A t a conference of field men o f the United States food administration hold In Washington, P. C. Walcott pictured conditions as he had found them In the countries invaded by. German anna. Mr. Walcott served with Mr. Heaver on the Belgium relief commis- slou when this nation was attempt- teg to feed the starring civilian pop ulation of Belgium, Poland and north ern Prance. In hie address he had pictured inch conditions as Ip said he could not believe unless he had seen the situation through and through, and had lived with It for weeks. He showed these terrible conditions to be the result o f deliberate plane on the pert o f official Germany, and In sum ming up he said: “Such Is the German mind as It was disclosed to me In several weeks’ contact with officers of the staff.

This was accomplished la the face of a serious food shortage la this country, bespeaking the wholeheartednees and patriotism with which the American people have met the food crisis abroad. Pood Administrator Hoover, la a let ter to President Wilson, explains how the situation was met The voluntary conservation program fostered by the Pood Administration enabled the piling up of the millions of bushels of wheat daring 1917-18 and the shipment o f meat daring 1917-18 The total value of all food ship ments to Allied destinations amounted to *1,400.000,000, all this food being bought through or In collaboration with the Pood Administration. These figures are all based on official reports and represent food exports for the harvest year that dosed June 80, 1918. The ifclpments of meets and fats (Including meat products, dairy prod ucts, vegetable oils, eta.) to Allied des tinations were as fallow s: fiscal year 1918-17....2.196,800,000 lbs fiscal year 1917-18..<A011.100.000lbs.

And the only way by which this change can be effected Is th* de feat of German arms In this war. Nothing good, nothing bat tell, can come oat of Germany, an long os the German people are controlled by a military autocracy, sad th* German people cannot be made to r*#Use this until this autocracy Is crashed.

The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 191d-17 were: Wheat 185,100,000 bushels and rye 1300,000 bushels, a total o f 137,400.000 bushels. In addition soma 10,000,000 bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port fbr Allied destinations or on root# thereto. The total shipments to Allied countries from onr last harvest of wheat will bo therefore, about 141,000,- 000 bushels, or a total of 154,000,000 bashals of prim# breadstuff*, la ad dition to this we have shipped some 10.000. 000 bushels to neutrals depend ant upon us, sad we have received some imports from other quarters. “This accomplishment of our people la this matter stands out even more ‘claariy If wo boar In mind that Ae had avallabl* la th* fiscal year 1918-17 from net carry-over end as surplus over onr normal consumption about 200.000. 000 bushfils of wbeat which we were able to export that year without trenching on oar home lo o t" Mr. Hoover said. “This loot year, however, owing to the large failure o f the 1917 wheat crop, we bed available from net carry-over end production and Imports only Just about our normal consump tion.
