The sweeping publicity campaign to induce Americans to save for the hungry in the rest of the world ceased the moment the coal strike became serious, but only temporarily. There was no use considering con-sidering food saving when a fuel tie-up and transportation curtail ment threatened spoilage of indefinite in-definite proportions. But the tenor of the campaign had made everyone every-one believe that the problem, of alleviating world hunger was simply dependent upon a resolution by the American people to eat less. Any objective investigation will prove these following greater facts to the contrary: (A) No matter what our savings, sav-ings, we will not be able to give the world th hulk of foods we have promised. (B) We have moved so late that we are not simply taking food from our tables, but have become involved In promises which will cause a fast and sharp decline in onr own food production. (C) For this year, and possibly pos-sibly two or (tree, we will get less meat, butter and cheese than In the war years of rationing. ra-tioning. Our diets will be changed to cereals, vegetables and fruits which should he available In sufficient quantities to stave off hunger here. The need of many sections of the world for food has now been estab lished beyond question, although the earlier whooping-up campaign contained much hokum about non existent needs. An army news re sume currently quotes Brigadier General Fisher of our occupation forces as saying the German farms are the most prosperous in the world today. Another similar report re-port of equal authority says there are no starving Bavarians. The British ministry has announced sufficient suf-ficient stores of food in that nation to meet rationing quotas In all lines, even butter and cheese which are practically non-existent in "white" markets here. WHERE SHORTAGES ARE xne European shortages are largely In the Russian occupied areas, plus Italy, Greece and some parts of France. The two ships diverted from England by head man La Guardia of UNRRA. went to Russian occupied zones. Yet the need in actual hunger areas is real So is it also on the other side of the world, In India, China and the Philippines. To meet these needs we have en tered upon a complete upsetting of our economy to the point of promot ing further reduced production, particularly of livestock, all forms of animal foods, poultry, hogs, sheep, dairy and beef cattle. Our beef cattle population, which last year numbered 83 million, has run below 80 million and is going down fast' On a prewar ratio to population, popula-tion, we should have over 100 million mil-lion beef cattle. The pig crop has been limited to 31 million, which is about three-fourths of what could be considered normal These curtailments were forced because wheat and corn feed stocks have been cut In order to send them to the rest of the world. In short, by sending teed abroad we can do no more than produce three- fourths our usual number of pigs. A government order denies chicken feed to any poultry raiser having more than 80 per cent of the number num-ber of chickens he had last year. This will force a 20 per cent reduction re-duction In poultry population. While there are no particular restrictions re-strictions on beef cattle feed, it cannot be purchased, and unless the farmer has corn, oats and hay. he must sell his cattle. Similarly, the government is promoting the sale of hogs, at lighter weights than usual which will decrease production produc-tion further. FTJTTJRi FULL OF TPS' Where we go from here Is a problem of many "its." If we do not undertake a world food export program another year, we may restore re-store normal livestock supplies In two or three years. Only poultry and pigs can bo restored in less time, and pigs require about nine months. If we have a good crop, our own food situation will be no worse than related above, but the optimistic government expectations on the wheat erop are already running run-ning into doubt Officially they talk of more than a billion bushels, but the local moisture situation has indicated the winter wheat crop win not Justify any such guess on the year as a whole. You might ask why the government govern-ment does not promote expansion of production. It got aroused about food a little too late for that. To feed the hungry abroad there is nothing to be done now except to curtail domestic consumption, and enter the country largely upon fruit and vegetable diet for as Indefinite In-definite period. fmvAn f.tvva DrMuvrvA ivi rnn,. . . s . . . ... - ... v uiiu , . nut mo depression soap sines, Dai oreaa lines caused by the rationing of flour to bakeries, has resulted In bread lines In most cities and before the doors of most bak. ries.
