BREAD NEEDED '.Allies Will Require 500,000,(100 Bushels of Wheat at Next Harvest. SAYS MR. HOOVER Cannot Preserve Public Tranquility W ithout Sufficient Bread. (United Press Service) ' (By Robert J. Bender. United Press I Stuff Correspondent) ; Washington. D. C.. June 2 - (Special to Daily Democrat) —Broad is the price of internal peace in Europe, j | And. "the size of the loaf will now depend absolutely on what can be done from the North American continent,” according to Herbert C. Hoover. America's new food administrator. 1 The allies, in order to provide the minimum bread ration, which they 1 are now giving their people, will require more than 500 million bushels of wheat at the next harvest. Hoover said today. ! With this appeal before them, the house and senate resumed debate on the Gore-Lever food bill, providing a , general food survey in the country and means of stimulating production. I j "With the lower classes in Europe, bread is the fetish of food." i Hoover warned. “And without the loaf—even assuming that you give them dietetic sufficiently of something—without the loaf you could not; preserve public tranquility. Bread is the price of peace.” In addition to the 500.000.000 bushels of wheat needed. Hoover has in(formed congress the allies will also Require “somewhere over 250.000.000 Ito 350.000.000 bushels of other ce- ' reals.” Therefore, we have a prob- . lem here of furnishing anywhere from 800.000.000 to 1.000.000.Q00 bush-j els of grain. Hoover said. The bulk of the bread burden is. now on the United States because ‘ the allies’ crops are short millions of bushels. In France alone. Hoover said, the wheat crop is down 55 per cent, creating a deficiency of 150,000,000 bushels. All former sources of cereals for the allies are now cut off. These were originally Russia. Roumania, Bulgaria. Australia. India and the Argentine. "The whole supplies of Russia. Bulgaria and Roumania are absolutely cut off,” Hoover continued. "Australia and India are. in effect, cut off today because the haul is three times the distance of the Atlantic seaboard, the tonnage required is trebled and .the danger just about doubled. The result is they have been unable during the last three months to get any consequential amount of grain from that quarter. "Whether that lane will be reopened is a matter of some difficulty. 1 Some measures are being retaken to reopen it and it may be hoped that during the next year some food supply may be obtained from Australia and India by the use of sailing ships and by transhipping at some pointlike Buenos Aires or Panama.” Hoover sounded the warning, however. that in supplying the “great vacuum” across the water, “public tranquility in this country must not be upset.' He said it is the business of this nation that the allies “shall not suck too much food out of our own country." In other words, he said, “if we allow the normal course of commerce to run loose, those people in clamorous desire for food will strip our home markets in this situation.” "Therefore,” Hoover said, "we have now to protect ourselves from our allies in order to protect our own people and at the same time do all justice by them and all the service for them that we can.” o — REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS.
