) Food has now taken a "dominant po
sition in the warK and' we must ask
the : American people to sacrifice far
more than, was at first thought neces
sary. We have exported the whole of
the surplus of the Wheat from this
harvest after reserving to ourselves an
amount sufficient for our normal con
sumption ; of A seed and flour, until the
next harvest, and therefore the amount
of wheat, flour that the United ; States
can contribute to mix with the war
bread of our Allies during this winter
will be simply the amount; that our j
people reduce their consumption
month by month. . In other words, ev
ery grain of wheat or its products that
the Allies, receive from the- United
States jrom now until the next harvest
will be exactly the amount which our
people bave saved each mpnth on their
behalf. ..Vv r,-v: "' 'X-';; ;"'
The Allies today ask for '25 per cent
more meat and fats (pork, dairy prod
