Show ; v THE PROGRESSIVE OPINION j.- - LIKE BIBLICAL WARRIORS, DOUGHBOYS FIND DAIRY PRODUCTS NOURISHING FARE AS THEY GO TO WAR ' I f t ! , i . 1 t' Nutritional Foods Also Maintain Efficiency Of Workers. By E. M. HARMON Director of Public Relations, National Dairy Council. When David prepared his armies to meet the hosts of Absalom, he provided them with cheese and butter to keep fit. Even before that, dairy-produc-were considered es-sential for the welfare of fight-ing forces. These are observa-tions of War Food Administra-tor Marvin Jones, who states further that, "Today milk and its products have gone to war once more, as they have through the ages. "Never before in all that long his-tory has milk gone to war on so many fronts and in so many differ-ent ways as now. It is dropped by parachutes in the remote jungles of the Pacific. It goes with our planes above the earth and with our sub-marines beneath the seas. It nour-ishes our soldiers on the beaches and in the deserts and in the moun-tains of all the continents between." With all the history of dairy prod-ucts as food for fighting forces be-hind us, however, it is only in re-cent years that their real place has begun to be appreciated. For ex-ample, fresh fluid milk is in the United States army ration now for the first time since the Revolution-ary war. Any comparison of the rations of America's fighting forces in World war I with those of today shows a tremendous increase in the appreci-ation for dairy products. When all of the dairy products in the garri-son ration in World war I are con-verted into terms of fluid milk equivalent they amount to a little over 11 ounces daily. The garri-son ration in this war Includes enough butter, cheese, ice cream, fluid milk and concentrated milks to be equal to 37 ounces of fluid milk a day, or approximately 3 times as much total dairy products as in the first World war. s such as America is now experienc-ing. Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor oi the Journal of the American Medi- - cal association, asserts that when conditions now prevailing in central Europe become known it will be found that protein starvation iJ much more serious than vitamin de-ficiency because of the breakdown in human tissues. This, in turn, opens the way to disease. The proteins of milk and Ms prod-ucts are of the highest quality. Also, the bureau of agricultural eco-nomics of the U. S. department of agriculture states that milk and its products now furnish 40 per cent more protein for human nutrition than at the outbreak of the last World war. In the economy of production of these three critical food nutrients the dairy cow ranks without even a close competitor, according to the bureau of agricultural economics of the U. S. department of agricul-ture. Not only Is milk the most near-ly perfect food, and a well balanced food, but it is almost impossible to get enough calcium and riboflavin without consuming adequate quanti-ties of milk and its products. For each 100 hours of man labor devoted to milk production, 89 pounds of edible protein Is obtained, states the bureau of agricultural economics, USDA. The same amount of time devoted to egg pro-duction yields 56 pounds of protein, to pork 58 pounds, to steers 42 pounds, and to lamb production 58 pounds. Plenty of Calcium Too. In the case of calcium, the differ-ence is much more marked. One hundred man hours of labor devoted to milk production yields 1,354 grams of calcium. The same time devoted to egg production yields 108 grams, to pork production 17 grams, to steers 11 grams, and lambs 20 grams. For riboflavin 100 man hours spent in milk production yields 2,008 milligrams. The same time spent in egg production will produce 996 milligrams, in pork production, 419 milligrams; in beef production, 239 milligrams; and to lamb, 563 milli-grams. When the production of these es-sential human nutrients is figured on the basis of efficiency of feed utiliza-tion, or the amount of nutrients re-produced per acre devoted to the various kinds of livestock, the dairy cow is equally efficient and in some cases even more so. It is, of course, true that in the case of some other human nutrients the superiority of the dairy cow is less obvious, but in any complete comparison she stands without a peer, not only in THE AMERICAN soldier in the first World war ate and drank dairy products equivalent to 11 ounces of fluid milk a day, or about one and a half glasses. The fighting man of today consumes dairy foods amount-ing to 37 ounces of milk daily. consumer groups helping to de-velop and disseminate the kind of information needed to build a stronger, more vital America. Per-sonal contacts, educational movies, exhibits, publicity and more than 375 million pieces of educational mate-rial have been disseminated. As this educational program has