HOOVER "No matter how low prices may go nor how high they may reach, the real problem is, 'Can we produce enough tor ourselves and enough more to make up the deficiency of our allies? 'We can if we so desire. Autocracy believes that we cannot do it; believes (hat as a member of a democracy we are too selfishly Individualistic to de sire il, too weak to accomplish it even if we did wish it. It admits our fight ing ability but derides our power of self control and self-sacrifice. Apart then from our ohpgation to the Allies it is Incumbent on America to prove that democracy needs no tyrant's rod to govern its ways or its appetites. We have already undertaken broad measures to increase our production of food, and our intelligence, our sense of value of the object to be accom plished will inspire us to decrease our consumption. We shall be saving for victory. "The question is, 'Can a democracy organize itself on the basis of individ ual seli-control and self-denial? Can America actually do on the basis of willing co-operation what in other countries is always done under the rig'd rule of autocracy?"

TIIE EMU AKGO ON NEUTRAL TRADE W ashington The I'litish embargo mi exports of supplies to neutrals of northern Europe was declared after every phase of its effect had been discussed at conferences held with repre'sentatives of the European Allies and American statesmen. The .step taken by Great Britain indicates an Allied-American decission that neutrals must cut off exports of every kind to Germany. It is expected that within a short time every neutral will declare a flat embargo against shipments to the Central Powers, and that Germany will be demoralized as a result of it. Neutrals cannot exist, it is claimed, without British and American commerce. i he urgent deficiency bill approved by the Senate carries $7,700. 000.000 cash and authorizes contracting further for $2,000,000,000. to ue used almost entirely tor war purposes, including the destroyer pro gram.
