Chester C. Davis, war food ad-
ministrator, said today that de-
spite floods and an unfavorable
spring the present outlook indi-
Gates greater farm production
this year than at any time in his
tory except last year.
In radio address. the admins
traitor said farmers broke all-time
records in 1889, again in 1910, 194l
and 1912
But our civilian consumers alone
ate up IS per cent of that enormous
production of last year" Davis said
Only IS per cent of it went to our
armed forces and lease-lend. The
last two years have been a great
feast period for our civilian consum-
ers,
The civilian consumer has had
more money to spend than ever be-
fore and he has tried to spend it.
II that runaway purchasing power
can be harnessed. it. too, can be
made to serve in our national team
work"
Mr.. Davis, discussing the team
work he said enables Allied strategy
to carry the war to the enemy, said
that food sent to Russia is a cheap
price to pay for the tremendous
blows against our enemy which this
food helps to make possible"
Il suppose each ton of food we
send to Russia" he added, helps to
destroy as much Of our enemy's poW-
er as any other ton of food we pro-
duce"
Mr.. Davis said about per cent of
the Nations total food production
was exported for lease-lend in 1912
and that this year it would amount
to about II or II per cent.
Lease-lend food exported by this
Nation last year was at a rate of 16
pounds per capita, he said, while
Australia and New Zealand lease
lent food at the rate of 26 pounds
per capita. He added that Britain,
although short of food itself, has
been furnishing about one half of
everything our soldiers in Britain
eat, "and furnishing it to us free,
under reverse least-lend"

The bill still must go through the

If it becomes a law, the President

AS the bill is now worded, the names
OF incumbents would have to be sub

Senate would have until September

PRESIDENT SURPRISED

The President got something of surprise from other farm leaders at their general approval of the price subsidy program. He has been trying to sell this to the Con- gressional farm bloc for months, without success. The farm leaders now call subsidies by another name, price support" but the White House is not quibbling over names.
 Regardless of the name, all the farm spokesmen agreed that federal price support subsidies are needed to insure bumper farm crop next year. Even Ed O'Neal, president of the Farm Bureau Federation, one of the strongest opponents of sub sidies, concurred.
 O'Neal admitted that such pro- gram would help to head off in- flation, but he caused the President almost to keel out of his chair by protesting against the American Farm Bureaus number one battle hymn-higher farm prices.
 The Farm Bureau President de- clared that if prices went too high that might react against the farmer

 Russia, apparently, looks at the United States as two countries One is the country which is pouring men and materials into the European battle to relieve pressure on the Russians by Germany and at the same time sends Russia many war materials
 The other United States is fighting war with Japan. and Russia considers herself neutral in this struggle
 If there has been any bitterness in Russia over the failure of Russia being included in any United Nations conferences we fail to the reason for
 this After al the representatives of these nations just much concerned with the defeat of Japan, and with fighting Japan, as they with Germany. But Russia does not concern herself with Japan.

 Practically all discussion of the British and Canadian conscription programs was significantly deleted from the record. But Patterson ex- plained that plans for drafting men in the United States and Great Britain are worked out by the Com bined Chiefs of Staff We have to take our share" he added.
 Senator Majority Leader Alben Barkley of Kentucky injected one chuckle into the proceedings when it was revealed that some men with only one eye or one leg had been drafted for limited service. While McNarney was being questioned about this, the droll Kentuckian suddenly observed:

FDR AND HOOVER

Herbert Hoover came in for some rough handling during President Rcosevelt's conference with the leaders of the Big Four farm organi- zations recently.
 Roosevelt said that several state mcnts Hoover made recently, critic i2ing the mess" the administration has made of the food problem and demanding an overall food czar, all most provoked him to a public reply.
 Such criticisms undermine public morale in wartime, the President told his guests. adding:
 No doubt MT. Hoover is getting a lot of glee out of emphasizing the shortages of meat and other commodities, which we all have to put up with in these times"
 The President dwelt on Hoover for some time He endeavored, while not saying so directly. to get over the point that his Republican predecessor was attempting to make political capital out of the war pri- vations
 Roosevelt was in fighting trim all through the conference The first thing he told the farm group spokesmen was that he was disap- pointed about the "disunity" in farm ranks over price subsidies Subsi- dies, he said, were necessary both to prevent imitation and to boost the production Of vital farm crops.
 I'm willing to give and take, MT. President said James Patton, president of the National Farmers Union. but won't stop arguing on fundamentals. I want to raise my small voice for about 100000 small farmers who need more than higher prices to keep them alive. They also need greater financial assist ance from the government.
