WAR SITUATION
MAY ALTER FOOD
REGULATI ONSNOW

| "Interallied food council IN London
I is discussing the possibility of dimin-
! ishing the percentage of substitutes
used in wheat bread b. January l."
officials of the federal food admin
/ istration for New Mexico announced
| yesterday
This would apply to all allied
countries and be brought about by
/ the change in the military situation.
The Austrian armistice will no doubt
result in greater safety to shipping in
I the Mediterranean sea and increase
the accessibility 10 Indian and Aus
tralian wheat supplies even if Ger
many does not quit war.
This should make sufficient wheat
for these countries available during
| the winter to reduce the amount of
! substitutes in bread of allied countries
and allow substitutes now being i'm
| ported from America by the allies to
! be used for dairy feeds. of which
there is great shortage. The same
situation in feeds exists in the United
States. This would also be indirectly
relieved by relaxing the use of sub
! stitutes in bread. The altered war
situation would thus enable us to Sc
/ cure better adjustment between hui
man and animal food.
! The change in the war situation.
| however, does not alter the totals of
/ food demands upon the United States,
| but will increase our load. There will,
| therefore, be increased demands for
economy. We must now participate
| in preservation of the newly liberated
nations in Austria from starvation. 1t
| is anticipated that while some wheat
may he needed from the United States,
b. ST ftNEt
quarter will be corn. rye. barley and
| fats. Austrian merchant shipping
! must be placed in service before eX-
! ports can be started to them"
