Important Message to People From Herbert C- Hoover, Administrator. WORLD SUPPLIES ESTIMATED Increased Production, Elimination of Waste and Cartful Control of Food Exports Form the Solution of This War Problem. Washlnfton. Aug. 20.?What the peo ple of the United States not only can but in UK t <lo In the uuilter of food pro* ductlon and use In order to help win the war Is set forth In detail In a statement issued today by Food Ad ministrator Herbert C. Hoover. If v? full to do our part In this res|>ect, he says, the iieople of the allies cannot be maintained at war, for their soldiers cannot tight without food. | The normal Imports of wheat and other cereals by France, Italy, the 'United Kingdom und Belgium, and the estimates of the 1917 crop In thtoe countries compared to the nortnul pro duction are given by Mr. Hoover in tabulated form, and the conclusion Is drawn that In ordir to provide normal 1 consumption It will be decessary for them to Import In the next 11 months 577,000,000 bushels of wheat and 074,000,000 bushels of other cere als. If the crops of the United States B and Canada all mature safely. North America will have un apparent sur plus of 208,000,000 bushels of wheat and 1)30,000,000 bushels of other cere als. The1 nlttes, therefore, must use other cereals than wheat for mixing In their war bread, and the people of America must reduce tlielr consump tion of wheat flour from Ave to four pounds per week per person. Decrease In Food Animals. A careful estimate of the world's food animal positlou shows, a total net decreuae of 115,003,000, and this will be greater as the war goes on. As the increase of herds and flocks takes years, we must reduce the'-consump tion. eliminate waste and carefully con trol meat exports. Our home dairy products supplies are decreasing, while our population Is Increasing, and we must ship In creasing amounts of such products to our allies. Consequently this Indus try must be stimulated, and home users must save the wastes In milk and butter. Much the same may be said In the rase of sugar. Mr. Hoover urges a greater con sumption of fish and sea foods, in which our coasts, and lakes are enor mously rich. The products of the land, he reminds us, are conserved by the eating of those of the sea. Our Duty. In conclusion the food administrator says: ? I have endeuvored to show In previ ous articles thi^ the world Is short of food; that Europe Is confronted with the grim specter of starvation unless from our abundance and our waste we keep the wolf from the door. Not only must we have a proper use of our food supply In order that we may furnish our allies with the sinews with which they may flglit our battles, hut It Is an act of humanity towards fellow men, women and children. By the diversion of millions of men from production to war, by the occu patlon of land by armies, by the Iso lation of markets, by belligerent lines, and by the destruction of shipping by submarlnes^not only has the home pro duction of our allies fallen by over 300.000.000 bushels of grain, hut they are thrown upon us for a mdch larger proportion of their normal Imports for I merly obtained from other markets. They have reduced consumption at every point., but men In the trenches, men In the shops, and the millions of women placed at physical labor, re quire more food than during proce tlmes.'and the Incidence of their saving and any shortage which they may suf fer, falls first upon women and chil dren. If this privation becomes too great, their peoples cannot he main tained constant in the war. and we will toe left alone to fight the battle of democracy with Oennany. The problem of food conservation Is one of ninny complexions. We cannot, and we do not wish, with our free In stitutions and our large resources of food, to Imitate Europe In Its policed rationing, but we must voluntarily And Intelligently assume the responsibility before us as one In which everyone has a direct and Inescapable Interest. We must Increase onr export of foods I to the allies, and In the circumstances of our shipping situation, these exports niliM fie of the most concentrated foods. These are wheat, flour, beef, pork and dairy products. We have oth er foo<is in great abundance which we can use Instead of these commodities, and we can prevent wastes In a thou sand directions. We must guard the draiaaiv of export* frou. iiw Uuhm state*. that we main a proper aupuli for'our own epptfcjr, anil *e mua adopt auih Wffa n u> will auicllo rate, to fur ns may be, the prjce condl Hon* of our lens fortunate. We tubch ao drain the frum tKf nauiiH j TO TmKipe" aa TiyYfie high prices tha would follow tw fori* our people t* aborteu their i-otimiupllon. Thla oper ation of "normal ecoauutk' forces' would starve that element of the corn luunity to whoiu we owe the luoat pro tectlon. We muat try to linpoae th? burden equally upon all. Action Muat Be Voluntary. There