Washington, January 14, 1918, 3 p.m.

Referring to my telegram January 1. We are about to inaugurate a more intensive conservation drive to try and save the 75,000,000 bushels of wheat referred to. Would you get Lord Rhondda to cable me expressing the imperative necessity of this provision without trenching on Canadian wheat, also similar cable from Wheat Executive to Robson for transmission to me.
