Food Linked
With History
Of World
Seen as War Victor,
Peace Dictator
BY DR.. LOGAN CLENDENING
"EOOD will win the war and
food will dictate the peace"

This pronouncement of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wickard
has undoubtedly a great deal of
historical wisdom and acumen
behind il.
Modern historians get pretty
far away from the influence of
individuals such as Hitler and
Mussolini on the determination
of history.
They are inclined TO credit
other forces with the changes
in empires. the origin of wars,
the migration of peoples.
1t is not difficult TO find illus
trations of the fact that a nation
or a culture can develop only
when or where a sufficient sup
ply or surplus Of food becomes
available.
There was never a great out
burst of art and literature-at
least a systematic outburst-in
a starving country.
Leisure is necessary TO de-
velop the arts. and for leisure a
good food supply is necessary.
A T THE same time, if culinary
"A art is the only one which is
developing in a country. il may
lead to quite as serious con-
sequences as if there were no
food at all.
Thus we find psychologists
stating that the Roman banquets
probably sealed the fate of the
Roman Empire, and in our own
day the French cuisine, the
French food and wine may
have been factors in the fall of
France.
In short, too much food and
too much catering 10 the appetite
can ruin an empire just as
surely as they ruin an indi-
vidual.
AS a corollary 10 this, ! find
some curious comment made by
DR.. Frederick Hoelzel of the
Department of Physiology, Uni
versity of Chicago.
He thinks that two cultures
which have enjoyed the longest
continuous history without seri-
Gus interruption, such as the
cultures of India and China,
depended partially at least on
a relatively steady state or
balance between the supply and
the use of food.
IN WORLD WAR I German
Il resistance cracked partly be-
cause of undernourishment due
to the food blockade, and shortly
after that Russia came close
TO complete collapse because
of famine conditions in that
country.
Doctor Hoelzers most curious
and stimulating suggestion con-
Germs the effect of starvation
periods on mental and physical
vigor after the starvation period
is over.
He has had a personal eX-
perience of 600 days of fasting
during the past 80 years and he
believes that the most striking
after.effects of fasting or food
restriction occur between the
ages of about 25 and 35.
He believes that this would
