largest farm planting in history and
should result in the breaking Of
food production records for the
eighth successive year
The War Food Administratio
with my approval, has requested
the Congress to extend the life OF
the Commodity Credit Corp. and
to furnish additional funds I re-
gard this as vital to the war food
program. 1t will also enable us 10
carry out our pledge to the farmers
that We will assure them against a
price collapse for the two years fol-
lowing the war
OF course. the goals set by the
War Food Administration will be
meaningless unless the farmers
themselves are willing to adopt
them as their own goals, and are
able to fulfill them Therefore, the
War Food Administration is dis
CuSsing the national needs with the
State War Board of each State. and
with representative farmer groups
and leaders and public officials in

In this way determination will be
made by consultation with the farm
erS themselves and with Federal
and State officials as to what parts
of the national requirements can be
contributed by each State.
The county war boards and local
committees of farmers will also be
consulted as to how the State quotas
should be apportioned among the
various counties of the respective
States.
States to Be Consulted.
The State and local people will
also be consulted about the extent
of Government support prices and
Government loans and Government
purchases that will be necessary to
attain the goals of production set.
In other words, the farm program
of production and prices for 1914 is
going to be formulated finally, only
after consultation with the farmers
of the Nation and those who are
interested in farming. Upon the
basis of this collective Judgment the
final goals for the years production
will be formulated we'll in advance
of the production season, so that
each farmer may know what to
count upon
In order to obtain the great pro-
duction level of l943, it was neceS-
s2ry to assure the farmers that their
return would be sufficiently high TO
encourage them to plant and at
the same time it was necessary TO
insure the consumer against prices
for food whicn would be too high for
him to purchase This could be
done only with the use of Govern
ment funds. and in order to bring
about the proposed increased pro-
duction for 1914 it will be necessary
to use additional Government funds.
All of the restrictions on acreage
which were imposed by the AAA
program in former years have been
removed for 1914 as they were for
1943 with few exceptions. Only to-
bacco marketing quotas will be
maintained-in order to encourage
tobacco farmers to put more of
their land into food products.
There are some people who, for
political reasons, now maintain that
these early acreage restrictions
which were put into effect in 1888
and 'subsequent years are partially
responsible for the present shortage!

and the shipment of pork 10 Eng
land from the United States is a
good example Of sharing among the
United Nations. on the basis Of what
each has to contribute to total war.
Most of the food for the American
armed forces in the South and
Southwest Pacific comes from the
land and factories OF that area In
order 10 provide for our troops, Aus
trala and New Zealand have ex-
panded their food production and
processing facilities. Despite this.
however. the large food require
ments Of our forces have caused
shortages of many foods for the
Australians and New Zealanders.
Nevertheless, these two countries
continue to supply our food require
ments as reverse lend-lease without
payment by us.
A certain small percentage of food
will have to be used AS the United
Nations llberate presently occupied
countries. until such time as the
populations of these countries can

porting.
For example. a very small per-
centage of our food now goes to
feed the liberated people of North
Africa and Sicily and Italy This
includes only the bare necessities
OF life. Feeding people in this area
is not only military necessity. it
provides strength for the hard work
that has to be done BY them in
order to produce new supplies of
food and other goods. Already The
people of French Africa, with some
assistance from us in expanding
their agricultural production. have
been able to produce a sufficiently
good harvest in l943 SO that thev
can now even supply food to cur
, forces there. This not only saves
shipping, but augments our own
food supply. The people of French
Africa, without payment and under
reverse lease-lend arrangements,
have also supplied the Allied forces
with substantial quantities of flour
for use in the Italian campaign.
This, too, has helped our food, as
we'll as our shipping, situation.
Agreements have just been con-
cluded to provide the United Ma
tions with more than 100000 tons
of fruit and vegetables. The 1914
harVeSts in North Africa, aided by
American agricultural supplies and
a year of peaceful cultivation, should
ease the strain on the food supply
/ Of the United States still further
In North Africa, we and the other
United Nations have truly beaten
our swords into plowshareS.
/ Food supplied to the liberated
peoples also pays other dividends

those starving people whose coun-
tries are still overrun by the AXIS
While starvation has been the
weapon used by the Axis, resulting
in disease, misery and death, the
/ United Nations are using food as
one of their most potent weapons
to shorten the war and win last
ing peace.
The War Food Administrator has
accordingly raised its sights for
1914. A preliminary calculation calls
for th6 planting of 38O000,00O acres

