Excerpt from Thirty Cent Bread: How to Escape a Higher Cost of Living

Europe needs our food, needs it in larger quan tities than under present conditions we are able to provide. This assertion, literally true at this hour, shall remain true only in so far as we ignore the undeveloped resources that lie at hand. It will re main true only in so far as it rests upon our wasteful standards of the past, our pinched capacities of the present and our failure to heed the unpromising prospects of the future.

Certain changes in our old standards and certain extensions in our present capacities have been urged by earnest and patriotic men. But, at their best, they fall far short of the service which the President expects us to render, which he promised we would render, and which every one of us in abundant and heroic measure is eager to render.

Our lofty expectations cannot be realized. Our earnest promise cannot be fulfilled. Our high duties cannot be discharged unless we go much farther than any of the suggestions heretofore offered or any of the plans now contemplated.
