food supplies a little better than we
expected" Lord Rennell said. Many
regions in Southern Italy grow
enough food to meet their own basic
requirements. The usual answer
when we ask local leaders what sup
ply they have on hand is: Enough
for one more week When that week
is up it generally turns out there is
enough for another week. But I
grant, and every one must grant
that is not fundamental solution
to this problem. Winter lies ahead
and so does industrial, nonagricul-
tural Italy.
Already in some places we are
administering Reggie Calabria, for
instance, and Messina across the
straits in Sicily-there are no agri-
cultural resources to feed the peo-
pie. That calls for transport You

The same goes for typhus. Before

cally destroy routes of water supply
Around Naples alone they smashed
six such avenues.
Naples draws her water from the
western slopes of the mountains in
the interior" Lord Rennell ex-
planned. The supply for the Apuli-
an provinces of Taranto, Brindisi
and Bari, now administered by the
Kings government under Marshal
Pietro Badoglio comes from the
eastern side Of the same hills.
Since the Germans blew the
aqueducts wherever possible, Apulia
has had to subsist on its own water,
which is well water, and brackish at
that. Army engineers have done
excellent work to save this situation
however, and rain will help even
more"

Transport Of Food, .

Are AMG Problems
By JOHN LARDNER.

WITH THE AMERICAN 5th

Oct. 10 (NAN.AD Delayed IF
any one knows the whereabouts of
100 cargo ships which are knocking
around with nothing to do and no
previous commitments, let him
apply without delay TO Maj. Gen.
Lord Rennell of Rodd chief ad-
ministrator Of the Allied Military
Government here, who will know
how to use them.
Though, as matter of fact" said
Lord Rennell when your cor
respondent met him on q road in
the course of a tour of liberated
Southern italy, If by some miracle
We got all the ships we need to
deliver food to the people of this
country we would still have to train
cars and lorries to jump over the
broken bridges. Transport, by sea
and road is our major food supply
problem, and food supply is the
major problem of our whole pro-
gram Just now, far more urgent
than any political considerations"
The AMG chief emphasized that
the Kings new government, which
administers the four Apulian prov
inceS in Southeastern Italy, does
not alter the purpose or greatly
case the task AMG has set itself in
other parts of the country liberated
by the Allied military advance.
Work Will Go on.
The AMG will continue as
before Lord Rennel said How
long it will have to continue here /
do not know. At least till we take
Rome. I should think Frankly, l
haven't time to Worrv about it."
Like all formulas designed tc
handle complicated jobs, the AMG
cannot achieve 100 per cent effec-
tiveneSS at all times. Lord Rennell
dld not say so, but 1t seems fair
inference from the present situation
as he outlined it and as reporters
here have seen it that there is too
great gap between committees in
Washington and London computing
now many Galleries the Italian
people need per capita and the
actual delivery of foodStuffs.
IN the long run" Lord Rennell
said ref1ectively, we get all of what
was asked in the way Of food. But

the joker I ask for certain supplies
