Atlanta, Ga., Jan.—The confer
ence of the federal food admlnlatra-
tors of the several states just held in
Washington, reviewing the work ac
complished by food control during the
past year and laying plans for a deli'
nita program in 1918 has revealed the
enormity of the world food supply
situation jn more glaring light
The responsibility of the United
States, in behalf of her own and the
armies of her associates in the world
war; of her own people'at home and
the people of others who necessarily
have.become largely dependent upon
this country are so gigantic they all
but stagger comprehension.
The United States today ia not
alone the storehouse for a very large
part of the world, but Uncle Sam has,
perforce become the quartermaster
for a world of inceasing hunger
abroad. That quartermaster ia hand
ling his game squarely and facing his
burden with a set determination.
Americans are his supporters and
their duty—more than a patriotic one
in behalf of a safe democracy and a
decent living condition on the face of
the earth, has become a common one
of self with, us ail. Never in another
situation has there been so much foun
dation for truth in the statement that
“in unity there is strength.”
An adequate summary of the lood
situation, from the mass of informa
tion brought back to Georgia by Dr.
Andrew M. Soule, Federal Food Ad
ministrntor for this state, and Major
D. F. McClatchoy, executive secre
tary of the Georgia administration,
is this: “The American people can
not expect more than their share of
the food supply which for 1918 does
not measure up to the expectations/
Therefore, three prime factors enter
f,or consideration and conclusion
Supply, demand and equitable distri
bution.
The day has como when every
American citizen—man, woman and
child-sBiust -become a part of the
great .working machine in operation
under the shadow of the great Eagle’s
wings. These'things must be learn
ed by heart, and every beat of that
heart must bo wth an objective pur
pose to accomplish. This country
has got to make o frontal attack on
the world food situation.
The United States Food Adminis
tration to further unify the ereat
American home force, has complet
ed a plan for taking the American
public even deeper into its confidence
and in a very short timo Herbert
Hoover will begin the publication,
through his office, of a weekly bul
letin, for circulation among the states
giving in exact detail the demands
upon the storehouse of this country
the extent to which those demands
have been met, what must be accom
plished in the immediately ensuing
period from the stores of* supplies of
the United States, the particular ar
ticles of food upon which there is the
greatest demand a present and what
substitutes may be utilized in order
to meet that demand. In short, the
bulletin will be a weekly letter to the
people from the food administration.
The situation, as it is realized and
fully appreciated at this time, is not
how much surplus the people of this
.country may'be able to accumulate
over and above the things they want
to eat in their own homes, and that
that surplus may be contributed
the sustenance of the man-power of
our associates on tho battle lines,
substantially the converse is the pro
gram, and necessarily so. Napoleon's
'army depended no more upon its
stomach than do the armies of to
day, and it is up to this country to
furnish the fuel which will generate
the blood to keep standing the bone
-and maintain the strength of the sin
ew of those people who are to win the
War
There has been placed in Herbert
C. Hoover, the United States Food
Administrator, the power of attorney
'in the purchase and placing of all
food supplies of all those people as
sociated on one eide in the war,- and
to properly exercise that authority,
be has made particular study of the
man power of that great associated
fighting machine. To sustain that
man power it will icquirc the most
liberal part of the'food supplies of
the United States. The country will
be called upon to meet those de
mands and to itself virtually live from
the surplus'over those requirements.
The exports to the battle fronts will
bem ade up and transported, and con
ditions at home—the tables of those
of us who are not in the smell and
scortch of the powder, and who hear
only the echo of the big guns—will
be adjusted lets to luxurious fesstal
burden and more to economical judg
ment, we will be taught to make the
meal fit the larder. ' _
As an illustration, it is going to re
quire a minimum of 30 per cent of
the milling enterprises to meet 'the
flour demands of the armies. When
a mill therefore rolls 100 barrels of
flour, 31) et those barrels will be set
out for use by the world’s greatest
army storehouse in the United States
and the 70 barrels will be passed in
to the market for home consumption.
We will have to adjust ourselves to
the 70 barrels.
These hings are not going to bo !
accomplished without some of those'
comparatively isolated cases of at-1
tempted hoarding and to meet such j
situations the Unied States Food Ad -j
ministraion has charged he adminis-1
tration in every state with the partis-1
ular duty of “getting the hoarders.”,
To that end the food control act and
regulations are made to cover from j
the raw product down to the individ
ual, home pantry. It is so from ne
cessity, and will be bo administered.
It regulates the licensee, the whole
sale dealer and the retailer who con
ducts a business of $100,000 a year,
these by direct regulations. It cov
ers the small retailer in two ways,
through his channel of supply and in
kind as it covers the ndivldual through
the law against hoarding. They are
all reasonable and for that most sel
fish act in comfiion life, hoarding to
satisfy a selfish greed, either of the
pocketbook or the individual stom
ach, the remedy is within the pre
scribed law. There ia a severe pun
ishment, a fine of $5,000 or punish
ment by imprisonment for not more
than two years—the trial court may
apply both in one case, within its dis
cretion.
A case to which these must be ap
plied though, would be that of a dis
loyal un-American individual. The
most democratic ^government in the j
world presupposes the human family
always to be honest and upstanding,
until a member of it, by his action,
proves to tho contrary for himself.
