The truth, as recently released figures very clearly show, is that the amount of food available to civilians would not be significantly increased even if the army entirely 4 stomped uaincr such foods. If all the army's uses of butter were turned over for civilians usage, each person in the country par. r 2 - : . George I lost-tim- Kinney shows , how the directors of safety campaign look to him.

The army's requirement of 26S million pounds of coffee for 1943 seems tremendous until it is realized that that is only about 15 per cent of the estimated available domestic supply. If coffee were denied to soldiers, each civilian would receive little more than a quarter of a pound more per ration period. Since soldiers drink only slightly more milk than the average American adult did in 1941, there will be considerably mere fluid milk available for civilians this year than in recent years. It should not be understood by this article that the food shortage facing the nation is a myth. The food shortage is real enough, but its cause cannot be laid at the door of large army purchases. Other economic and political factors are behind the food crisis, and government requirements play only a minor role.
