London, April 21.?The first and j * most inipoitant duty of the American people to their allies is to economize on foodstuffs. This is the appeal of fr. Herbert C. Hoover. "If we do it," y declared today to the Associated Press "we stand a grave chance of losing the war, because our allies cannot wilj need to give in. American can upset these calculations." Mr. Hoover's observations were; after three weeks' consulation with J members of the British, French and j d Italin cabinets. He also investigated j >f the food and shipping situation and J y pians for American cooperation. The n net result he arrived at was that be- ! )[ tween now and the next harvest it1 ;o would require a supreme effort by 5, t..e American people, r- j Of "Utmost Gravity"* 5 "I feel m>' duty to emphasize," y Mr. Hoover continued, "that the food yv f. situation is one of the utmost gravity, 11 ?v,.ic., unless it is sohed, may poss?' 01/ rebuit in the collapse of eier..- I o .ii.ng ye l.o.d dear in civilization.

"More than 70 per cent of American homes already are place of thrift,: econom.. and a clean plate. In tae ? | remaining 30 per cent, no can deny that is prolligate extravagance and ' waste.
