mo corn can be shipped across the
Atlantic for two months after the
first of April, because that is the ger
minating season for corr and it will
not stand shipment" the United States
Food Administration explains and
adds:
"Now, in this period Of extreme diff
Guilty in Europe, the time when the
morale of the civil population of our
allies is at its lowest ebb, il does not
stand for us to say, You car wait two
months and then you can eat corn 1t
is for us to say, You shall receive
every solitary grain of wheat that our
ports a handle
every shipment of wheat that we
can send from u ports is a shipment
saved from the Argentine. Every ship
can do double the duty from our ports
that it can do from the Argentine.
Every time that we send a shipment
we save two ships from the Argentine.
Every time we save a ship we save the
transport and the supply of one regi-
ment of American soldiers"
