raiser who. on account of the drouth
must have relief in order to carry a

re not ditrlosed In any detail but Clar-

culture said:
tietrrameat Will Art If Necessary.
"You may depend upon It that no eT-
fort will be spared under the law to re-
lieve tbe situation and to secure a supply
of food at reasonable price. The food
administration will speak and act for II-
aeir but J am confident thai If the or-
dinary agencie of commerce do not al
once erfecl relief the food administration
will exercise Us powers under the law
to that end. Naturally and propcuj guv
eminent agenclea are reluctant to disturb
tlie ordinary agencies or business but a
million and a half cattle will not be per-
mitted to perish ir commercial agencies
da not make tb iiteaisntim effort to re-
spect both prices and distribution. I say
this because I have observad In Tas
papers some i iplealoll lo the effec
that the loud administration has receded
from lis purpose lo ileal with present

that It has remedies which It will apply
