V you could stand in the middle of
Europe today and survey the land to
Us borders, you would discover Its
whole population of 400,000,000 human
beings short of food. Millions of peo
ple In Poland, Finland, Serbia, Ar
menia and Russia are dying of starva
tion and other millions are suffering
from too little food. Our Allies and
the neutrals are living on the barest
margins that will support life and
strength. -
This, the most appalling and dread
ful thing that has come to humanity
since the dawn of civilization, is to
me the outstanding creation of Ger
man militarism. The Germans them
selves are not the worst sufferers.
They are extorting at the cannon's
mouth the harvests and cattle of the
people they have ' overrun, leaving
them in desolation. If the war were
to cease tomorrow, the toll of actual
dead from starvation within the Ger
man lines would double or treble the
6,000,000 or 6,000,000 of men who have
been actually killed by Germany and
her allies in arms. The 10,000,000 peo
ple In occupied Bt'sium and Northern
France would have died of starvation
had it not been for us and the Allies.
We must build our food resources
to stand ready for any demands upon
us by the Allies. It is of no purpose
to us to send millions of our best to
France If we fail to maintain the
strength of their men, women and
children on our lines of communica
tion. This United States Is the last
reservoir "of men, the last reservoir of
ships, the last reservoir of munitions
and the last reservoir of fdod upon
which, the Allied world must depend
if Germany Is to be defeated and if
we are to be free rnei
