PROVED SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY Voluntary Basis of Food Saving Showed Heart of America Beat True for Freedom. v To the voluntary service and sacri fice of the American people must be attributed the continued health, strength and morale of the Allied ar mies and the civil populace. Upon this spirit of service and sac rifice will depend Europe's fate In the months to comei In the past year we have carried out an export program, the magnitude of which Is almost be yond comprehension. But with the new demands that have come, with the liberation of nations freed from German oppression, our exports must be almost doubled. Instead of 11,820, 000 tons, we must ship twenty million tons of food to Europe la the coming yeai" as much as can be pushed through our ports.' If the Allies had not been fed by America, It would have been impos sible for them to maintain their de fense against Germany. Meeting this world need on a purely voluntary basis,,, tle American people have, conclusively proved that democ racy Is a success ana that In time of need It will rise to US own defense. ; If there were-no other accomplish ment to Its credit the very fact that it has shown the strength of democracy has In Itself more than justified the existence of the Food Administration In the eyes of the world. Less than four months after the United States declared war the United States Food. Administrator expressed his determination to njeet America's food problem on a basis of voluntary action and,' reiterated his confidence that awakened democracy would prove Irresistible. ,. "Many,1' "thinking Americans," said Mr. Hoover, "and the whole world have been watching anxiously the last four months in. the "fear that demo cratic Ahjerlca could not' organize to1 meet autocratic Germany. Germany has been confident tliatit ,could not, be done. Contrary proof Is Immediately at our door, and our people have al ready demonstrated their ability to mobilize, organize, endure and prepare voluntarily and efficiently In many di rections and upon the mere word of Inspiration aside from the remarkable assemblage, of our Army and finances." The history of the Food Administra tion has clearly shown that the trust of those who put their faith In democ racy has not been misplaced.
