Herbert C. Hoover, United States food adminis trator, returned today from his trip abroad. The food situation in the allied countries was described as encourag ing by Mr. Hoover. On the other hand, he said, a severe drouth in Roumania and Bulgaria gives indication that Germany will be disappointed in her expectations of grain importations. He declared there is little likelihood of any ex tensive shipments of Roumanian food in to the central empires, eitiier this year or next. The Belgian food situation is much improved, the administrator said, and although the people are ,-fiot on full rations, the outlook is brfght. Asserting that "we have to make good" a pledge to this effect which he had given to the allied food ad ministrators while sitting "at a com mon table in a common cause," Mr. Hoover said that, to do so, America will next vear have to supply the al lies 4.000,000,000 pounds of v fats, 900. 000.000 pounds of beef proditrts, 500,- 000. 000 bushels of cereals, and 1,500, 000 tons of sugar. However, Mr. Hoover added, beginning September 1, there will be no need for drastic food rationing in the allied countries except in the case of sugar and beef.
