0.O00 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 100000, OF which
100000, the urban population, will
starve this winter without our sup
plies of food. There are 1900, 900
In Sweden, Holland, Denmark, Switx-
erland, and Spain. OF which only the
Spanish have today as much az two
months supply Of foodstuffs. There,
are 83.000,000 Russians, OF which A.
100000 In the southern part have suf-
ficient food with a little reorganiza- I
ton of their transportation facilities. .
There are 100000 in Northern
Russia, of whom It is absolutely GER
tain that 100000 will starve. Then
there are 100000 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 pound
of food into Austria. The Bavarian
Germans will not ship a pound to the
Prussians. It 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. 900, 900 have got to have found
for them 100000 tons Of food to
their life. and OF that.
amount 70 per cent. or 10000. 1000
tons, must come from us. Pretty big
contract to turn up at the end Of the
year with 10000. 900 tons without thel
aid OF patriotism and the war spirit.

Chief Declares.

The Pacific coast is a fine country

The chief returned Saturday night
from a trip to the coast after alleged
auto thieves which resulted success

.aThe main trouble out there is
Strikes said Chief OVERLY. The 1.
w. W. bunch seem to be in full con-
troll of the labor situation. They are
being paid good age but they are
out on a strike at the slightest provo
cation. or no pr~ovocation at all. and
the result is that there is considerable
want.
''There are $4,000 idle men in Sc
attic right now, and the water front
looks like an I. w. w. convention.
Unless a NAL belongs to the l. W
, W. he can't get a job. n if he does
belong the chances are that he will
be called out on strike within a few
! days. so either a he is up gains,
it. Most Of the men who go on strike
don't want to strike, and ont know
what they are striking for, but cam
help themselves.
Its a wonderful country, but the

ing their best to spoil it, and it looks
as though they might succeed"

GERMANY SEES
NEW HOPE IN US.
TREATY REFUSAL
Foreign Office Believes Situa-
ton Would Alter Her
Obligations
By Associated Press.

Berlin, Nov. 29.-The German
government will be confronted by an
altered situation in respect to its
obligations under the Versailles
Peace Treaty in the event the United
States fails to ratify it, in an opin-
ion at the foreign office.
1t was declared that absence of
active American participation under
the treaty in the adjustment OF nu-
merous postwar issues would con-
stitute a condition which Germany
had not contemplated when she af-
fixed her signature to the treaty.
Concerning the extradition of Ger
man officers and officials for trial,
it was said that the German cabinet
is unanimous that If extradition ac-
tually is insisted upon it will pro-
duce an internal reaction which the
government will be in duty bound
at all hazards TO prevent.
