Feed America First
Slogan Is Adopted
By Farm Officials
Ready to Cite Plight Of
Millions in U. 5. If
Europe Pleads Hunger
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Administration farm officials have
a ready answer these days for those
who advocate sharing this coun-
try's surplus food and fiber supplies
with Europe's war destitute.
1t is: Lets feed and clothe Amer
lea first"
Agriculture Department officials
expect the United States to be ur-
gently confronted this winter with
the question of whether 1t should
make charitable gifts of large guam
titles of food and clothing to the
peoples of such invaded countries
as France, Belgium, the Neither
lands and Norway.
They base this expectation on ap-
parently reliable reports that these
countries face serious shortages and
possibly starvation as a result of
war destruction of crops and the
British blockade against imports by
Germany and Italy and territory
controlled by them.
Charity Basis Discussed.
Milo Perkins. the departments
director of marketing, says that I'VE
are going to hear more and more
about solving the surplus problems
of the American farmer by feeding
and clothing the unfortunate peo-
piles of continental Europe. So far,
most of the discussion has been on
a charity basis"
While sympathetic toward Eu-
ropes unfortunate. Mr.. Perkins, like
most other Agriculture Department
leaders, are discouraging proposals
to ship supplies to the war zone.
''If we have any tears to shed for
the hungry of the world" he said
I'VE ought to shed them first in our
own back yard. Before we look at
this problem of continental Euro
pean hunger through telescope, we
ought to look at the problem of un-
derconsumption right here at home
through a microscope"
Ofhcials explain that upwards OF
100000 Americans now receiving
some form of public assistance are
living on inadequate diets.
Mr.. Perkins said that from the
national defense standpoint alone
the country should give its low-in-
come families "a chance to use the
surpluses pending the time they
can get work and buy them" He
said that if civilians in low-income
families had half as much to eat
as the Army feeds its men, the
farm surplus problem would be
solved.
Would Need More Products,
eve would have to produce more
dairy products, more poultry prod
ucts, more meat and more fruits
and vegetables to meet the demand,
he said
Viewing the European food prob
lem from the standpoint of inter-
national politics and the American
preparedness program, farm officials
express the fear that food sent tc

should be disposed of before the
maritime conference is called al
though the conference agenda has
been completed and acceptances
received from l6 countries.
The State Department has desig-
mated Assistant Secretary Henry F.
Grady and Max O'Rell Truitt Of
the Maritime Commission as the
United States delegates to the mari
time conference.
Although the agenda covers many
items. the most important is the
question Of ocean freight rates.
Since the outbreak Of the European
war last September, South and Gen.
trail American countries have been
largely dependent on United States
nag ships as carriers both Of their
exports and imports.
According to reports reaching on
cials here, there have been wide
spread complaints that ocean freight
rates between the United States and
Latin-America are too high. Be-
cause of the allegedly high rates, it

The conference was called In

State Sumner Welles heads, to can
vass shipping problems of the Amer
ican republics. The executive group
of the Financial and Advisory Com
mittee will meet tomorrow Alid may

Nazi-controlled countries would aid

If we ourselves intend to sur
vive," said Mr.. Perkins, I'VE must
be hardheaded enough to make our
own health defenSeS impregnable
Only then can we safely help to
lift the heavy burdens of those who
are suffering because Of Nazi brutal
ity in other lands"
Agriculture Department officials
say the country now has the ma
chinery to distribute food and fiber
surpluses among the needy at home,
but not sufficient funds. They re-
fer to the departments food and
cotton-stamp plans and school lunch
and cotton mattress programs.
Under the stamp plans, the de-
partment distributes buying power,
in the form of Government redeem
able stamps, among the needy for
purchase of designated surplus
foods and cotton products through
retail channels. Under the lunch
program, the Government makes
foods available to schools in low
income areas for free lunches for
children. The mattress program
distributes materials free of charge
among needy for making bedding.
100000, 900 Available.
The department has about $780,
000,0O available to finance these
programs this fiscal year. This
will be sufficient, officials said, to
extend benefits of these programs
to only 100000 of the estimated
eligible 2O,OOO,O 900 and to not more
than 100000 of the estimated g.
100000 school children of low-in.
come families.
Officials said it was probable that
the next Congress would be asked
to appropriate between $400 900 900
and 100000 for such programs.
I'VE are spending billions to de-
fend ourselves with guns so that we
can have peace through prepared
ness" Mr.. Perkins said. I'VE can
afford the extra few hundred mil
lions it will take to build up our
health defenses."