approached its maximum fruition during recent years, so the dairy industry itself has responded to the great need for more and more dairy products. . From 1936 to 1939, in-clusive, there was an average pro-duction of about 104 billion pounds of milk annually in the United States. With mounting war needs the dairy industry rapidly increased its production. In 1942, in spite of labor and equipment shortages, production was lifted to over 119 billion pounds. More Dairy Foods in Diet. Some of the most important changes in the American diet in re-cent years comes out of increased consumption of dairy products. Ac-cording to the national dairy council, two food nutrients most likely to be deficient in the human diet are calcium and riboflavin. The bureau of human nutrition and home eco-nomics of the U. S. department of agriculture states that both of these are prevalent in the diets in much greater quantities than a few years ago. These increases, adds the above mentioned bureau, are due to the fact that consumption of milk, ice I SuenMFOOD NUTRIENTS gfT) I RtoducedpuWO MAN HOURS oMk Poundi QjuurU TMUipiajni PRODUCT PROTEIN CALCIUM RIBOFLAVIN HP 56 108 Irlr 58 17 419 (Z7 42 ii 239 , 2 , , v -- 58 20 563 Bigger and Better Men, It is commonly stated that America today has the best fed fighting forces in the world's his-tory. These greatly increased por-tions of dairy products are obviously one of the important reasons. Fur-thermore, according to Dr. George Holm of the bureau of dairy indus-try of the U. S. department of agri-culture, over 10 per cent of all the foods exported to our fighters are dairy products as compared with 2 per cent in World war I. Not only are these fighters of today taller, healthier and better physical speci-mens, but they are being kept that way with the best foods possible. Dairy products serve an addi-tional and extremely important pur-pose of building morale as well. When it comes to keeping up fight-ers' spirits, ice cream, milk and milk drinks top the list. War plants and factories through-out the nation are encouraging the use of milk and its products to keep workers fit so that they may pro-duce the maximum amount of materials and equipment necessary to win the war. Frederick Schlueter, president of the Thermoid company of Trenton, New Jersey, is typical of such individuals and companies. He says that a between meal milk service in his plant reduced acci-dents by 30 per cent and brought about fewer absences, better health, and reduced the mid-da- y fatigue pe-riods to the end that both production and the worker's pay increased. All across the nation these expe-riences are being duplicated in thou-sands upon thousands of factories and war plants. All of the milk and milk products that are available are being used to speed up production so essential in defeating Hitler and Tojo and thereby maintaining the American way of living. Truly, the dairy cow and her products are fighting this war, too, both on the battle fronts and on the home fronts. The necessary appreciation for these --products which are adding so much to the efficiency of America is the result of more than a quarter of a century of intensive nutrition education. At the close of the last World war the nation's leading nutri-tion scientists realized that a short-age of dairy products had contrib-uted to serious physical deficiencies in many parts of the world. Council Is 25 Years Old. At their behest, the dairy indus-try organized the national diary council as its research and educa-tional institution. For more than 25 years the dairy council has worked with educational, professional and cream and cheese have increased about 25 per cent during that time.. It is further stated that this repre-sents one of the greatest improve-ments made in the human diet in recent years. Milk, ice cream and cheese furnish 75 per cent of all the calcium and 46 per cent of all the riboflavin in the national diet. "Calcium is important to the body as a builder and maintainer of bones and teeth," continues the bureau of home nutrition and home economics. "It is also needed in many of the fluids which govern the body's involuntary activities. Ribo-flavin promotes growth and is essen-tial for normal nutrition at all ages. Insufficient quantities of riboflavin for any length of time may be fol-lowed by digestive disturbances and some types of 'eyestrain' and a low-era- d general resistance." Europe's Protein Deficiency. Adequate quantities of the highest quality proteins is another factor of real importance in the food economy the quality of human food but in produced the economy of it as well. In this same connection, Food Administrator Jones points out first that the total needs for milk and its products for our military, lend-leas-and civilian uses are much more urgent than for many other foods.

