100000 TONS Of
FOOD FOR EUROPE
That Amount Must Be Imported
by War Stricken Countries up
to August, 1919-35,OOO 900
Tons Available
STATEMENT BY HOOVER
American Surplus Has Proved to BE
the Salvation OF EurOpe-SuppIy Of
FOOdstufs In Sufficient but Shipping
Conditions Are Unsatisfactory.

Paris, April Elm the harvest year
from August 1918, to August 1919, Europe
must import 29,000000 tons of foodstuffs
from overseas and to meet this there is
available a total of about IS, 100000 TONS
Herbert c. Hoover, permanent chairman
of the food section of the supreme
economic council. said to-day in review
ing the present world food situation. The
available supply is sufficient to meet the
needs of Europe. but shipping conditions
are not satisfactory on account Of strikes
in many countries and, as a result there
Is no question that the entire American
surplus will be absorbed,
In fact Mr.. Hoover said, the American
surplus had proved to be the salvation
of Europe.
I'VE are now at the worst phase Of the
European famine that was inevitable
after this world war;" Mr.. Hoover
added. with some 100000 men in
Europe out of production and turned to
work of destruction. there could be no
other ending. We have opened up all
that enormous food vacuum which was
created by German domination and
which, with the close of the war was
added to the great demands on the allies.
We have had time to investigate and
determine fairly closely what is needed,
not to restore the normal. but to keep
the body and soul together until next
summers harvest"
The economic food council is now on
top in the fight against famine and food
distribution is fully organized in supply
ing the most affected areas in Europe
outside of Russia. The American relief
administration has organized as a free
lrrtf IL
nourished children, numbering between
900 and 100000. Various organiZa-
tions Of the American government are
| cooperating to meet the situation and
the work is proceeding smoothly.
The United States MIR. Hoover con-
tinued. will supply Europe during the
year ending next August foodstuffs
valued roughly at s25OO.OOO,OOO. Enemy
countries and neutrals will pay cash for
what they receive. while the allied coun-
tries are being aided by funds ap-
propriated by Congress. Mr.. Hoover said
he would estimate that the United States
would be placing in Europe about $1,000,
600 900.
The food relief authorities are doing
their best to control the effect of the
large demands on the American market.
In connection with this, Mr. Hoover men,
| toned that statement of his on the
possible price of wheat had been mis-
interpreted in some quarters. In his
earlier statement Mr.. Hoover had said
that in view of the demands of the world
for fod the removal of price control with
regard to wheat, sugar and pork
products and cottonseed products would
be extremely dangerous to the American
consumer. The control of the pork was
removed and Mr. Hoover said has proved
to be a disadvantage to the consumer.
