Hoover Sees Big Problem fed of
Him; D. S. May Have to feed Huns
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. "The big
gest problem of the world today is the
problem of feeding it," Herbert Hoover
told a conference of senators. This
statement was made in explanation of
the general food situation, and the de
cision of Mr. Hoover to go abroad to
take command of the food distribution
in Europe.
Mr. Hoover told the senators that
there is no necessity for any extension
of the food control legislation. Under
the authority of the embargo act and
other measures, he said, he has ample
authority to do all that is needed to be
lone in this country.
He said his duties abroad would be
confined chiefly to the feeding of the
Belgians, Jugo-Slavs. Serbians and the
civil population in other countries of
Central Europe which were devastated
by the Germans. Although he made no
mention of the Germans in the present
plan for food distribution, he said that
upon his return from abroad it might
become necessary to ask congress to ex
purchase of food of money for thecr

IBv United Press k
COPENHAGEN. Nov. 20. The
Berlin
Yorwaerts has announced the
purchase of food fir the German popu
lation. This suggestion did not take very
well with the senators in the confer
ence. Several of them expressed strong
disapproval of any policy of extending
aid to the people of the. fallen German
empire. Others suggested that it was
an unfortunate time to propose such a
move, and that it might be strongly re
sented by the American people.
Mr. Hoover went on to explain, that
no plan for the feeding of the Germans
had been decided upon, but predicted
that a complete survey of the situation
abroad may make it incumbent upon
America to extend aid of some kind to
prevent the population of Germany
from starving. '
It was suggested that to carry out

Hoover said he had reached no conclu
sion on this point.
Although the conference was informal
it was executive and senators who at
tended were extremely reticent about
discussing Mr. Hoover's statement.
The conference was called hastily by
Senator Martin after Mr. Hoover had
reached the capitol, others present be
ing Senators Hoke Smith, Pomerene,
Pittman, Underwood, Kellog, Kenyon
and Swainson. Mr. 'Hoover was accom
panied by Mr. Glasscock, general coun
sel of the food administration.

! Bakers, restaurants and householders
need no longer purchase substitutes
with wheat flour, according to tele-
! Sophie ruling received by the federal
i food administration for Nevada from
! Washington.
I However, it is requested that all loyal
Nevadans assist in using up stocks of
substitute flours on hand and in stock
at their grocers. The rescinding of the
rule does not mean that there is an ex
cess of food in the world. On the
contrary, the shortage of food is ac
centuated by the armistice, which
throws upon America the added burden
of helping to feed millions more starv
ing people.
During the next month you are asked
to continue to buy Victory and substi
tute flours, and to use them at your
convenience in cooking.
No change has been made in the
amount of bread which may be served
in restaurantsMthe two ounces of wheat

Senator Will Support
Appeal's Suggestion
Editor Appeal Your suggestion that
a memorial shaft be erected in
the capitol grounds to the memory
of Nevada's sons "who did not re
turn" should be taken up immediately
and prosecuted to a successful conclu
sion. To erect a fitting memorial as a
tribute to their heroism and sacrifice is
the least that this state might do. The
state might make a liberal appropria
tion and the appropriation might he
supplemented by contributions from
school children, patriotic societies and
the public to the end that the monu
ment would typify the love and eneem
the people bear for Nevada's noble
s ns.
Whether of marble, granite or bronze,
the memorial would ever symbolize the
heartstrings that stretch from this
state to the final resting places of the
bovs who answered their country's call.
1 .f I hi mpmnrirt fit no truan nrr- i
f.. .t,... i, c .-..t,,,-,; i
they would have been leaders in siate !
affairs and the monuments they woubl
have raised in every walk of life would
have been greater and larger than any
that may be erected to their memory.
Let the memorial be an ever-present
reminder to the present and future
generations that no sacrifice they are
called upon to make can equal the su
preme sacrifice made by Nevada's sons
when the call came to remove forever
the despot's clutch.
It will be a pleasure to introduce a
bill to provide the memorial, but in the
meantime the love, respect and hope for
a safe return that was manifested by the
public throughout the state when the
I boys departed should be concentrated
in and dedicated to the work of provid
ing a lasting tribute to their memory.
Yours sincerely,
W. P. HARRINGTON.
