No Quick End of Famine Seen Production and sharing of food to help solve the problem of world food shortage is more than a temporary tem-porary concern of the U.S. farmers and consumers, according to H. E. Larson, member of the Utah state PMA committee. Latest estimates are that the world food shortage will continue through this year & at. least until the 1947 harvest and this estimate does not, of course, take into consideration the effects on the food picture that extensive unfavorable weather conditions could have. It is expected that there will be some temporary relief of the critical criti-cal famine situation near the end j of the summer when the European grain harvest is completed, he said. i This relief will be only temporary , for most of the nations of Europe do not produce as much grain as they consume in normal times, and the shortage of manpower, of farm machinery, fertilizers, and of tractor horse power resulting from the war means that their production produc-tion this year will be even smaller than in the pre-war years. Shipments of grain during the coming fall, winter and spring will be needed to avert another famine. He pointed out the Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson, has predicted that: "There simply will not be enought grain produced produc-ed in the U. S. and other countries that have grain to export, to permit per-mit feeding record numbers of livestock live-stock and still provide hungry people peo-ple with the grain they need to maintain life. We must make a choice between feeding starving people and maintaining our livestock live-stock numbers at record levels. Our choice, obviously, must be in favor of people." |
