Food Administrator Tells Senate
Victory Was Threatened, But
Won't Blame Navy.

Because of the increasing rate OF
submarine sinkings in April, 1911,
''the war was at a debatable end'
Herbert Hoover today told the Sen
ate committee investigating the
charges by Admiral Sims that de
lay in the Navy Department nearly
lost us the war"
"The breadstuff supply was most
critical" Hoover said. "The reserve
stocks probably did not exceed three
weeks supply. The situation IN
France and Italy was probably more
acute than in England, and was
causing much anxiety.
German Victory Near.
AT the rate of sinkings at that
time. the war was at a debatable
end" Hoover stated.
.HThen IL that food supply had beoh
cut off. 1t would have meant thH

course, the war would nave enneu

Hale then asked If it would not
have helped If every effort had oeen
bent on getting the food safely over,
YES" Hoover replied, but | do not
mean to infer that everything was not
done in that direction. My depart

its power.

edge OF that stage both in April III :.

Save Money on Meat Week" is
interesting folly The farmer pro-
duces the beef. You can easily
discourage him and make him pro-
duce les.
Theyo is little enough in it for
him now. Instead of selecting one
week to eat half as much meat,
why not select several weeks to
do twice as much thinking? 1t
should not be impossible for the
semi-intelligent human beings to
prevent extortion or waste through
dishonest or inefficient distribu-
ton.
The people might also have one
or two thinking weeks devoted to
gasoline. Certain localities an
nounce another increase in the
cost of that fluid-about the tenth
raise in a short time.
The prediction is made that next
year the price will be forty to fifty
cents a gallon.
The oil lies there, under the
ground, and spouts out of its own
accord. The people own millions
of public acres containing it. And
God Almighty supplies the oil free
as He always has done, no extra
charge on account of the war.
Only little thinking and united
action are needed. But those are
rare ingredients in America.

However much it may have smaf-

economists are now pretty well agreed
that this country must have adequate
protective tariff and that it should
have this protection. Tariff is an eco

political one. Nevertheless it is to

ests of the United States to protect
themselves against the influx OF
cheaply produced foreign goods.

just at present, prices quoted on
American wheat are below those pre-

exults in this situation. II is. the New
Freedom contends. the one fallacy Of
the protective tariff idea.
But the New Freedom overlooks the
obvious when it ignores the fact that
foreign organization and foreign sup

effectively used for this very purpose
One need not look for further con.
firmation than the fact that when the
bottom was reached, foreign orders
for American wheat began pouring in

A Country Aroused.

No one thing is exciting more IN
terest in the United States today than
the farming problem and its present
angle, the disposition of farm crops
at prices which will not mean for
farmers financial losses beyond their
ability to stand. 1t is no longer a
question of profit for farmers. it is
simply a matter of how light the fin
ancial losses they must bear can be
made
Never in the history of the United
States have more voluminous crops
been produced than those yielded by
the fertile soils of every section of
this country in 1920. Never have
those crops cost more to produce.
Never have farmers been called upon
to take such heavy losses as they face
this year.
