ASKED TO DOUBLE MEAT EXPORTS AND SEND OVER A LOT MORE WHEAT HOOVER PLEADS FOR SAViNG Enforced Conservation in Cafes and Extension of Anti-Hoarding Rules No Rationing. Washington, Jan. 11. Enforced food conservation In restaurants and extension of anti-hoarding regula tions to make them apply to the household are included in the plans of the food administration for cre ating a larger export surplus of food for the allies. This was revealed tonight in a statement by Food Administrator Hoover, setting forth that the allies are in need of an additional 75,000,- 000 to 90,000,000 bushels of wheat, and that they have asked America to double meat exports. Only fur ther saving, Mr. Hoover declared, can be productive of the desired end. There Is no need for rationing in America in Mr. Hoover's opinion, and with the supplementary regula tions there will be no shortages. Must Save More. "It is true that the allies need from 75.000,000 to 90.000.000 bush els of American wheat," says the statement. "It is also true we have already exported the theoretical sur plus of last harvest over our normal consumption. The American people have saved a considerable amount estimated from 25,000,000 to 50.000, 000 bushels during the past five nonths and we are exporting this saving. "We cannot and will not export more than our savings, for our own people must also be fed. The al have reduced the bread ration to their people sharply the- last few days and if this lowered ration is to be maintained, we must save mor than hitherto. "Every grain of wheat and over: ounce of. flour and Lread saved nov Is exactly that amount supplied t ome man, woman or child from the allies. Will Soon Announce Progress. "We are asking the American peo pie to further reduce -their con sumption of wheat products and ust other foodstuffs instead, for the al lies must also have some whdht a well as ourselves. It is one of th vital issues in winning the war that we must maintain the health and strength and morale of their men, women and children over this win ter. "Our forty-eight state food admin istrators have been in session in Washington the last few days de vising with us a further program of saving which we will announce in a few days, in which we count with confidence on public support. "The allies are also asking us if we can double our meat and pork production exports, as they must in England, France and Italy further reduce their meat and fat ration xin less we can increase exports. We have replied that we will ask our people to save more, for we can only export our savings. Thwi Cetfd he jjo fear that our and if, as a result of misapprehen n a a a qua 3 sion, anyone should attempt, the pur chase of foodstuffs for hoarding it will be robbing the allies of Just that amount and is a violation of the food law that will be followed up sharply. We have ruled that the holding of more than thirty days' supply by dealers, manufacturers, wholesalers and- retailors constitutes hoarding and the purchase of more than usual amounts by consumers will likewise be so construed. No Need for Rationing. "We are going to ask millions of devoted women who support the food administration to see that our new proposals are carried out on ; every side. In this we are taking a line unique among nations and with the confidence that in them we have a power for enforcement and j through our press of the creation of' public opinion greater than among i any people on earth. "Legislation is being considered by Mr. Lever and Senator Pomerene for presentation to -congress for some further extension of the presi dent's powers to enforce conserva-. tion in manufacturing trades and in; public eating places.
