The former Food Director ex-
pressed the opinion it would have
been better to have continued the

upon the diversion of credits and
capital for speculative and non
essential purposes until a more bal
anced condition was obtained. Cur
tailment of credits for these pur-
poses, taken in hand during the last

surgical operation instead of a pre-
