WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. The na tion's obligation to serve stricken hu manity in war-torn Kuropo by help ing to provide sustenance until the noxt harvest will demand further sacrifices of the American ' people Food Administrator Hoover declarl today in an address at a conference luro of state fbod administrators. Conditions of famine exist In Eur ope, Mr. Hoover said, that will be "beyond our powers to remedy" even with tho carrying out of tho plan to ship from America twenty million tons of foodstuffs during the noxt year. In northern Russia alone, he declared, (hero are forty million peo ple who havo but little chance of ob taining food this winter. Millions of others turnout Kurope, ho said, who can be reached must be fed.

"Vetcan contemplato at the most, maintaining fully three pounds per month of sugar per person of house hold sugar on the present outlook, and wo can by tho availability of Java sugars to Europe begin at once to relax nioro restraints on sugar pending some than go In Kuropo pol icies. Must Mvo Simply "These aro special features of" changes In policy, but tho shifting of conservation from one commodity to another is not the wholo policy, i Thero is one policy which cannot' change, and that Is the vital necessity to simple living, to economlzo in all consumption for commodities more or less substitute for each other. We must realize that the spectre of fam ine abroad now haunts the abundance of our table at home. "Tho war has been brought to an end, in no small measure, by starva tion Itself, and it cannot be our busi ness to maintain starvation after peace." North America, Mr. Hoover said, will have to furnish CO per cent of tho world't; supply of foodstuffs and the United States and the West In dies will be able to export 20,0U0,000 tons as against a pre-war normal of 0. noo, 000 tons. Mr. Hoover told the stale adminis trators that the food administration will be discontinued under tho law when peace is proclaimed, and added: "I do not expect to see Us renew al." "I look now," ho said, "for a turn of American food trades towards co:i rorvative and safe business.'
