Every honest American will be assured that he is neither better nor worse off than every other honest American. Americans are not going to lie about things when they know that telling the truth helps our sons win the war. This is just one of those differences which can't be helped. But if we balanced all inequalities up, we would probably find that they come out about even. Some farmers and their families will have a greater opportunity to grow and can their own foods than some city folks.
Farmers generally buy less canned goods anyway.
And the farmer's family will have an even greater obligation to buy no more rationed foods than they need. Many families who live in towns or cities can grow Victory Gardens. Many plans have been considered, and all are too complicated. All require much more paper work, and none of them works well. The persons who eat in restaurants are under a greater obligation to buy less .rationed food in the stores.