Aside from the billions Sen- - i ator Butler says we have donated to our South American cousins, we are ; slated to give an oil development to ' Canada that has cost American tax payers close to $150,000,000. In Ice-land we are to pull out the day the war ends and leave airfields and ather developments that have cost as many millions. That same thing Is true in French and Egyptian Af-rica. In the Near East we have (milt airfields, roads and railroads, all to be donated to foreign govern-ments when the war is over. The Santa Claus acts of World War I were but piker stuff as compared with what merry old Uncle Sam is doing this time.

Our armed forces have done, and are doing, iheir job. Those who produce food lave done their full part. The same :annot be said for all of the others who are essential to winning a war, the purpose of which is the preser-vation of their liberties. It is hard for those who are doing their part i to 'See why those who, for personal gain, would block or retard the war i effort, should be coddled and pam pered as striking labor has been.

A survey made y the Family Economic bureau of ihe Northwestern Life Insurance :ompany, shows two out of each ihree women who now have jobs in war industries insist on continuing on an industrial payroll when peace :omes. Sixty-nin- e per cent of the married women now holding war jobs, say they want postwar jobs. It all adds up to a need for more factory jobs than we havet ever Blown before, and more competition lor men workers. SMASHING STRIKES &GAINST GOVERNMENT ' CALVIN COOLIDGE, as governor jf Massachusetts, squashed a police itrike in Boston as a strike against ihe government. That action made Calvin Coolidge President of the United States. In war time what is strike of coal miners, railroad employees, workers in an airplane lactory, shipyard or other plant or mdustry engaged in production for war purposes? They are strikes Igainst the government at a crucial lime. They might be the cause of lefeat for our armed forces and be ihe cause of a heavy loss of soldiers ind sailors lives. The man who, by Irastic measures if necessary, will Hut a stop to such strikes in war lime will enshrine himself in the learts of all loyal American citizens 1: ' TAXES CAN REACH i MAXIMUM THAT THERE IS A POINT at vhich high income and inheritance taxes can produce a diminishing tax return for the government was in the early twenties.

The guessing as to whether Mr. Roosevelt will pickl Mr. Wallace as running mate again has been whetted somewhat lately! in the congressional smoking clois-ters, but it is a rather dull game. The frequently publicized move-ments for Speaker Rayburn or Senator Barkley as replacements hardly represent any action or any attempt at organizing a fight, but rather the preferments of senators. The A. P. and INS tried to con-duct polls of the senate, and found most "democratic legislators yawn-ingl- y surmising Mr. R. would prob-ably select Wallace as an offering to CIO, and that nothing they could do or say would make much difference. In fact, most democratic politieos seem to have decided to watch their tongues most carefully, and thereby have created a strange situation, not unlike the period of frozen' silence which prepared the way for the third term campaign. On a free vote of the democratic side of both houses, either Rayburn or Barkley would run far ahead of Wallace. A few months ago, few legislators would have hesitated to say so. At that time also, the CIO was highly unpopular. Since then, CIO has not changed, but its political action committee has started spend-ing the $700,000 appropriated for the campaign with some successes in the primaries. The fall of Starnes in Alabama and retirement of Dies has been fol-lowed by defeat of Costello (in the .aircraft workers district in Los Angeles) and the defeat of Senator Holman for republican renomination In Oregon. Holman was defeated by a former public member of the War Labor board, Wayne Morse, generally re-garded around here as not un-friendly to CIO. The congressional interpretation is that the CIO went into the republican primary, as there was no contest among the democrats, and gave enough votes to defeat Holman, who was not espe-cially popular anyway. POPULAR SENTIMENT UNCHANGED There is no ground for interpret-ing attitude in the nation as a whole toward CIO (the last measuring of popular sentiment nationally having been reflected in the Mont-gomery Ward case). But those who make democratic politics their busi-ness have coupled these events with Mr. Hoosevelt's determination (they think) to run and have thus pulled a blanket over their heads, to do any future business thereunder. Of course, CIO is a minority of a minority, the lesser part of the union labor movement, and these are thinly voted pri-maries. What force It could bring to bear