plus of some foods in Australia.
India and the Argentine, but to bring
foods from those remote ports would
require more shipping than we can
spare.
That is why the enormous respon-
sihility for feeding the Allies is
Largely ours II instead Of satisfying
practically Nhalf their food needs, as
was the case during the current year,
we could send during the coming
year their entire outside supply. 1t
would mean the release OF almost a
million and half tons OF shipping
To do this would mean still more
stringent saving. Last year our peo-
Pile voluntarily reduced their con
sumption about seven per cent Even
more may be demanded of US another
year.
There is no time for such trivlali-
ties as hard and-fast food prefer.

people OF America may return to
whatever fare they like best, If they
wish But all that matters little
now.
