liberated Nation;? in Ausliia; nor can
we Ignore the effcct on the future
world developments of the famine
conditions among those other people
whom we have recently released from
our enemies. A';l these conditions
mean that upwards of two hundred
million people In addition to those we
are already pledged to serve, are now
looking to us In their misery and
famine. Our appeal today is there
fore larger than the former appeal to
the "War Consciinscience" of our
people. The new appeal is to the
"World Conscience" which must bo
the eruiding inspiration of our future
program.
"The President of the United Stales
has asked me lo take charge for this
government of this work; to perfect
and enlarge tho arrangements for
foodstuffs to tho population of Bel
gium and Franc? now being released,
and to organize and determine the
need of provisions to the liberated
peoples of Fouthprn Europe to prevent
such debacle as has takn, place in
Russia."
The determining factor for the
success) of such an enlarged appeal
will be the vivid consciousness in ev
ery individual in each community of
obligation and opportunity. It is t'e
common recognition of obligation that
we now wish .to create. Such an in
telligent "World Conscience" in the
American people must be the main de
pendence of the stricken countries of
tho world until normal conditions arc
once more testored.
America, ly her participatirn in the
war, has accomplished her objectives
of self defense and of vindication the
effeciency of a government in which
the peopl", and the people only, are
sovereign. She has established the
foundation of government by the peo
ple throughout the enemy countries
and this thereal bulwark of world
peace. We have yet to build on these
foundations. No government nor na
tion can stand if its people are starv
ing. We must do our part if the world
be not consumed in a flame of an
archy.
The American people in this most
critical period of their history, have
tho opportunity to demonstrate not
only their ability to assist in establish
ing peace on earth, but also their con
secration by self-denial to the cause
of Buffering humanity.

CHILD THANKS MERCHANTS
To the Merchants of Hawaii:
Now thai tho backbone of the ten l
fic conflict has o"cn broken and Prus
sian autocracy shattered through tl e
signing of an armistice with Germany
and the abdication of the kaiser, many
of the restrictions imposed by the
Food Administration aro no longer
necessary and are now being modified
or recinded altogether.
That the conservation of food has
been a material factor in the winning
of the war, no one will deny. Hawaii
has made a remarkable showing in
the matter of food saving, and I take
this occasion to stale this is due
primarily to the wholehearted and
loyal co-operation of the merchants of
this territory.
It was you who bore the brunt of
the burden of enforcement In every
single conservation measure put over.
It was you who had to take Lite
slurs of ctilicism from the disloyal
and disgruntled ones.
It was you who almost without ex
ception loyally followed our instruc
tions and complied strictly with evdiy
change in the regulations. The re
markable few violations in this terri
tory has been oivj of the pleasing sur
prises of our work.
It was you who made the 50-50 rule
100 per cent efficient and enabled us
to send millions of pounds of flour to
the Allies fnd our fighters.
And so we wish to thank the mer
chants of this territory for the part
they have playe.l in this great work
of food conservation, to congratulate
and compliment them upon the loyal
attitude which they have at nil times
evinced, and to assure them '.hat they
can take pride i.i having done their
part in wini.ing the war.
The need of conservation, however,
is not at an end. Permanent peace
must first be established and millions
facing starvation in Europe, through
no fault of their own, must be cared
for during the coming winter. This
means a shifting of conservation to
lines whtrh have not heretofore been
considered necessary and a far great
er effort on the part of all for genuine
and thorough saving in all directions.
Sincerely yours,
J. F. CHILD,
Federal Food Administrator

baby as had never been seen before
One day the baby was being weighed
and Maggie asked what that was for.
"Oh," said her father, "Uncle George

war but to the promotion of a just and lasting peace." A message

most pronounced in favor of Germany. There was no other man whose
attitude was so friendly to Germany in the war. There is no evidence
Unit Hearst received any profit from the German government. After
we entered the war his attitude continued very questionable, many arti
cles published in his papers, if published after the passage of the Espion
age Act as amended, would have subjected him to prosecution. He
