Conservation SUNDAY Message Of Food
Administrator Tells Great Need
Of World Reiirr,
IN APPEAL TO The CHURCHES

Upward OF 200 million people are
looking to this country in their misery
and famine for relief and the appeal
today of the Food administration is
larger than the former appeal TO the
war conscience" of the people OF
America. The new appeal is TO the
world conscience" which must be
the guiding inspiration OF the future
program tor food conservation. The
American people. in this most critical
period of their history. have the op-
portuniry to demonstrate not only
their ability to assist III establishing
peoce on earth, but also their conse.
Grafton, by self-denial, to the cause of
suffering humanity.
This. in brief, is the message Of
Herbert Hoover TO the people of this
country which was read in the
churches on conservation Sunday.
Last summer, when the military sit
uation was acute, the Inter.Allied food
conference was assured that what.
ever the war.food program of the
Allies required this country was pre-.
pared to meet, Mr.. Hoover said in his
message.
1.-THE ending of the war does MOI re.
lease us from this pledge. The same
population must be fed, and until an.
other season has passed they cannot
feed themselves" the message said.
THE change in the foreign situation
necessarily alters the details of our
food program, because the freeing of
the seas from the submarine menace
renders accessible the wheat supplies
of India, Australia and the Argentine.
The total food demand upon the
United States is not diminished. how.
ever. On the contrary, it is increased.
In addition to the supplying of those
to whom we are already pledged, we
now have the splendid opportunity
and obligation of meeting the needs
of those millions of people in the.
hitherto occupied territory who are
facing actual starvation. The people
of Belgium, Northern France. Serbia,
Roumania. Montenegro, Poland. Rus.
