s.NANNA" FROM SOYA BEANS
WILL AID EUROPE,S STARVING

Hugh Frazier, the American high
commissioner there, state that The
inventors of the new food produce
bread -four and milk from the soya
bean which. they say, is more nu-
tritive and cheaper than the best
previously known foods. Soya milk
costs only one-sixth as much as
cows milk, and soya bread is 40
per cent cheaper than wheat bread.
Hitherto the soya bean has been
cultivated chiefly in the orient.
where it has formed one of the
main articles in their cheap diet.
Although it is not very palatable
to westerners, the inventors claim
that their mamma" is delicious. and
announce that the soya bean will
soon be sown extensively in east
ern and southeastern Europe.
1T Is matter of the highest po-
litical Importance" says the dis
coverer of mama. that the west
should learn the lesson of cheaper
living as taught by the east in the
use of the soya bean as food. This
is the only real solution Of the
problem of reconstruction."
