The World Food Problem By Herbert Hoover (WNU Feature—Through special arrangement with Collier’a Weekly) There are more Horsemen that follow modern war than at the time the Apocalypse was written. In modern total war, Famine and Pesti lence are accompanied by four new recruits—whose names are Revolu tion, Unemployment, Suspicion and Hate. These additional destroyers make the job harder to manage. That there is and will be famine in this world of today, needs little demonstration. Already 148,000,000 people in the occupied democracies in Europe and Asia are short of food; millions of them are actually starv ing, and our Allies are obviously run ning on very short rations. The Nazis’ food supply is sufficient for their evils of today. They are working hordes of prisoners on the farms and robbing some of the oc cupied territories. But their inter nal production will grow worse as the war goes on and there is less to steal from the subjected peoples. In fact, the whole of Europe will continue to degenerate in domestic food supply. The reasons for that are simple enough: Europe in peacetime—and by Europe I mean Britain and all of Europe excluding Russia—has to import large amounts of food for human beings. That is now cut off by the blockade, except to Britain, and some small amounts to the neutral countries. Decline in Field Crops. On top of this, under the pressure of total war, field crops decline year by year. Manpower and horsepow er are increasingly drained to the war; farm implements cannot be re placed; fertilizers are diverted to explosives; planting is less effective, and harvesting less perfect. Also, the animals in Europe are in con siderable degree dependent upon im ported feed. In consequence of the blockade, some part of the dairy and breeding herds must be slaughtered early in total war, and domestic feed for the remaining animals decreases because more fields must be turned to direct food for humans—and still more of the flocks and herds must be slaughtered. In the last war, the principal food animals of Europe—cattle, hogs and sheep—decreased by over 70,000,000 head, and that is again taking place. The invaluable chicken vanishes, and fishing is greatly diminished. Thus the stream of animal products steadily decreases. To all this must be added the ravages of armies and scorched-earth policies. Nor will famine this time be lim ited to Europe, for these causes are also working in Asia and Russia. It is difficult for Americans to picture widespread hunger or star vation. We have not had such a thing in America. What Starvation Means. Nation-wide hunger and starvation mean grim suffering, incalculable grief over wilting children, physical degeneration, stunted growth, dis torted, embittered minds and death. Its lasting effect is one of degree and time. Adults can recuperate from months of undernourishment. Children can stand less. In fact, the undersized, rickets, aj^d the death rate among children are the sensi tive barometers of starvation. Not even during our Civil war was there a town or city where these effects reached one-tenth of what they are in certain cities of the occupied democracies at this moment. From all food shortages comes the danger of pestilence. People do not often die directly from starvation. Their resistance is weakened and they fall easy prey to contagions. Moreover, people consume their available fat supplies and have lit tle or none left for soap. Uncleanli ness invites such scourges as typhus —which is transmitted by body lice. There is another vital peril in this question. Unless these masses of people in scores of nations can have food and be protected from pesti lence, there can be no social or political or spiritual stability upon which peace can be built. We had a parallel experience with this problem after the First World war. In that famine, America bore the major load of supplies, finance and administration. Except for American food preparedness there would then have been the greatest sacrifice of human life in all history. That America succeeded in its task is evidenced by grateful statements of every government in Europe. No nation had ever undertaken such a mission before. We had to pioneer through the thickets and swamps of governmental, social, financial and economic problems, in cluding human nature in the raw. From that experience, we can make some estimate as to the need next time, the source of supplies, and the strategy and tactics necessary to de feat both famine and pestilence and to set millions upon the road back to strength and health. HOVStUOlV mtmos WMmrnxm »*«/ Fish Fulfills Protein Needs of the System Fish fillets served with juicy lemon wedges and generous garnishes of radish roses and parsley make an attractive main dish. Fish Is Flavorful One very direct and effective way of meeting the meat shortage is by serving fish in its This Week's Menu •Baked