The benefits of our food-saving
campaign that was vital factor in
the winning of the war were not all to
these we fed. We have at home new
appreciation OF food that win prevent
it ever being wasted again by those

food occupies in our new, worldwide
human relations.

American foresters present ves5
strong argument against our friend,

destructive of animals, wild or tams,
Of the birds. and every forester con

Great Fat Shortage.

The most distinct reversal of policy
will come with pork and dairy prod
nets, vegetable oils, sugar and coffee.
Utmost economy will be required in
the use of fats and oils, in which there
is world shortage Of about 5000, OO0,-
600 pounds. There are sufficient sup
plies for us to return to our normal
sugar consumption If other nations
continue their present short rations,
or even IL their rations are slightly in
creased. If the European countries,
however, are to resume their normal
sugar consumption it will be through
our continued conservation in order
to share with them. There is sur
plus Of coffee.
OF the world total required to pro-
duce these results North America will
furnish more than 60 per cent. The
United States, including the West In
dies, will be in position to furnish
q total Of about 2O,000,O0O tons
against our pre-war exports of about
5000, 900 tons.
The bread grains situation allows
the world to abandon the use Of sub
stitutes In wheat bread. Large sup
plies have accumulated in the Argen-
tine, Australia and other hitherto In
accessible markets. A continued high
milling percentage, economy Of con-
sumption and elimination OF waste
make 1t possible for the world to re-
turn to white wheat loaf.
OF all our export possibilities In
fats, the largest and most important
item is pork. While we cannot supply
the world deficiency, we will be able
to help it enormously because of the
past policies, Of stimulating production
and restraining consumption. The
governments policy with regard to
stimulating the production Of wheat
and Of pork, the readiest source Of:
fats, is thus amply Justified by the sit
uation upon the return Of peace.
Famine specter Still Stalks.
The people Of the United States
must continue care and wise economy
in the use Of food in order to complete
the work of liberating the world. But
even with the utmost conservation and
production in this country there will
be in Europe for the next year or more
starvation beyond all human power to
allay. In North Russia there are 49,
OOO,O people to whom food cannot
be made, accessible this winter. Their
transportation is demoralized in COM
plete anarchy. And even II internal
transport can be assured their ports of
entry would soon be frozen. Millions
more who have felt keenly the oppres-
sion OF war will be beyond reach Of as
sistance.
We must realize that upon our
shoulders rests greater Responsible
u than we have ever before been
asked to assume. We must realize that
millions Of lives depend absolutely
upon the continued service and sacri-
nee OF the American people.
We must realize that the specter of
& famine abroad now haunts the album
dance Of our table at home.

with the return of peace America IL
confronted by food problem even
harder Of solution than that with
which we COPIED in time Of war. We
have an entirely new world situation
in food 1t will mean essential changes
in our domestic program. But more
important than this. It must Of neces-
sity require increased export.
Last year we shipped II, $4,000 tons
OF foodstuffs to t.te European Allies.
Had the war continued we would have
increased this enormous figure to IT.
$4,000 tons In the present year. Now,
with the responsibility Of feeding mil
ions OF people liberated from the Ger
man yoke, our exports must be brought
up to ut least 2O,OOO,OOO tons-prac-
tically the limit Of loading capacity at
our ports.
World Food Demand increased.
The end Of the war will create an
enormously increased demand for food.
Humanity demands that the starving
millions freed from Prussian oppres-
sion shall have sufficient supplies to
assure their return, to health and pros
perity. If these liberated nations are
faced with starvation they cannot es-
tablish orderly governments. Hunger
breeds anarchy In people. The war
to free the world for democracy will
be lost after it has been won. Amer
lea must continue its work to liberia
ton and by sharing It's food make de-
mocracy safe in the world.
In order to meet this new situation
the Food Administration has made
careful survey of the food resources Of
the whole world In relation to the to-
tai demands. Computing supplies on
the basis of the avoidance of waste
and war consumption, it is found that
wheat and rye may be obtained In SUI
hcient quantities to meet economical
world consumption high protein feed
for dairy animals will show shortage
of about 100000 tons, while there
will be sufficient supplies Of other
feeds to allow economical consump-
ton; beans, peas and rice will also be
found in sufficient quantities to main
tain economy in consumption !; there
are sufficient supplies Of beef to keep
pace with the capacity Of refrigerating

America A World Power.

Our nation has been directed by
men chosen OF God. From the days
OF the Puritan fathers We have been
taught to fear CD. and take orr own
part. We have stood with the people
who were right and parted with the
people who were wrong. We have
endeavored to carry our the fund

Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg.
From that day we have resolved that
our deeds shall not die in vain, and
that the government OF the people
ty the people, and for the people
shall not perish from the face of the
earth
Humanity sweeps ol,wari and the

, it is easier to be heros than to be
tortured slaves. The closing scenes of
the world conflict brings to our mind

Was the Mayhower launched by

their time?
Turn those tracks toward Past or
Future, that make Plymouth Rock
sublime?
The reformation of England began
with the people and ended with the
spread of Christian civilization. The
German reformation began with the
professors, philosophers and military
leaders, and ended with the crash OF
the military powers of princes. There
is only one power that can arrest the
descent of nation and save it, and
that is Christian religion.
Democracy is but a side issue. The
underlying issue Of democracy is the
religion Of Christ and Him crucihed

source and resource of all that is
worth having in that world that is
