 CANNED MEAT
 With many millions unem- ployed, with many thousands still undernourished, the United States army has on its hands a large quantity of canned meat which 1t cannot give away, can- not sell, cannot use itself.
 This is not because the meat is bad. On tho contrary it is rated as above grade. The one difficulty is that the meat comes from Argentina. And an execu- tive order has been issued pro- htbiting the army, navy or any relief agency from using foreign meat.
 The order caught the army with a large quantity of canned meat purchased in a hurry to feed the CCC. At that time there was virtually no meat canned in this country. American meat packers did their canning i'm Argentina.
 Since the army cannot eat the meat, give 1t away or sell it, the only alternative is to keep 1t. Good canned meat will keep for about twenty years. General MacArthur figures by that time there will be another world war and the country will forget about foreign prejudice.
