TROOPS GO TO HEMPSTEAD The Former 69th and Others in Rainbow Division Get to Camp W a shington, Aug. 20.—^Herbert H o o v er today w a rned A m erica th a t the world faces' a. m e a t famine. And a “high range of prices for m e a t and anim al products for -m any years to com e” confronts this country, he H e cited figures to prove th a t the nation’s cattle, sheep and hogrs are dwlindling rapidly under -the de m ands of w a r and in allied Europe threaten to wipe out entirely. Fabulously high prices in Europe and -America will extend to lard, bu t ter, cheese, leather, fats, oils and H e advocated governm e n t control cf this country’s m e a t exports. He called upon A m erica’s livestock breeders to a t once lay plans for enorm o u sly increased herds and fiocks. H e pleaded th a t all rich, w e ll-to-do m iddle class and other non-m a n u a l laborers in the U n ited S tates greatly reduce th e ir m e a t consum p tion and leave m o re for the fighting m e n and m ale and femade war workers of allied lands. He -cautioned the allies that \'large am o u n ts of m e a t from n o rthern n e u trals are ^being diverted to G erm any” and offered this as an added reason for regulation of A m erican exports. As a m e a t conservation m easure for America in this Crisis he sug gested that our comparatively little utilized fish supply be thoroughly I harvested, well m arketed and more generally eaten. Since the war began this country’s cattle production has increased 7,09fi,000, as com p ared w tih a d e crease elsew h ere in the world, in cluding enem y countries of 26,750,000,*^ a total world decrease of 28,0Sfi,000 Sheep production .decreased 3!,000,- OOO head, the eastern allies, 17,500,- 000, other countries 34,000,000; a to tal world decrease of 54,-500,000. W h ile this country’s production of hogs has increased 6j27o,000 head, th a t of our eastern allies decreased 7,100,000 head; th a t of o ther coun tries Sl,600,'000; a total world de crease of 32,425,WO. “W hile our hogs werg increased by 3,000,000 anim a ls ,” said Hoover, “the average w e ight a t slaughter is falling and our production is p rob ably only about m aintained. “The demands made by the war on America’s meat supply are shown in the growth o f , our meat exports from an average 'of 493,848,0'OO pounds a year for three years before war to 1,339.193,1000 pounds for the Single year ending June 30, 191G. “There is only one im m e d iate so lution to the short supply.

In the second place, I would not en ter in to any such m o v em ent. It is not necessary for me to even say th a t I w o u ld not. “ Organized labor has not m ade common cause w ith any enem ies of th e labor m o v em ent, n o r will it. It has m ade com m on cause with, our c o u n try and our dem o c racy and w ith the dem o c ratic aspirations of the working people of the world; and this cause has always been our— and ours first of all. “T h e ‘reactionary, m ilitaristic, and capitalist’ in terests have been com pelled to surrender more to the A m erican lab o r m o v em ent since A m e rica entered th e w a r th a n they had any expectation of surrendering. ' They are going to .surrender more— ' a n d , m o reover, we are going to keep, I delibera.tely. I see no point a t w h ich a f te r th e w a r, w h a t we gain d u ring the German K a is e r coul r find aiij- th e w a r. T h e re is no su rren d e r , no ' f a u lt w ith eith e r of these precious going hack— and the misleaders of ^ Potsdam’istic and Lenineistic organi- thig so-called W o rkm e n ’s Council | zations. And you m ay believe m e k n o w th is perfectly. I am not quite i when I say th a t th e A m erican labor sure w h e th e r they are conscious d e - • m o v e m e n t is n o t in ' a g reem e n t w ith ceivers or conscienceless deceivers. | the G e rm an K a is e r, n o r w ith the “ T h e(A m erican trad e union m o v e m e n t is' a m ilitan t m o v em ent. The foes of the labor am o n g the emp>loyers know this, even If gome of lab o r’s foes in th e so-called W o rkm e n ’s Council do not. W h e n it ceases to be m ilitan t it' w ill cease to exist. T h a t is fundam e n tal. “American organized labor is loyal to America, loyal to the core. It is loyal to dem o cracy, w ithin our n a tion as well as w ithout, and therje is in Am erica today no m o re p o tent forces • for democracy than the o r ganized labor movement. And we are going to do o u r best to' r o u t the enem ies of A m erica and dem o cracy, v.'hether they are w ithin o r w ithout. It is painful to have to say t h a t there 5re 80 many within, but it is the fact. “ T h is so'-called -W orkmen’s C o u n cil is * a n ti-A m e rk c n and pro- G e rm an, as is its paren t, th e so- pernicious propaganda of the L e - nines, and n e ith e r is it going to r e m a in inactive while influences of th a t kind seek to divide our nation and help destroy our liberties. We will fight such contem p tible, trea c h erous efforts— fight, fight, fight them to th e h itte r end. “Jou may say that the American labor movement is not represented by any one or any agency except i t self, an d th e claim s of alleged coun cils to represent labor are as pre posterous And ridiculous.and treach erous as' any other phase of their ac tivities.” ' T h e so-called P e o p le’s Council continues to send to th e new spapers daily statem e n ts as to th e things to be accomplished by the “Constituent A ssem b ly of tbo People’s Council a n d W o rkm e n ’s Council” in M inneapolis, beginning Sept. .1.
