Roosevelt Sees Food
Reserves Essential
For Emergencies
Importance as Weapon
Against Hitler Cited
In Note to Wickurd
By the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt declared in
letter made public today by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wickard that the
country needed food reserves ito
meet emergencies which can as yet
be only dimly foreseen."
Addressed to the Secretary the
| communication was in acknowledge
ment of report of the Agriculture
Departments program to encourage
production of pork, dairy products,
poultry products and other foods. 1t
was dated July Is.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that in this
time of crisis food is weapon
against Hitlerism just as much as
munitions and food will continue to
be a weapon in all efforts toward in
suring a more orderly, prosperous
and peaceful world"
Food Agency Unneeded.
He recalled that in the first World
| War it became necessary to estab-
lish food administration, but added
that in the present struggle he saw
IlO ItdSOll W bCllCfC odSli cAA ooSAASS
would be needed.
He said agriculture was meeting
the situation much more satisfactor-
lily by increasing production in an
orderly way so that our own needs
and the needs of our friends can
be met without causing scarcity or
unduly high prices"
xyo,, ppipfo6 ont - fhn prnci~
dent wrote, I'VE need not only
abundant production for sourselves
and for other nations resisting ag-
gression, but we need reserves to
meet emergencies which can as yet
be only dimly foreseen. The mon
strous forces that Nazi-ism has loosed
upon the world are ravaging many
lands. The first task is to beat
down these forces and then to re-
pair the damage they have done
to the best of our ability. In this
process of rebuilding and rehabili-
tation, food will be essential"
He added a belief that farmers
could rest assured that they would
receive fair prices for their products
and would be protected after the
crisis ended.
Farm Committee Formed.
Wickard disclosed that at the
Presidents suggestion he had ap-
pointed the presidents of four lead
ing farm organizations as a COM
mittee on agricultural production
for, defense and related matters.
They are James G.. Patton, presi-
dent of the Farmers Educational
and Co-oerative Union of America;
Edward A. ONeal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation;
Louis j. Taber, master of the Ma
tional Grange. and Judge John D.
Miller, president of the National
Cooperative Council.
The Agriculture Department said
the committee would meet regu-
larly with the Secretary and other
officials to aid in the defense pro-
duction effort and ito give assist
ance in other matters where the
experience and resources of the
farm organizations will prove help
full in meeting defense needs"

fly with artificial limbs he managed
to re-enter the service after the
start of the war and participated
in many daring raids.
In one night during the height

Subsequently he was awarded the