in an election may be something else again. For the present, it has at least $700,000 and an apparently ruth-less determination to exert its fullest political pressure (even opposing at least one demo-cratic representative who has voted with labor on all except two or three remote issues.) Mr. Wallace is a leader of this group, in the sense that he chooses to act like a talking custodian for that residue of votes while Mr. Roosevelt is busy with the war. In dispatching him to China, Mr. R. said he was "a messenger" not a high sounding title (others flying the same route have been called "ambassadors" and "emissaries"), but Mr. Wallace picked up the title proudly in a formal statement. He spoke in the cosmic gradeur of an Oriental mystic with such sentences as: "The future of China belongs to the world, and the world in justice and peace shall belong to China," whatever that means. It would appear wiser for Mr. Roosevelt to stand with Wallace, but allow the party to fight for Rayburn or Barkley if it chooses. The president already has the CIO which has no place else to go, but could gain votes and prestige by pleasing the democratic party men who are k at the possi-bility of Wallace again, but realize Mr. Roosevelt has as close or a closer hold on the democratic dele-gates to this next convention than he had on the last one when he nominated Wallace against the opposition of every other leader. Senator Truman of Missouri, for instance, came back from Missouri and publicly announced himself for Rayburn. If all this sounds somewhat per-plexing, remember it is not new (Lewis having played the CIO role for the second term and the Ameri-can labor party and CIO having played it jointly for the third term which was similarly silently ap-proached.) Otherwise, the story is still all in one man's mind, a mind which even Chairman Hannegan .ind Barkley in1 their speeches are careful to say they do not know yet.

BEQUEST TO THE BOSS A New York man left a will leav-ing all his money, about $5,000, to the three members of the firm for which he had worked 22 years "in grateful remembrance of the treat-ment accorded me as an employee." In these days when the boss is so widely denounced as a Simon Legree, an exploiter of his workers, etc., this becomes almost the NEWS ITEM OF THE GENERATION. Employers as a whole would forgo gladly the money if now and then they could get a similar expression of kind regard. Never have they needed anything more. Can you fancy what a will of the following type might do for their morale? I, Jarvis P, Withers, being of sound mind, do hereby declare this my last will and testament: 1. To the firm of Jones, Brown & Smith, by which I have been em-ployed for many years, I give and bequeath a framed testimonial in which I declare that, while we had our disagreements and run-in- I never once had the feeling that I was EXPLOITED; and in which I further testify that I at no time found them to be brutal, ruthless, money-ma- d hounds of hell, imps of Satan or polecats. 2. To Hilary Jones, senior partner, I give and bequeath the sum of $1,000. I figure I loafed enough on his time over the years to have cost him much more money. The days I got in late, left early and soldiered on the job must have meant quite a loss to the firm over the years. Mr. Jones was a little aloof, rather strict and wanted his money's worth, but after all he was not a bad egg. 3. To Prentice Brown I give and bequeath the sum of $800. I never got to know Prentice very well. (He never got to know me very well, either. Looking back, it was rather a nice arrangement, and did not prove there was anything hell-ishly wrong about either of us). Although Prentice was reputed to be of extreme dignity and quite a sourpuss, I once entered his office when he had announced he was in conference. I found him playing the harmonica in his shirtsleeves. I always liked him for it. Then there was the time we both got into the elevator an hour late for work and he didn't look at his watch. 4. To Chidsey Smith I give and bequeath $400. He never said a word the time we caught each other at a midweek baseball game when both were supposed to be sick. I recall many occasions when he might have fired me and didn't. 5. I order and instruet my ex-ecutors to state to Messrs. Jones, Brown & Smith that it is not my conclusion that all employers are necessarily inconsiderate, money-pinchin- g Simon Legrees. All my ex-perience with them leads me to a conviction that they are at times human beings. The rumor that Jones has a cloven hoof is false. I once saw him with his shoes off. There has never been anything about Brown's manner to indicate he has a forked tail and spit liquid flames, I do not believe that Smith walks through fire as a hobby. It is my belief that the firm is not possessed of devils. Signed, Jarvis Withers.
