The Seal Of Acceptance Of the

COpncll on Foods Of the
American Medical
Association
The average housewife Is bewil-
dered when confronted with the
food Of advertising claims OF food
manufacturers. She is apt to wish
that there were some board Of inn
partial experts whom she could con-
suit 10 help her sift the true from
the false. There Is such an impair
tial board, the Council on Foods Of
the American Medical Association.
The seal Of acceptance Of this coun-
ell Is a reliable guide to the selec-
tion OF quality foods, truthfully ad-
Vertised.
The Council on Foods is COM
posed Of twelve recognized authori-
ties in food and nutrition. These
members serve without pay. A
headquarters stan OF technical as
sistants is employed to assist the
council members.
Any manufacturer may present
his foods for acceptance. Unlike
some other seals, no fee is required
which helps to assure an impartial
judgment.
Market samples Of the food, labels,
copies of printed or radio advertis-
ing, and evidence TO support any
special claims as to sterility and
vitamin content. must be submitted
to the committee. Detailed infOrma-
tion is required about the culture,
harvesting, collection, delivery, stOr-
age, selection, ripeness, quality, free
dom from contamination, and santa
tion. A complete list Of ingredients
and an exact description of the man
ufacturing method must be given.
The council accepts advertising
which it believes to be truthful.
Scientific information must be clear
.ly and simply expressed so that
those who are not scientists can |
understand it.
If the council believes that the |
advertising claims are untruthful, !
distorted, or exaggerated the manu-
facturer is allowed a reasonable |
time to make recommended changes.
Such claims as that grape juice
will aid in reducing weight or that
candy supplies vim and VigOr are
not considered truthful.
Foods bearing the seal of accept
ance Of the Council on Foods de-
serve special consideration because
the consumer can be sure that the
product is wholesome and its adver-
tising claims are honest.

Utter disillusionment will remain
in Scandinavian minds and hearts
for an inestimable time. It is prob
ably true beyond dispute that Eng
lands prestige has never been so
low within living memory in Norway
and Sweden as 1t is today. Even the
implacable foes Of NaN Germany
in these two countries now see no.
where else to turn. They are say
ing that the Western democracies
have written of Scandinavia and
that Fuehrer Adolf Hitler has won
direct or indirect control Of all three
Scandinavian countries without
having to fight single major battle.
Blunder Charged to British.
The precipitate withdrawal of al
lied forces from both Andalsnes and
Namsos has given the most painful
confirmation to an extraordinary
military blunder which observers
here agree must be charged chiefly
to the British. In the opinion OF
neutral military experts. this is the
case because Britisn troops, air.
planes and warships were all nearer
to the Norwegian coast than the
French forces were.
Therefore, British action alone
could have cut OF German land and
aerial communications with Trond-
helm and so paved the way for a
swift allied seizure of that vital
seaport with its invaluable air
f1elds-without which any Anglo
French campaign in Norway was
doomed.
These facts were self -evident to
any one who watched the Germans
occupy southeastern Norway from
April 8 to IL. On April 16 I wrote
that unless the allies built up an
expeditionary force Of 100000 men
in Norway within two weeks, at the
outside, the German invader stood
an excellent chance of gaining con-
troll of virtually all Norway. On
May l, exactly two weeks later, the
allied withdrawal had begun.
Reasons for Failure.
For the Scandinavians no reas-
suring statements from London
can disguise the true dimensions of
the disastrous allied failure. Their
leaders are also sufficiently well
informed here to note certain of
the main and all-important reasons
for this failure. Foremost among
them are the following:
/. Because the record of their ef-
forts at counter-invasion reveal a
costly and grave lack of co-ordina-
ton between their land, sea and air
forces.
2. Because the British failed not
