l. INTRODUCTION


The United States and the United
Nations face a critical shortage OF
food not only for today's war needs
but even more critically for those OF
the future The offensive against
axis-held Europe and the consequent
problems of feeding our armies and
the millions of liberated people are
in grave danger of being handicapped
and our own mobilization for total
war sabotaged by the failure of
United States agriculture to plan and
to convert for war production.
The blame for this lies squarely
on the refustal of congress, of govern
ment agencies and the so-called Farm
Bloc to give up farming as usual"
and turn to farming for victory. The
resources, in manpower, land and ma
chinery exist in the United States for
an adequate food supply now and in
the future Together with all of the
United Nations we can produce and
distribute enough food to win the war.
All that is required is the courage and
the sense to convert agriculture i'll
the United States away from peace
time methods to those of wartime.
The problems of food production
and distribution, and economic stabil-
ization require overall planning on
national and United Nation scale To
deal with food production, price con
troll and wage sterilization apparently
threatens the Victory drive of the
United States and our Allies.
The calling of the United Nations
Food Conference points to the urgen-
cy of these problems. 1t is to be
hoped that the conference will pro-
duce planned approach to their solu-
ton.
The plan for full war food produc-
ton involves these basic steps:
1. Conversion from non-essential
crops to war crops.
2. Full utilization of available land,
manpower, materials, machinery
and credit
g. Use of subsidy payments and |
other necessary incentives to |
promote conversion of agriculture |
to full war production
4. Utilization of all United Nations |
resources to produce food, thus
saving shipping, materials and |
manpower.
II. THE FOOD CRISIS
Real economic sterilization cannot
be realized without adequate food pro-
duction. The rollback of cost of liv-
ing, price control, rationing, equitable
taxation and all other steps to pro-
ards are useless without the guaran-
teed production of adequate food sup
plies
In the same way, we cannot guar
antee top production of other war ma
terial - tanks, planes, guns, ships -
without taking equal care to secure
the supply of food to the war work
ers.
Today, the food supply is declining
constantly, and will continue to de-
cline until planning is instituted. By
the latter part of 1913, average food
production will have dropped down to
and below 1935-1939 levels-the period
of "one-third of nation ill-fed, ill
clothed, ill-housed"
This average consumption will be
far below the dietary levels necessary )
to keep the millions of people at work
in war industry at health levels nee
essary for top production. In fact,
in many areas these nutrition levels |
are already below health and eff
cheney standards. f
At the same time that shortages I

w. PROGRAM FOR STABlLlZlNG
THE COST OF LIVING


It is evident that the war effort
has already been penalized by agricul-
lures failure to convert to an about
war footing. The Department of Agri-
cultures announcement on May IL,
1943 that poor weather has forced a
downward revision of 1943 food pro-
duction estimates further emphasizes
the importance of considering agricul-
tural policies as an integral element
in economic sterilization along with
price control and wage policies.
Now that labors long standing de-
mand for a roll back in the cost of
living to September Is, 1912 levels
has won general acceptance, it is i'm
portant that such result be brought
1. There can be no automatic roll
back of every price in our vast
economy simply through execu-
tive decree. Such action would
disrupt the war effort just when
it is entering it's most crucial
period.
g. While subsidies are an essential
means for achieving rol back OBJ
jectives, however, there is no
time to waste with ill-conceived,
fragmentary and utterly made
quate schemes of the kind pro-
posed by OPA last week.

enough to really roll back prices
through every stage in the distribu-
tive and productive process, or little
more than would be accomplished by
the temporary depressing of spring.
$500 million dollars can effect no
more than a gesture. Not less than
10 times that amount would be neces-
sary to accomplish roll-back objec-
tives
(1942 agricultural marketings to-
tailed 10 billion dollars. Between
September IS, 1912 and the present,
farm prices have risen 16%. I'm
der current conditions, the distribu-
tive channels add to retail prices an
amount almost equal to that which
the farmer gets.)
2. Subsidies must not only achieve
a price roll-back and price stabiliza-
ton but they must be used as a di-
rect tool for converting agriculture
and for converting distributive chan
nels to war footing.
To merely roll back prices without
affecting underlying production rela-
tionships would be to prevent CONVEX
sion. To start the process of price
absorption at the professor and retail
ends is to assure that farmers will
have little say in the division of such
funds, nor will they be in a position
to prevent distributors from encour-
aging the production of foods which
are most profitable rather than most
necessary.
g. We must think of subsidies in
two streams. One stream should go
to farmers, guiding and aid
ing their conversion to war crops and
absorbing their higher production
costs. Another stream should enter

CAMERA CLUB GOES
TO SABINO CANYON

The USO Camera Club, one of the
most wideaWake hobby groups at
Fort Huachuca, entertained itself
Sunday with an excursion to Sa-
bino Canyon, seventeen miles north
of Tucson. Approximately forty
men made. the trip, with 1t Earl
D. Shepherd in charge.
The group left the USO Club early
Sunday morning with an abundance
of sandwiches, soft drinks, and
fruit. Lunch was, enjoyed in the
Canyon about noon on huge rock
which was used as a table. The
group was Joined by five cowboys
who loaned their horses for riding
and picture taking In addition to
swapping pictures of the scenic
marvels in the Canyon, the group
waded in the mountain streams,
climbed some of the elevated points,
chased deer, and rested in the shade.
All of the members of the club are
very eager to see the pictures that
were made. The group returned by
way of Tucson.
Cpl. Wesley Brown, chairman of
the Camera Club, wishes to thank
the 365th Infantry, the 92nd Re-

Sisters of BVM Order
Visit the KronschiIds

Two of Fort Huachuca's most
charming visitors i'll recent weeks
were Sister Mary Virginia., BVM.
and Sister Mary Agnes, BVNI, who
were house guests last week in the
ohme Of Mr.. and Mrs Frank Kron-
schild of Apache Flats.
Sister Mary Virginita, a cousin of
Mr.. KronSchild, had not seen her
relative for more than so years and
recalled most vividly that the last
time she had seen him he had
aroused her little girl antagonism by
rubbing his Whiskers against her
face Mr.. KronSchild, a butcher
in the Post Commissary Depart
ment. came West from his native
Freeport, Ill, as young man many
years ago and is reputed to have lost
"at least a couple Of fortunes" in
cattle and gold mining deals.
Both of the visiting Catholic sis
tiers are members of the Sisters of
Charity, of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
a teaching order, and both are on
Sabbatical leaves in Tucson. Sister
Mary Virginia. is teacher at the
Holy Angel Academy in Milwaukee,
Wis, and Sister Mary Agnes teaches
at Mundelein college, a branch Of
: Loyola university, in Chicago.
On their first visit to an Army
camp, both sisters we're greatly i'm
pressed with the completeness and
neatness of the military chapels as
well as with the Station Hospital
which compared favorably with
those in the largest cities they had
visited They were also greatly ap-
preciative of the kindness shown by
1t Col Nelson and Chaplain Crit
fin in making it possible for them
to visit the Post.