Whitefish, Creole Parsleyed Potatoes Broccoli Watercress and Endive Salad Oatmeal Bread Butter Broiled Grapefruit Beverage •Recipe Given many delectable ways. Few fami lies have been initiated into the many ways cf preparation for fish, few know how succulent are their steaks when baked, or how tart and crisp are fillets when fried. Bones have been removed from many types of fish so this need con cern the cook little. If they have not already been removed, this can be done easily since they are usu ally together. French Fried Fish Fillets. Desired number and kind of fish fillets 1 egg, well beaten with 1 table spoon water Crumbs, corn meal, flour or po tato meal Salt and pepper Salad oil for frying Wash fillets in cold water, drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; dip first in dry coating—(crumbs or other if pre ferred), then in egg mixture and tgain in dry coating. Place in deep salad oil—(375 to 385 degrees)—or hot enough to brown a 1-inch cube of bread in 40 to 50 seconds. Fish is good when baked—espe cially with tomatoes and green pep per: •Baked Whitefish, Creole. (Serves 5 to 6) 2V4 pounds whitefish, cleaned and boned Salt and pepper 3 tablespoons batter 1 small onion, chopped M cap green pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon flour caps tomato soup Vi teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Place fish in greased baking dish, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brush with one ta blespoon of the melted butter. Bake in a moderately hot oven (400 de grees) for 15 minutes. Melt 2 ta blespoons of butter in saucepan and add chopped onion and green pep per. Simmer five minutes. Add flour and blend thoroughly. Then add tomato soup, salt and Worces tershire sauce. Cook until mixture thickens, then pour it over the par tially baked whitefish. Return to oven for 20 minutes more or until fish flakes easily. Halibut is another good, substan tial dish. Mild in flavor, it needs a tart sauce to pick up its delicate flavors: Lynn Says: juice Halibut Steaks. Have center cut slices of halibui steak cut one inch thick, salt and pepper them and dredge lightly with flour. Fry to a light brown in but ter. Remove to a platter and covei with sliced sauteed mushrooms, us ing about a pound for 2 steaks. Over this pour the following sauce: Stew 1 No. 2 can of tomatoes with 1 cup of chopped celery, V4 chopped green pepper and 1 large chopped onion. When vege tables are tender, run all through a coarse sieve. Into this melt V* pound of grated cheese, I tablespoon of butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat fish thoroughly in oven and just before serving sprinkle with cheese and run under flame to brown. There’s distinction in salmon when it’s combined with discreet season ing—lemon juice and tomato: Baked Salmon Slices. Salmon cat in individual servings 2 tablespoons oil 2 tablespoons lemon 1 teaspoon salt Dash pepper 1 onion 1 tomato Baeon strips Brush slices of fish on both sides with the oil. Place in a baking dish, sprinkle with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Then lay a thin slice of onion on each piece. Cover onion with a Vi-inch slice of tomato and top with a strip of bacon cut in two. Place in moderate oven (350 degrees) for 45 minutes. Salmon Fondne. (Serves 6) 5 slices bread 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons butter 1 cup flaked, cooked salmon 3 eggs, separated Vi teaspoon salt Vi cup grated American cheese Trim crusts from bread and cut into %-inch cubes. Heat milk in double boiler, add bread cubes, but ter, liquid from salmon, and well- beaten egg yolks. Season with salt and cook un til thickened, stir ring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Beat egg whites stiff and fold into mixture. Pour into greased baking dish. Place dish in pan of warm water and bake in a moder ate (350-degree) oven for 1 hour or until a knife when inserted comes out clean. Note: Chopped shrimp, flaked tuna or minced clams or oysters may be used in place of the salmon. Sauces for Fish: They’re a must with fish because they make it most delicious dish. You’ll like browned butter with lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Or, just cream the butter and season with lemon juice. Horseradish is popular With fish. Take V4 cup drained, pre pared horseradish, season with salt and pepper and one table spoon vinegar, then fold in V4 cup of whipped cream. Tartar is not just another name H ’ for sauce, it’s an affinity with fish fillets. Make it by adding 1 tea spoon minced onion, 2 teaspoons chopped, sweet pickle, 1 teaspoon chopped green olives, and 1 ta blespoon vinegar to % cup may onnaise. Make a cup of medium-thick white sauce and add to this % cup grated cheese and let the cheese melt. Or, 2 chopped, hard- boiled eggs added to white sauce, make a golden crown for baked or fried fish. A platter of fish with broccoli and corn fulfills a good portion of daily dietary requirements. An early touch of spring goes into the menu with a fresh green salad: Toss-Up Salad.