Jaueau, Alaska, January 26. —
T*>e Federal Food Administrator
for Alaska received the following
telegram this morning from the Un
ited States Food Administration:
United States Food Administration!
releases following cable from Lord
Rhouna, Food Controller, Great
Britain: "Unless you a're able to
sen J the Allies at least seventy-five
million bushels o* wheat over and
above what you have exported up
to January finst, and in a d-d i lion to
the total exiwrt&ble surplus from
Canada, I cannot take the responsi
bilifv of assuring people that there
will be food enough to win the war.
Imperative necessity compels me
to cable you in this blunt way. No
one knows better than I that the
American people, regardless of n^w
tioiuM and individual sacrifices, have
so far refused nothing that is
needed for the war but,it now lies
witn Americans to decide whether
or net the allies in Europe shall
have enough bread to hold out ui^
til the United States is able to
throw its force into the field. I
bay not minced words because I
am convinced that the American peo
i pie ir they know the truth will
net hesitate to meet the emer
gency." ,
United States Fewd Administrator
Hoover's reply was as follows:
*'\V' will export every grain that
"• American people save fiom their
normal consumption we believe our
petpie will not fail to meet the
emeig m-y." Hoover points out
further that we must find fifteen
inillicn additional bushels for Bel
gian relief and ten million bushels
foi Cuba and neutral countries mak
ing 'otal one hundred million bush
| els w heat.
The U.. S. harbor boat Peterson
arrived in Skagway this morning
about 11 o'clock and sailed for Ft.
Sew'ird at 2 o'clock. Fred Pedersen
was a passenger for Haines where
he v-'ill investigate the outlook for
