SAYS FOOD CONSERVATION
PLAN is SAFE AND SANE.

x 81 7ICTORY over the Hun will not be
w achieved through starvation in
Germany. The German people
are on short rations. but they are not
starving and do not face the danger
of starvation. An unforeseen collapse
is. of course. possible, but unlikely in
view of the grain wrung from the un-
fortunate peoples of the conquered
areas Their supplies of some essen
tial foods are very short and they lack
varieties they like and have been used
to. but they probably have enough and
will continue to have enough to main
tain the strength necessary to keep on
fighting.
Such is the view expressed by DIR.

was qualified by training. SO when he
came out of Germany he probably knew
as much about the subject as the Ger
mans themselves.
