is a single person in the United
States who objects to that.
Some OF our food also goes to our
Allies. To hear some people talk,
you would think that most of it is
going to our Allies. That is not So
what goes to our ow harmed forces;
and don't forget that to some ex-
tent, this exchange of food works
both ways. Some British food and
a great deal of Australian food is
supplied by the governments of
those countries to our troops who
are stationed there.
The percentage Of our production
which is sent to our Allies is greater
in some foods than in others; that
is due to the shipping situation,
and Secretary Wickard will give you
some details. But the total sent to
our Allies is less than what is sup
piled to our own armed forces: it
is small compared to what is left
for us at home.
Nevertheless, there are a few peo-
pie who don't seem to understand
why we send food to our Allies at
all, if it means that we must do
with less than usual of something
that We happen to like. Well, the
answer to that one is simple-We are
sending food to our Allies, because
they are helping us to win the war
They are not helping us to win the
war for our sake, any more than we
are sending them food for their

out Of Tunis. If the British people
had not continued to hold out Civ
ing our Army and Navy an advanced
base in Europe, We might not have
been able to undertake an often
sive against the Germans at all
AS you all know, the British used
to import most of their food, and
some of their usual sources of sup
ply have been cut off. 1t is only
simple common sense for us to
spare some of our food, to help feed
the British Army that is killing Ger
mans, whom we won't have to kill,
and to help feed the British indus
trial population which is constantly
turning out more war material that
will help to win the war.
This war can be won only by
killing enough Germans to discour-
age the rest of them. Enough Japa-
nese. too, but We can leave them out
of this discussion; since in the
Pacific area We get food from our
Allies, instead of sending it to them.
Now the Russians, so far, have
killed more Germans than every
body else put together and that is
why it makes sense for us to send
food to Russia. AS you know,
Russia used to be great food
producing country. but some of its
richest farming areas have been
occupied.
We send food to the Russian
Army, because every German who
is killed by a Russian is a German
whom We won't have to kill, or,
for that matter, a German who will
never have chance to kill Ameri-
can soldiers. The food we sen to
our Allies is a direct contribution
to the winning of the war-to win
ming it more quickly, and at less
cost in American lives.

BY the Associated Press,
The tert OF Price Admins
traitor Leon Hendersons state
nent on the OPA program tor
rdtioning commercially proceSSed
fruits and vegetables tollo1OS:
The Office of Price Administration
has been directed by the Depart
ment of Agriculture to undertake
the rationing Of virtually all COM
mercially procesSed vegetables and
fruits-canned. bottled and frozen
vegetables. fruits, juices, dried fruits
and all soups.
Requirements of our armed forces
the armed forces of our Allies and
civilian populations of our Allies
who are unable to provide adequate
food for themselves have made il
necessary for us to institute this
rationing program so that an en-
tirely equitable distribution can be
made of the supplies which We will
have here at home.
To allow our civilian supplies to
IL
to retailers and finally to the con-
sumer, without regard for fair dis
tribution, would create fatal inequi-
ties When supplies are limited by
war needs, they cannot be distrib-
uted on a first come first served
basis
1t is the Governments RESPONSE
bility to assure every citizen an op-
portunity to get his fair share and
the only means to achieve that
highly desirable end is to institute
rationing that we may share and
share alike.
Million and Half OPA
Volunteers Needed.
1t is expected that this food ra-
tioning program will begin in Feb
ruarv when the mechanics of the
system will be ready to roll. The
reasons for announcing the pro-
gram this far in advance may be
found in the magnitude of the jot
to be done before rationing can be-
gin. For example, printing wal
ration book two and distributing
the books to every family in the
country represent one of the largest
efforts of the kind ever undertaken
A million and a half OPA volun-
teers must be recruited and trained
to handle The registration, Full in
formation on the mechanics of the
ration plan must be gotten to every
food professor, every food whole
saler and every food retailer in the
country To instruct members of
the food distributing trade in the
workings of the ration system, thou
sands of trade meetings must be
held from coast to coast during the
next few weeks. And finally. but
most important. the public must be
adequately informed on the use of
war ration book two in time for the
beginning of rationing.
This represents the heaviest ad-
ministrative responsibility upon the
agencies of Government. 1t also
demands the full cooperation of
every member Of the consuming
public. The Government looks to

