THE WORLD
By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.
Conservation of food must be ad- ,
Jgsted to meet necessities from time to
time, for neither production, nor al-',
3ed demands are constant factors, nor
mat any of these factors be anticipated
flur long periods in advance In the dls-j
tarbed conditions In which we at pres-'
mat live. While the world situatTon Is
ant one that warrants any relaxation-
the efforts to eliminate waste or to
arlax economy In food, the Adminis
tration desires to secure better adjust
ment In food balances. i
So long as the present conditions ,
wctlnue the only special restrictions
we ask are the bcefiess and porklesa
Tuesday. ' f .
The meatless meal and the norklcss
Sutunlay are no longer asked.
The farmers of the United States
are responding to the national call to
ihcrcase hog production. Their in
cis, to all appearances. Is being at
Jafned more rapidly. Of more imme
diate Importance, however, are several
ooaplex factors which have effected
ata Immediate Increase In meat sup
ples. ;
The transportation shortage before
tM government took over the rall
aK the bad weather in January and
ewsiy Jn February, the large percent-
03- o( Immature corn in. the lust har
xest and the necessity of feeding this
ora as rupldly as possible to save It
iroui decay, have not only resulted In
lacking up the animals particularly .
logs on the farms for a longer pe
riod of feeding, but have resulted In a
Civa.1 Increase In their uverage weight
aniUivlll result, with Improved trans
Hjrtiitlon conditions, which already ap
fyaa. 1b larger than normal arrivals at
mnrRet for the next two or three
mop ilis. The weight of hogs coming
tn the market for the past two weeks
Sidlcates an Increase in we'lght of
from an nvnrage of 203 pounds last
jtflr to the almost unprecedented
Average of t$2 pounds, or u net In
crease in their meat value of over 15
per cent. This Is a distinct addition
tr tTip nntlon's meat supply. It there
'ire now seems certain that we have
stirh enlarged supplies for at least
same nionths to come, that we can not
only increase our exports to the allies
to the full extent of their trnnsporta
Mod facilities, hut at the same time
properly Increase our domestic
consumption. I
The response of the public to pur re
quests for reduced consumption of
jit-at during- the past few months has
Seen most gratifying, and this pervlco
alone hns enabled the government dur
ing tills period to provide such sup
ptj'esr as transportation to the allies
permitted. I
The Administration also suggests
that In those parts of the country ,
Tifiore the old fashioned home preser
Tstion of pork Is still tho custom, this
BracUce should be extended at tho .
present time, as It will relieve the bur-
den upon transportation to and from
the pocking houses and Is economical
Wsound as saving the cost of packing
ulcerations' and at the same time will
pjiortilo home supplies of pork to last
oven the months of decreased supplies.
X&r. Food Administration desires to
repeat that It does not want to give
tho fmpMsslon that these are times
. irlten simplicity and moderation of Uv
inis. are pot critically necessary, but
that Its solo desire Is to secure an ad
justment between our different food
supplies and meet changing conditions
from time to time and to keep the pub
' 11c fully and frankly, advised of Its
monition with the full confidence and
wllance that whenever It becomes nec
tssitry renewed appeals for saving will
met tlio same loyal response as In the
pas'.
FHE hopo of tho world is not alone
,that tho armies of humanity will
bo victorious, but that the spirit and
purposo of our warfaro will provail in
our victory. Tho hopo of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur
pose that must, through the force of
our arms, triumph. Just to tho de
gree that wo can ovidonco this Rod
Cross spirit of morcy and brother
hood wo will hold truo in the dan
gerous hour of victory to tho ideals
that have forced us into tho tronches
in the defense of human rights and
human liberty.
The ono sano and saving thought
in this delirium of death that now
possesses tho world is tho Red Cross.
Wherever tho storms of battle
hell rage, amid the fires bfruthloss
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying tho
flag of the highest conceivable ideals
of humanity. The ideals for which
our armies have taken the Geld aro,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
to friend and foe, in that unmistaka
ble language of universal mercy and
brotherhood. In .the terms of wasted
towns rebuilt, of broken humanity
salvaged, of dying children rescued,
of desolate families succored, tjie Red
Cross declares the causo for which we
war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the
guns, the roar of exploding mines,.
tho crash of fallen oitios and tho cries
of tortured humanity, tho voico of
the Rod Cross carrioa oloar and strong
the one mossago of hope to our war
burdoned world.
Tho black horror of this world's
crisis would bo unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work of this
mighty force. The normal mind re
fusos to contemplato the situation
without tliis saving power.
It is' tho knowlodgo that in ovory
city, town and hamlot, men, women
and children aro unitod in this work
of declaring to tho world, through
tho Rod Cross, our mossago of morcy
and brothorhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under tho burden
of woo and sustains our faith in hu
man kind. It is tho constant daily,
almost hourly touch with tho Rod
Cross work that is folt by every citi
zen in tho land, that inspires us with
courago and hopo. ,
Out of this holl of slaughtor tho
Red Cross will guido tho warring na
tions" to a heaven of world-wide pencp
and brothorhood.
Because it is the living expression
of those ideals and principles in de
fense of which we aro giving our all
in lives and material wealth because
on every field of death it is proclaim
ing its message of life becauso it
keeps ever before us and tho world
tho cause for which we war becauso
it will preserve us in tho hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves tho
Red Cross is tho hope of the. world.
