Margarine VS.. Butter Battle
Holds OOd-FrOnt Spotlight

BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Food and Markets Editor

Margarine, the science of nutri-
ton ard the dairy interests are en-
gagged in a Mad Halter fight these
days. And only Americas war needs
can dictate a truce.
The governments wartime nutri-
tional drive urges everyone to eat
butter or fortified margarine daily.
Our leading nutritionists and medi-
cal groups classify margarine, with
vitamin A added, as the nutritional
equivalent of butter. Nevertheless as
recently as June, 1941, the magazine
Dairy Record was declaring: The
dairy industry must set as its goal
the complete determination of oleo-
margarine. 1t must never rest until
the manufacture and sale of mar
garine have been outlawed in this
country
In March of this year, the Chill
dren's Bureau. Department of La
Dor issued a booklet called THE
Road to Good Nutrition" recogniz-
ing that parents, teachers and 9TH
ers have a special problem in war
time to keep up the health of chill
dren despite shortages DR.. Lydia j.
Roberts, who wrote the book in COL
liberation with the Children'S Bu-
reau staff, says that children over
one year should get three servings
daily of butter or of oleomargarine
with added vitamin A. But the legis-
lators of South Dakota feel that
state rights come before the rights
of children in lower income groups
They passed a law this year requir-
ing all consumers of margarine
made outside the state to pay q IL
cense fee of $1.O0 Sort of a pol tax
on health.
RESTRICTION SQUELCHED
The War Food Administration
has acknowledged margarine as a
necessity of our war diet. That
seems to be quite different opinion
than that held by Rep. A. H. An
dresen of Minnesota On April 7th,
he introduced an amendment to the
appropriations bill for the Depart
ment of Commerce which would
prohibit "promotional activities, in
quiries or Investigations in connec-
ton with oleomargarine or other
pretended substitutes for dairy
products" The Senate, however,
was not interested.
Mr.. Andersen had been urged by
Department of Commerce bulletin
stating that because margarine is
used more widely among families of
low income, taxes on it fall most
heavily on those least able to pay.
Margarine, 80 per cent of which is
now fortified with vitamin A, costs
about half as much as butter, and
four ration points less than butter.
There isn't enough butter today
for our Armed Forces. Lend-Lease
and home front needs, as every slice
of bread knows. Margarine is the
nutritional equivalent of butter, no
matter what you think of its taste.
Yet attempts to remove license fees
or excise taxes this year from this
needed alternative to butter were
either defeated or tabled in Con-
necticut. Nebraska, Pennsylvania,
wyoming, Vermont and Washington.

of l3 per cent.
II would inaugurate a 20 per

according TO the treasury, would

all Of their 1912 taxes. The oro-
portion of taxes forgiven would de-
crease as income increases.
The amount forgiven would be
credited against 1913 taxes. Those
whose 1912 taxes are only partly
forgiven would thus be partly on
a current basis. The balance they
would pay year after income IS

Bio Red Offensive
Toward Poland
or in South Near
BY LOUIS T. kEtMLE
TnIted Press War AnASsi

THE PROMISE Of a major
Russian offensive on the Eastern
European front this summer is
implicit in the May Day order
OF Premier Stain.
After referring 10 blows which
the Red army has struck a. the
Axis. Stain said
"A new blow il approaching
when the Red army. together
with the armies Of our Miles,
will break the backbone of the
Fascist beast"
This Russian offensive could
come in the north, through The
Baltic states. in the center,
towards Poland or in the south.
The last appears most feasible.
IT Is obvious that a junction
OF the Russian with the other
Allied forces could be brought
about most effectively IN the
Balkans.
II would be natural. then for
Stain 10 bring his main pressure
70 bear in the same direction. The
Russian drive into the Ukraine.
after the smashing victory OF
Stalingrsd, was halted mainly by
the early breakup Of winter and
IL is not impossible that il may
be resumed in full force
Military observers in this con-
nection. are keepinG"a close eye
on a section farther south. which
is the Black Sea region from the
mouth Of the Don 10 the north
western Caucasus.
The Russians drove the Ger
mans beyond Rostov and are in
a good position for a drive along
the Sea OF Azov At the same
time. there is potential battle
field of the greatest Importance
in the Kuban area of the north
western Caucasus where the
Axis hold on the NovoroSSiSk
naval base is weakening.
FOR SOME reason. although
they were routed on the lower
Don. the Germans chung stub
bornly TO a small pocket north
and south of the Kuban River
opposite the Crimea. II has been
popularity supposed that the Ger
mans intended il as the spear
head of another summer drive
towards the Caucasus oil fields.
On the contrary. il may have
been a calculated attempt 10
protect the flank of the Crimea.
Driven from that peninsula, the
Germans would be exposed to a
smashing Russian drive towards
Bessarabia, Rumania and Bull
garia.
Such drive would coincide
with an Allied move in the Bal
kans, perhaps with the co-opera-
ton of Turkey and would pave
the way for a march up the
Danube valley towards the heart
of Germany.
