'Tragic Gap' In Food Supply, Need To Keep 40 Million People Alive
Chicago. (UP)—A "tragic" gap of 10,000 tons of breadstuff--needed keep 40 million people alive exists between the world's most currently available supply and its needs before fall harvest time, former President Herbert Hoover warned today.
In a report to the nation on his ground-the-world tour as President Truman's food ambassador, Hoover appealed to Americans to save every possible scrap of foodstuffs, to farm-to-bring all grain to market.
"If the present harvest prospects continue favorable, relief will come to the world within a few months," said Hoover. "By September, new supplies should be available, and the immediate crisis will ease."
But lest the distant prospect of relief curtail efforts to feed the hungry now, Hoover warned that he had "seen with my own eyes the trimmest spectre of famine in 'all he history of the world'" in his rip through 25 countries.
If relief were stopped, he empha-
ized, 300,000,000 persons would die
the slow death of starvation.
"If we can succeed in persuading
every man and woman, every na-
tion to do their utmost, we shall
naster, this famine," he said.
Hoover said that by substitutions, reshuffling, sacrifices in America and other surplus areas, the gap between minimum breadstuff needs and maximum supplies had been increased since March from 11,000,-1,000 tons to 3,600,000 tons.
"There are Americans who believe it right, and a duty, to feed women and children even of a surrendered enemy. No one is the enemy of children."
"There are others who believe that the only hope of a peaceful world is to save the enemy peoples from starvation and start build them into peaceful cooperative peoples. There are other ways of caring for the immense useful times the enemy has committed against all mankind, believe in 'an 'e' for an eye', and 'a tooth for a tooth'. To these, let me say that to esp 500,000 American boys in garments among starving women and children is unthinkable.
"It is impossible because, being mericans, they will share their in rations with hungry children; is impossible because of the danto American boys of sweeping ectious diseases, which rise from one."
Robert Frost won the Pulitzer prize three times.

Great Bend. (UP) — implement dealers of the state will meet here this evening to discuss a proposal that they lock their doors as a protest against what they termed a "squeeze play" in price controls.
Implement Dealers Fight Price Squeeze
A preliminary meeting was held Tuesday, with 40 implement dealers present, to discuss the situation under which they charged the OPA was forcing dealers to absorb price raises to manufacturers.
The statewide meeting, expected to attract 500 dealers, will be asked to agree that, the OPA rescinds the maximum price regulation covering that situation, that all dealers in Kansas lock their doors.
