The Committee on Defence of the United States, through the support of the Allies, has issued a call in which the population of the U.S. warns to support Germany through food stoppages to the starving countries that are now dominated by the Germans.

The American public must not let themselves be brought into those in which, through their compassion for the impoverished countries, they take part of the responsibility of Germany and push it towards the English. In view of the heartbreaking conditions in Europe, we must remain firm.

Every gram of food sent to these countries not only does not relieve the pressure on Germany, but also benefits the Germans. It also makes it easier for Germany to press the occupied countries into fron service for war production.