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 7 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used bjr permission. BIBLE TEACHINGS AGAINST DRUNKENNESS LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 30:18. 17; Isaiah 28: 1-4. 7: Galatians 5:18-21. GOLDEN TEXT—"Strong drink shall b. bitter to them that drink It.”—Isaiah 24:9. Sowing and reaping is one of those universal laws which applies in all realms of life. What we sow we reap, whether in the farmer’s field, in our national life, or in the life of the individual. It is true physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. How surprising then that intelli gent Americans think we can go on with the use of intoxicants which have destroyed other nations and ex pect to escape the same sad conse quences. Professional men have wrecked their careers, business men lost their hard earned positions, and rich men dissipated their inherit ances; and at the same time each of them has fallen into moral decay —all through their inability to con trol their desire for drink. Yet we continue to license its sale, and so another generation of young men must meet the same temptation. Our lesson presents three results of drunkenness. I. Military Defeat (I Sam. 30:16,, 17). A crisis in the life of King David is related in this chapter. The Amalekites had taken Ziklag. The king and his family were prisoners, held by a host of barbarous men far too strong for them to oppose. He inquired of God and was told to attack. With his little army of 400 men he defeated them. Why? Be cause in a 'drunken debauch they were celebrating their victory of the day before. This was not the first, nor the last, time that military defeat fol lowed indulgence in alcoholic bev erages. It has happened even in the present war. Have we learned the lesson? Will we avoid that danger? In this country our armed forces and defense workers are constantly exposed to temptation—and how many of them fall, anyone may know who ha§ eyes to see. From distant battlefronts come disquieting reports that intoxicants are among the “supplies” which find quick transportation to the very front, where they are soon put to their destructive use. H. National Decay (Isa. 28:1-4, 7). Isaiah was a mighty voice against moral corruption, and for the right eousness of God. With true prophetic insight he saw beneath the outward prosperity and apparent glory of his people, and exposed the sins which would soon destroy them as a na tion. Outstanding among these de structive forces was drunkenness. Turning first to the northern kingr dom of Israel (for the nation had now been divided), he tells them that though their valleys may be fertile and their cities resplendent, the collapse of all their boasted greatness will surely come if they live in revelry and drunkenness. He speaks of the coming of “the mighty and the strong one” (v. 2) who will be like a destroying storm. He refers to Assyria—itself an un godly people, but used of God to scourge His own people who had become indulgent and sinful. There is a truth here which we need to learn. When nations forget God and fail in their responsibilities to Him and to their fellow men; when they become vain and self in dulgent, God will bring judgment upon them. He may use as His in strument nations who are them selves pagan, to accomplish His pur pose. The people should be led in re pentance and righteousness by their religious leaders. How sad that some set an example in the other direc tion. Others who live personal lives above reproach are silent on these important questions lest they give offense to someone who may make it difficult for them. How sad! IH. Eternal Destruction (Gal. 5:19-21). Military loss and national declen sion should be enough to align every right thinking person against intoxi cants. But far worse is the fact that they bring many, many men and women into eternal separation from God. In this passage “drunkenness and revellings” find their proper place with the other works of the flesh which close the door to the kingdom of God. There is no use trying to dismiss or cover it up as the un fortunate weakness of an otherwise nice person, or the natural result of a bit of social fellowship. America has too long regarded a drunken person as a joke—or at most a bit of a nuisance to be indulged and tolerated. The Bible says that “they who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God” (v. 21). That is plain enough, isn’t it? Mr. Drinker, outside or inside the church, had you better not think about that before you drink again? Church of Christ, is it not time for you to do something more effective to deliver the young men and women of America from the constant temp tation now placed before them?
