FOOD CONTROL Purpose is to Organize I Food Resources of the i » Country. “T SO THAT THEY All) In Most Effective Way in the Conduct of the ; War. I ■ ■■ — I Indianapolis, Dec. 19 In order that the peo| le ol Indiana may understand mid realize the importance of food in the prosecution of the war. the In li- 1 ana State Council of Defense and the Indiana food administration ate giving i publicity to the following appeal just issued by the F'ood Controller of Canada: “Every Canadian owes it to the Empire, to Canada and to himself to understand the essential facts of the food situation. He should know what the problems are and what efforts are being made to solve them. Food control under present conditions, is an attempt to organize the food resources of this country so as to aid most effectively in the l conduct of the' war. And for the organization of such food resources public opinion mutt be educated first to the facts and then to a personal application of those facts ity the life of the individual. i “We have been told that the world food situation is grave and we dismiss the matter lightly. We have heard so much about suffering during the past three years that our sympathies are not so easily aroused to the point of sacrifice as they used to be. But do we realize that despite the best efforts that can be exerted by the people of Canada and the United States to conserve needed food supplies, many thousands of people must go hungry and that only what we are willing and able to save may keep, them from actual starvation? | "There is a great shortage of food in Europe and without importations' : from America Europe would soon be at the point of starvation. Speaking in the British Huose of Lords in July : of this year. Lord Rhondda, the Brit- : ish Food Controller, said: "Four-fifths ’ of our wheat supplies come from over-' seas; without their supplies we should starve.’' The nations of Western Europe allied against Germany du l -' ing the next twelve months will require no less than 577.000.0il0'bushels lof wheat, even with the exercise of most rigorous economy in its consumption. Canada and the United States have a wheat deficit of 400,000.000 bushels in the amount required from North America for the allies and for. European neutrals. “The responsibility of ensuring the food supply of Great Britain and‘our allies rests peculiarly upon Canada and the United States. Because of the' shortage of ships only a small part of the grain required can be carried from 1 Australia and other more distant countries. Three trips from Canadian' or American Atlantic ports can be made in the time required for one round trip between Liverpool and Aus-’ tralia. The shipping cannot be diverted if the,allies are to be fed. Here then is the situation: The people of North America must share their food supplies with the armies and the civilian population of the alites. More-' over .such supplies must be spared for export in the form which is most suitable for transportation across the ocean. The greatest need is for wheat beef and bacon. We must save these foods by substituting perishable pro-' ducts in season and other foods which are not required for export. “It is not enough to say that the ncr-j ' mal consumption in Canada of wheat 1 must be reduced by at least one-quart-er and that t.f beef and Lacon by one- 1 third. If you cannot tight you can at ■ least help to feed the fighting men.tj France has shed its life blood: will • you not eat cal meal or corn muffins ‘ one day in three or four instead cf ' wheat breakfast-food or white rolls.! 1 in order to feed France? Great Brit- 1 ain itV bearing the blunt of the battle , for the empire; will you not forego j pastry occasionally in order that the I people of Britain may not hunger? , Will you net eat substitutes for white j bread for the sake of the boys at the' ( front? Will you save one pound of i flour every week? That is the real J challenge of food control to you. member, if needed food supplies are < to Ire saved, every individual Canadian ' > must see to it that he. cats less bee'',!" bacon and wheat flour every day and 1 at every meal.” j a A LITTLE W ANT AD « NOW AND THEN, WILL ’ ALWAYS HELP THE f MOST PROSPEROUS OF » MEN. . u