"eSS tuSt UIgHL.
This is talk about food and It's
relation to the war. In a few min
utes the Secretary of Agriculture will
talk to you. He is the official
charged with the wartime distribu-
ton OF our food supply But first I
should like to say something, as the
head OF the agency whose job is to
Keep the people informed about
what is going on. We appreciate
the courtesy of the radio networks
in giving us this time tonight and
we assure you that we would not ask
the country to forego listening to
some OF its favorite programs if we
did not have something to talk
about that is vitally important to
everybody in the United States.
We all eat food and whatever
sacrifices we may have to make. to
take care of the needs of our fight
ing men, the American people will
continue, throughout the war, to
be better fed than any other nation
on earth. What Secretary Wickard
and / want to talk about is how we
can best make sure that after the
men in the armed forces have been
taken care of the rest of us will all
go on getting three square meals
a day.
AS you know. it was announced
today that a new program of ra-
tioning for canned and dried foods
will go into effect within a few
weeks. Now Why talk about it so
far in advance? Every one in the
Government who has anything to
do with rationing programs is in
agreement that it would be a good
Idea not to announce any rationing
measures unless they are ready to
be put into operation-if we could
help 1t. But the new system of
point rationing, which you will find
explained in tomorrow mornings
newspapers. will require the CO.
operation of thousands of whole
salers, hundreds of thousands of
retail grocers and of the million and
half of local OPA volunteers.
To familiarize them with their
parts in the program will take time
and in that time partial and mis-
taken stories are likely to get around
as to what is going on and what is
intended. So it seemed best to tell
the people tonight what is intended
and why, even though it is not going
to be put into operation till some
time in February.
Confident People
Won't Try to Hoard.
Now it is perfectly true that this
interval gives chiselers and hoarders
q chance to stock up if they are so
inclined-and if they can get away
with it. But I am confident that
the overwhelming majority of the
American people are patriotic
enough and sensible enough not to
try to do that, for it would injure
the workings of a system which
seems, so far as can be seen now,
to be the best that can be devised,
to make sure that our food supply
Is fairly and evenly distributed.
AS you know Price Administrator
Henderson has resigned and some
people have seemed to think that
a change at the head of the Office
of Price Administration, which is
charged with carrying out the ra-
toning programs, means relaxa-
ton of rationing 1t does not. Ra-
tioning cannot and will not be re-
Evening star., 1942-12-28

are we going to see that what we
have left-a supply that will amply
nourish all of us, If it Is fairly dis
tributed-how are we going to see
that that supply is fairly passed
around? There is no doubt that
rationing is nuisance-though not
very much of nuisance compared
to some of the things our troops at
the front have to undergo, to the
same end, the winning of the war.
Still. rationing is bothersome; the
OPA, which has to handle the ra-
tioning programs, will never be
popular: but they aren't in there to
be popular, they are in there to help
win the war.
II any particular rationing pro-
gram works badly, mistakes will be
corrected. But as to the principle
of rationing, what would work bet
ter? Some few people have talked
about the good old law of supply
and demand. Well, the demand for
food is universal; the law of supply
and demand. in this case, merely
means balancing the supply of food
against the supply of money.
People with most money would
get most to eat; bidding against one
another, they would push food prices
up so high that presently some
people would be getting nothing to
eat at all. Not many Of us are likely
to take that proposal seriously. Of
course, we have price ceilings on
many foods: and some people would
say that with that safeguard, we
could let nature take its course, let
everybody buy as much as he can
get.
Hoarder Cheats
Himself, Too.
But that gives an unfair advan-
tage to people who have the leisure
to shop around from store to store,
picking up this much here and that
much there; it gives the chiselers
and hoarders break, to the disad-
vantage both of the busy housewife

U. S. Food Is Playing
Big Role in War Strategy.

Big Role in War Strategy.
Since we are breaking all records
for production some people may
wonder why it is necessary to ration
any food. If we didn't send any
food to our soldiers or Allies our peo-
pie here at home would have more
than they could eat But, of course,
we intend to use our food as we
are using other vital resources-to
win this war as quickly as possible.
Food from the United States is
playing a tremendous part in the
war strategy of the United Nations
Our fighting men must have plenty
of food-far more than they needed
in civilian life Wherever they go
large food reserves must travel with
them. Our men who landed in
North Africa, for instance, had large
emergency food supplies.
American food has helped win the
support of the inhabitants of North
Africa. 1t will help win the support
Of other peoples of liberated coun-
tries and thus will save the lives OF
thousands of American boys. Nearly
every pound Of. food we sent to
Russia goes direct to the Russian
Army. That food saves the lives not
only Of Russian soldiers but of oul
American soldiers who otherwise
