The gigantic task before the Food Administration jiikl the American pci> pit- In the matter of saving foodstuffs was explained by Stain Food Adminis trator Henry A, Page today u|«in hi* return from Washington wh« re he, ■with Kxecutlve Secretary John Paul l«u> as, attended H conference of all Food \dministrators with Mr Hoover find his staff. The purpose of this conference was to discuss In detail and i terrrilne upon details of polliy dur pig lhe present fiscal year What the Food Administration an I the American people are up against Diay readily be seen from the stale no nt that the Food Admin Ist rat ion lias promised to send to the Allies during the present lis. a! year'l.l mil lion tons of foodstuffs as again.,! the le million ions saved and shipped l . them by the most strenuous effort during the last fiscal year; and In ad dition to this increase of £>o j»pr cent In exports, to lay up a reserve of wheat and other foodstuffs as Insnr mice against a short crop next year which, without such Insurance, might we|| prove disastrous for the Allied a use. Must Strip to the Bone. "Tills whole nation must strip to the bone If our tirilUes are to he given a l.i'r chance to win tills war next >-.ir." declared Mr Page "The view j*, frankly expressed in Government circles at Washington that our failure to win the war In I!»P,i will coal the lives of a million addition American • Idlers. "The whole thing resolves Itself Into the question. 'Are the Amor|e'an people at home going to make saeri lot's to muke prohahle the winning of I the war next year, or shall our armies j sacrifice a million red blooded Anieri'l «■» m boys because they do not get the] l>a king at home which tlicv must bave from this v ry minu; if i!hv in i- lo win. • "The food products are pretty well balanced "We tire not going to have iuiv spectacular drives on meat sav | Inn, wheat .saving or fat saving, hut we must have a terrific drive on (lie raving on all foods!tills We must tr tually get down to bed rock and live by this Inotlo: "Hiiy Less, "Eat Less, "Waste Nothing" Willie the producers must add to that tuotlo the further Injunction: "Produce More " Must Taste of Sacrifice.

Non Essentials Must Go. "Not only in foodstuffs must the j /'iierican people economize; w must | e onomize in labor particularly and In other things that are large factors In I the war situation. It is expected that w will have between two and tWreo millions additional men In France j "early next summer, with a million,or more under arms In camps in this j country At the same time we must j very greatly Increase the number of workmen in shipyards, munition plants und other war industries. All of this means that there is to be an unprece dented drain upon the labor of the k country. Non-essential industries must go. Women must take the place ef men in some industries that are es eeptial. In France 95 per cont of agri cultural work is being done by women and children and the other 5 per cent by old men and wounded men. We •hall not approach any such condition as this, but patriotic women must volunteer for such positions as they can fill and men Just be relieved wherever possible for the harder nian oel labor required In agriculture and the easentlal industries. "The "Wrirk or Fight' order of Gen eral Crowder applied to the new draft Is going to work v onders but in this country we must depend upon the vol untary. patriotic effort and co-opera tion by every individual man. woman and child.
