Judge Whittlesey Food Administra-j
tor for Seward, received the follow
ing important cable from Royal Gun-!
nison, Territorial Food Administrator,
with instructions that it be given the
widest kind of publicity:
“The following cablegram has been
| veeived by Food Administrator Hoov
' or from Lord Rhonnda, Food Con
troller of Great Britain—unless you
are able to send the Allies at least
! seventy-live million bushels of wheat
over and above what you have ex
po* ted up to January 1st, in addition
to the total exportable surplus from
Canada, l cannot take the responsi
bility of assuring the people that
there will be food enough to win the
I war. Imperative necessity compels
m* to cable you in this blunt way. No
one knows better than 1 that the
American people, regardless of na
tional and individual sacrifice, have
o far refused nothing that is needed
for the war. but it now lies with the
Americans to decide whether or not
rh» Allies ir. Europe shall have enough
bread to hold out until the United
i States is able to throw its force into
the field. I have not minced words
b«'cause 1 am convinced that the
American p*>ple, if they know the
truth, will not hesitate to meet tin*
‘mergency/
“United States Food Administrator
Hoover’s reply was as follows—We
will * xport every grain that the Amer
ican people save from their normal
* l consumption. We believe our people
j will not fail to meet the emergency.”
“Hoover points out further that we
must find fifteen million bushels for

total of one hundred million bushels 1

The Federal Food Administrator
for Alaska gave out the following
statement yesterday morning and it;
is directed particularly to the house
wives of Alaska: “The plain blunt
statement of Lord Khonnda, British
Food Controller, brings every woman
in every household to tin* turning of
the roadway of careless or thought
less obsei'vance or neglect of the Food|
administration's appeal to save wheat I
and other essential foods. It is the
way of least resistance. If we follow
that way we cannot win the war and
the nameless horrors and suffering of
women and children in Flanders,i
Northern France and Italy, Polandi
and Serbia will be repeated in Ameri
ca. Destruction wrought by Vesuvius'
and Mt. Phelee are a thousand times'
preferable to the tortures administer-1
ed in the name of Prussianism. This
seventy five million bushels of wheat!
must come from the kitchens of our‘
land, vour own kitchens.
“It will come only as you women
give to the problem of saving wheat,,
your thoughtful, earnest and patient
endeavor. You may be working in the
Ked Cross, have sent your husband,
son oi brother to the front and bought
Liberty Bonds with your savings.
Those are splendid, but you haven’t
done enough yet. This is the way of,
infinite care and painstaking; this is!
your own special personal problem.
If all your time is occupied with other
war activities, discontinue some now
and turn your thought to saving food
in the kitchen. If you are saving food
now save still more food. It does not
matter what your friends or your
neighbors do, you are responsible for
your own kitchen and food, you and
the family eat. Your other activities j
are useless and wasted if you don’t
save food. Do you care for those who
have gone out to light? Then don’t
sacrifice them to satisfy a family’s
palate or that you may have time for
something else. Today and until the
end of the war this is primarily im
portant work for us who stay at
home. It is your problem. Make it,
your, your individual work, whether
you work in your kitchen or some out'
works for you. Your great-grand
mothers sacrificed everything that our
country might he horn and Liberty
exist. You are called upon to give of
your time and you thought to this
problem. You are not asked to sacri
fice more. You have no hardships to
undergo and surely you can do this by
saving wheat. You are thus saving
the world and the world needs wheat]
and your efforts now as never before.”
