The article lauds voluntary food saving in the United States as a humane, effective policy. It credits steady bread prices, curbed speculation, and domestic calm to abstinence from wheat and shared effort. It frames American restraint as humane leadership helping global hunger relief and kinship through food aid.
The piece argues the United States must export at least 20 million tons of food to Europe and liberated nations to sustain democracy. It notes bread and wheat supplies, upcoming shortages in pork dairy oils and beef, and the need to curb domestic consumption to avert famine and preserve civilization.
Government actions to stimulate hog production aim to sevenfold prewar pork export levels. Increased output backed by the Department of Agriculture and Food Administration seeks to meet global fat shortages as beef supplies lag due to limited freezer ship capacity. Reports to January 1 show cattle up 10,288,000 and hogs up 12,441,000 with sheep down 810,000, while hogs may rise 8–15 percent with heavier weights.
America proclaimed it would do what is needed for the Interalised food council and the food army pressed forward. Farm output and pork supply rose as conservation improved exports, with total shipments doubling.
A 1917 quotation from Herbert Hoover expresses belief in the average American businessman to restore economic distribution and manage supplies after war. He emphasizes trust in business intelligence to remedy wartime evils.
