GETTING Down to Business

The most heartening aspect of the ad-
miniStration's food program, as outlined
by an array of speakers Sunday, is the
indication that serious job is to be
tackled in a serious way.
There has been too much of a tendency
In the past to soft-pedal the fact that this
program, If it is to succeed, will require
some sacrifice on the part of the American
people. When Senator Taft with char
acteristic bluntness called on the people to
eat less, the President countered with an
appeal, not to eat less, but merely to
waste less, as though Europe's need could
be met simply by cutting down on the
food that goes into garbage cans. And
Gael Sullivan, executive director of the
Democratic National Committee, who
seems to have positive genius for saying
the wrong thing at the wrong time, is
still casting around for some way of
making a political issue out of what should
be a strictly nonpolitical matter.
There was nothing POLITICAL however,
and nothing timid about the Presidents
statement Sunday night. He demanded"
that the grain exchanges increase their
margin requirements to at least 1913 per
cent to check speculation in foodstuffs by
gamblers. He called on farmers to cut
down on the use of grain for feed and he
asked the distillers to shut down for so
days. He announced a conservation pro-
gram, which he is putting into effect in
his own establishment, for the guidance of
American housewives and restaurants. 1t
Is worth repeating:
1-USe no meat on Tuesdays.
2-Use no poultry or eggs on Thursdays
3-Save slice of bread every day.
4-Public eating places will serve bread
and butter only on request. Qn other
words, please do not request it,
This program, with other steps to be
taken, can, if faithfully adhered to, make
available the additional 100 900 bushels
of grain which must be found if our friends
in Europe are to be kept going through
the winter. 1t is not great deal to ask
of the American people. AS Charles Luck
man, chairman of the Citizens Food Com
mittee, expressed it, 1--WE call upon every
citizen to observe Immediately two days
of self-denial for the duration of the
emergency" That is not much to ask in
any circumstances. 1t Is very little to ask
when, measured against the desperate
character of Europe's need and the i'm
portance to us Of seeing that the need
is met.
General Marshall, in his talk, stated the
matter aptly when he said "Our foreign
policy has entered the American home
and taken a seat at the family table"
That is a true statement. For once the
humblest citizen can do something specific
and tangible to assist in carrying out our
foreign policy All he has to do is eat
little less of certain foods, just put into
practice the program spelled out by the
President. ~
