Dr. Robertsoii bi'i:f'!_'; revioweti the

iooti situation throughout Europe anti .-\nivi'ica, and told what wits being .done in the why of increasing protlutc- tion and preventing waste. He had been travelling from coast to t-oatit tiuriiig the last three months antl he was pleased to say that he tliti not ini-_'nv :i single village where the peo- ple were not stimiiltatlng increased protiutztion. and when it was lioriie in iiiinil that about one half the footl

protiut~tion was provided hy these small ciiltivatoi-s ol’ the soil. they

»wotilti reatlily realize what a dliier-

cnce these village efforts would inake in t‘anada`s food supply. The speak- ci' recalletl the tact that there had iiocii about ;ltl.tl00,000 men taken away from production for the various ar- mies iii the war. aiitl instead of pro- t.lut~iin;; inany were engaged in ties- troyiiig i'o0ti supplies. The meiiace oi’ thc submarines was tlestroying lliousaiitls upon tliousands of tons. The iiiifavtiiiralile weittlier had rcs- trictotl protliiction. and altogether tim). had reason i`or tlianhtuliiess that the t`ood situation was not worse than it was, Hut conditions would becoinc mu:-.li worse unless they atloptetl meitsiires to prevent it. anti so the Go- verirment liutl appointed Mr. Hanna Food Utiiitroller. with aliiiost uiilinili- oti powtii's. But ont: food t'nii'troilei' was not enough. in this country they w:intt:d about 700.000 fond controllers, in other wortls. t>.vt-ryoiie ninst rio hir- lieat to stop the waste of food and to

sources. At. the outset G'.‘i'niany had eiitlcavotii‘etl to restrict tho use ot’

food hy legislation and dictatorship. but that hatl proved a lamvntahlo failure. aiitl they in Canatla. aa well as in England. had proilted h_v Ger- inanv`st failure. They noiv recogniz- etl that the only satisfactory' inetliod

by educating the people to practicing ecoiioiuy in their own homes. So tar as liotels, restatiraiits. etc.. were con- cerned the government could eiiftirce compulsory regulations and this had

beet and bacon.