la no royal road to food con serration. We can only accomplish this liy the voluntary action of out whole people, each element In propor Hon to Its means It la ? mutter ol equality of burden; a mader of min ute saving and substltuti.n at every pMnt In the L>0.000,000 kltclena, on the 20,000,000. dinner tables i nd In the 2,000,000 manufacturing, wholeaale and retail establishment*" of the country. The tusk la thua In Ita essence t|ie dally Individual aervlce of all the'people. Kvery group can substitute and even the great majority of thrifty people can save a little?and the inorb luxuri ous elements of the population can by reduction to almple Hying save much. The Until result of substituting other products and saving one pound of wheat flour, two ounces of fats, seven ounces of sugar and aeven ounces of meat weekly, by each person, will, when we huve multiplied thla by one hundred million, have Increased our exports to the arriounts absolutely re quired by our allies, Thla means no more than thut we should eat plenty, but ent wisely and without wuste. Food conservation has other >?.pects of utmost importance. Wars must be paid for by savings. We must save In the consumption In commodities and the consumption of unproductive la bor In order that we may divert our manhood to the army and t!> (be shops. The whole of Europe has been en gaged ever since the war began In tha elimination of waste, tlie simplification of life, and the Increase of Ita Indus trial capacity. When the war Is over the consuming power of the world will be reduced by the loss of prosperity and man power, 41 nd we shall enter ? period of competition without parallel In ferocity. After the war, we must Maintain our foreign murkets If onr working people are to be employed. We shall be in no position to compete if we continue to live on the same basis of waste and extravagance on which we have lived hitherto. Simple, temperate, living Is a moral Issue of tha first ofNer at any time, and any other basis QJ conduct during the war be comes a wrong against the Interest of the country and the Interest of democracy. * The Impact of the food shortage of Europe has knocked at every door of the United States during the past three years. The prices of foodstuffs have nearly doubled, and the reverberations of Europe's Increasing shortage would have thundered twice as loudly dur ing the coming year even had we not entered the war. We are today In an era of high pricea. We must maintain prices at such s level a* will stimulate produc tion, for we are faced by a starving world and the value of a commodity to the linngry Is greater than Its price. As a result of the world shortage of supplies, our consumers have suffered from spwulatlon and extortion. While wages for some kinds of labor have Increased with the rise In food prices. In others, It has been difficult to main tain our high standard of nutrition. By the elimination of wnste In all classes, by the reduction In the coo sumption of foodstuffs by the more for tunate, we shall increase our supplies not only for export but for home; and by Increased supplies we can help In the amelioration, of prices. For Better Distribution. ' Beyond this the duty has been laid upon the food administration to co-op erate with the patriotic men In trades and commerce, that we may eliminate the evils which have grown Into our system of distribution, that the bur den may fall equitably upon all by res toration, so far as may be, of the nor mal course of trade. It Is the purpose of the food administration to use Its utmost power and the utmost ability that patriotism can assemble to ameli orate this situation to such a degree as may be possible. The food administration Is assem bling the best expert advice In the country on home economies, on food utilization, on trade practices and trade wastes, and on the conduct of public eating places, and we shall out line from time to time detailed sugges tions, which If honestly carried out by such Individuals In the country, we be lieve will effect the result which we must attain. We are asking every home, every public eating place-and many trades, to sign a pledge card to accept these directions, so far as !bWr c|rcunistfljl?fi&-P?imU. aud ???? organizing various Instrumentalities to ameliorate speculation. We nre ask ing the men of the country who ftre not actually "engaged In the handling of food to sign similar, pledges that they shall see to It, so far as they are a)>le, that these directions are followed. Improving One's Good Point*. The art of posing Hps In one's abil ity to acquire It without appealing af fected. To make those with whom one cornea In contact weary with un necessary affectation la of course a thine to be deplored. If the Individual, however, realties the Importance of helping nature's endowments, she will appear perfectly natural In alwaya striving to look her very beat.
