streets are long queues in front
of sidewalk vendors selling few
cherries which have escaped jam
pots.
Each year OF the war, British
palates sample increasingly few
varieties of fresh meats and veg
ctables But despite four years
of war, everyone in Britain is
eating a remarkably well-bal-
anced, nourishing diet--far bet
ter. in fact, than the average
Briton ate before the war This
is due 10 long-range planning
which today is considering the
food problems ID months hence.
II started in 1886 when the
Board Of Trade established
new section. Food Defense Plans
Department. Five days after the
outbreak OF the war, this became
the Ministry of Food.
The Food Defense Plans De-
partment set 10 the work of de-
termining the nations basic die
tary needs. this TO be worked
out in terms Of calories and Wit
amins.
When. for example, il found
that margarine must partly re-
place butter. IL ordered marga-
rine fortified with vitamins A
and d 10 make il the nutritional
equivalent OF butter. With needs
determined. the Department set
out 10 build up huge reserves or
basic staples in decentralized
ware houses so that, come hell
or high water, these necessities
would be available everywhere
Came the hell Of blitzes and, be-
cause Of stocks stored in emer-
gency shadow larders" none
went hungry even for day.
The day war was declared,
the government took control Of
prices and supplies. Today the
Ministry Of Food either buys
outright or controls the buying
of the entire crop (home grown
or imported Of every basic
foodstuff and meat. Thus Il can
direct any foods 10 any area
needing them.
How does the Ministry OF
Food know the local needs?
First. because the British house
wife must register with the gro
Ger, the butcher and the dairy
and can buy only from those
with whom she has registered.
Regional food officers. on the
basis of these registrations and
a survey of local stocks, advise
the Ministry of Food exactly
what is needed, how much,
where and when.
The British housewives prob
lem is not with rationed foods

but with fresh, perishable COM
modities like vegetables and
fish. These are unrationed. She
may have to wait in long
queue only TO find nothing is
left or nothing in the range Of
her purse save potatoes and
Brussels sprouts. This is especi-
ally true in winter.
USE ZONING SCHEME
The Ministry OF Food was the
first TO admit that British fam
lies had TO change their tastes.
To save precious transportation,
tt. system of coming was started
last August. The British Isles
were divided into nine zones,
and retailers can buy only from
wholesalers in the same zone.
This means that if you live in
Scotland and your favorite cook
lie is manufactured In London,
you will have 10 settle for the
local Scottish cookie.

Diplomatic Try
To Remove Italy
From War Now on
Arrival of Diplomats,
Clergyman at Vatican.
Not Mere Coincidence

LONDON, March l. (UP)
"A major diplomatic war
appeared to be developing
between the Allies and the
Axis today with the possibili-
ty that Italy's ultimate removal
from the ranks of the belligerent
powers may be at stake.
The outlines of the diplomatic
maneuvers still are blurred and in
some cases deliberately are obscur-
ed by smoke screens, but there ap-
pear to be at least two campaigns
underway.
RESULT OF CONFERENCE
The first was started by the allies
as a result Of the Casablanca con-
ference. The second is diplomatic
counteroffensive started by Ger
many as a result of its setbacks in
Russia.
1t is regarded here as consider
ablT more than a coincidence that
the German foreign minister, Joa-
chin Won Ribbentrop, has turned up
in Rome at the exact moment when
the interest of European diplomats
was centered on Rome because OF
Archbishop Francis }. Spellman's
visit to the Pope and the transfer
of Count GaleaZzo Ciano to the
Vatican by Benito Mussolini.
OBJECTIVE CLEAR
The objective of the Allied diplo-
matte offensive is clear-cut and
looSening her ties with her satel-
lite nations and to encourage the
few remaining European neutral
states to swing toward the Allies

The commander of the United
States forces in China emphasized
his conviction that victory in the

Nations put the necessary stuff

Looking to the possibility elimi-
mating Japan in ,1943 if an all out
effort is made, the blunt spoken

Il think there are some men in
a high position who already realize
this"
While an undisclosed number of
ARM transrorts-far larger than
that previously utilized-thundered
overhead with suppH-s for China
Chennault pondered the situation
and then said the prospects ARE
definitely brighter" for carrying the
war to Japan.
STRONG PROMISES
He said the promises by President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill of aid to China are
the strongest yet made. There cer-
talnly is reason to believe the Amer

McNu++ Will Try
To Solve Problem
Volunteer Basis

WASHINGTON, March l.
CUP)-War Manpower Chief
Paul V. McNutt said today
that a labor draft bill is not
needed at this time and that
he is determined to solve the man.
power problem through voluntary
measures.
McNutt's views, in conflict with
those of Secretary of War Henry l..
Stimson who has endorsed the
Wadsworth- Austin national service
bill, were presented at press con-
ference. At first, he took the po-
sition that he had no comment to
make.
M'NUTT COMMENTS
But when asked whether he
agreed with Stimson view that
national service act is needed to
solve the problem, McNutt said:
II am determined to try the vol
untary method and do everything
in my power-in all sincerity-to
make the voluntary method work" !"
McNutt then explained that his
mind has been unchanged on the
methods of solving the problem
since President Roosevelt broaden
ed his powers by executive order,
December 5. That order definite
ly placed the manpower problem on
a, voluntary basis =, E
When asked whether his mind
had changed since September 80,
when in an appearance before a
congressional committee. he said
national service legislation was
needed, McNutt referred to a re-
cent statement that his mind had
not changed since December 5.
48-HOUR WEEK
McNutt asserted that he would
put the 48-hour week in effect in
80 labor shortage areas and in the
ferrous metal mining n d
lumber industries despite the fact
that the House appropriations COM
mittee rejected his request for
] $2,50O,000 with which to bring us.
employment service salaries UP to
! federal scale.
The employment service. given
the task of reassigning workers un-
der the 48-hour week. has been hav-
ing difficulty obtaining personnel
because of its low salaries.
McNutt expressed his views as
congressional lines were being
drawn for showdown fight over
draft labor legislation. Leaders
studied broad program by Sen
ator Theodore F. Green, Democrat,
Rhole Island, for solving the farm
manpower problem.