was lost. Emergency food ship
mcntS were sent from Great Britain
and the Middle East. but we also
had to step uD our own shipments
! am sure that no one will disagree
with the Wisdom-to say nothing Of
the need and obligatlOn-of sustain
ing the gallant Russian fighters with
American food
The fact is that with all our ship
ments. civilian diets in England and
in Russia particularly in Russia
are far below our worst shortage pc
riods In fact, in Russia food for
civilians has been cut to the barest
minimum.
Through lend-leaSe. the United
States seeks to put share of its
food resources to the most effective
use against the enemy. Conversely
through reverse lend-leaSe, the
striking power OF our own armed
forces abroad has been greatly aug
mented by substantial quantities OF
food provided by our Allies. The
United Kingdom. Australia anG
New Zealand have provided the
largest amount of food, but we have
also received food under reverse
lend-leaSe from other parts of the
British Empire and are receiving
increasing quantities of foodstuffS
from the French in North Africa.
Some illustrative figures may in
dlcate the importance to our war
effort and to our national economy
our Allies as reverse lend-lease aid
without payment.
Although we did not start receiv-
ing food under reverse lend-lease
from Australia and New Zealand
until a year or more after our lend
lease program started, the amounts
recelVed-ln comparison to what We
have d-leased-are relatively
large.
Thus, for example, through Au-
gust of this year. the United States
has received from Australia and New
Zealand more than 90000,OOC
pounds of beef and veal. compared
to a total Of 100000 pounds of
beef and veal which the United
States has provided under outgoing
lend-lease to all lend-lease coun-
tries combined. In July and Au-
gust, l943, Australia and New Zea
land supplied us roughly the same
amount of beef and veal under re-
verse lend-lease as we lend-leaSeo
to all countries.
We have received from Australia
and New Zealand alone, 55 per cent
of the amount of butter and l6 pei
cent of the amount of lamb anc
mutton which we have exported un-
der lend-lease to all countries.
During the year l943, the United
Kingdom is providing under reverse
lend-lease substantial quantities O.
many foodstuffs-such as flour
bread, potatoes, sugar, vegetables
coffee and cocoa-in order to sup.
plement the food our forces receive
from the United States. The food.
stuffs received from the Unitec
Kingdom under reverse lend-least

At the end Of this year the cStl-
mated strength Will be so per cent
higher. That is the reason why in
1912 approximately only =. per
cent of our food production was
allotted to our armed forces where
as in l943 the figure will be about IA
per cent. AS our Army grows. As
food reserves will have to be aC-
cumulated. and civilian belts Will
have to be tightened Furthermore
our armed forces require more OF
the So called "protectlVe2 foods such
as meat. fats and oils, milk and
canned goodS-foods which are,
therefore. bound to run short for
the increased civilian demands.
Our armed forces are now eating
in each month $4,000 900 pounds of
meat. "a 900 900 dozens of eggs, 23-
100000 pounds of butter. 22l 900 900
pounds of potatoes-and staggering
amounts of other foodstuffS. And
the quality Of this food is the best
that we can give them
The armed forces of our Allies
will also increase in 1914 and they
will have to receive food assistance
from us.
Lease Lend Increasing.
The amount OF food going to lend
lease is gradually increasing. In
i94l it was 2 per cent of our food
production; in 1912, Approximately
per cent. This year because Of
other needs it will probably reach
10 per cent. In l94l and 1912 Eng
land was the largest recipient of
lend-lease food, but owing to the
German invasion of the Ukraine in
1912 more food has had to be sent
since then to the Soviet Union. In
fact, Russia, in the first six months
of 1943. received one-third of all
our lendlease food Shipments
All these war uses will require
about one-fOurth of our total food
supply for the year beginning Oc-
tober l, l943, leaving about three
fourths for our civilian population
This three -fourths. however, be-
cause Of our increased production
will amount approximately to as
much, per capita, as was used dur
ing the 1851 1889 period
/ I am sure that the American peo-
pie realize that every pound of food
which we send to our fighting
Allies is helping our own soldiers ir
their battles and is speeding the
day when all our fighting men anc
women will come home.
The food that Is sent to Russia
is almost all for the use of the
Russian Army.

Our food plans for the future are.
of course predicated on the asSump-
ton that we must not only continue
our shipments overseas. but ac-
tuaIly increase them The war is
by no means Won and the global
effort must be continued and ac-
celerated. The requirements for our
armed forces will be increased. not
only because they will have a larger
number of men and women than in
l943. but because more of them will
be stationed in distant parts of
the world.
The average soldier or sailor eats
approximately five and one-Guartcl
pounds of food per day-almoSt
half as much again as the average
/ civilian, who eats only three and
three quarters pounds per day. The
/ greater the number of men in the
armed forces, the larger are the
/ demands on our food supply.
In the last war we fed 1000. .0OC
people in uniform-largely concen-
trated in the United States and in
France. In this war by the end of
l943 we will have almost II 100000
men in uniform. and they will be
scattered in al parts of the world
At the beeinLne of this year our
armed forces totaled about 1000. 900,

 Heat Exhaustion And Sunstroke Require Immediate Treatment

feleVeQ.
 Heatstroke is usually an emer- gency and obviously one because the onset is abrupt, with loss of con- Sciousness and complete breakdown of the mechanism controlling body temperature Fever may reach very high levels. This condition calls for prompt removal of the victim to a hospital and professional care. In the meantime, cold sprays, sponges, and ice-packs should be applied. Heavy muscular eXertion in a hot, humid place provides the back ground for heat cramps. This state is characterized by painful cramps or spasms involving various groups of muscles - in the eXtremitieS, in the abdominal wall, along the in testinal tract, etc. They may be re- lieved by rest and replacing the salt and water lost from the body in profuse perspiration. Most indus tries provide salt solution at regular ] intervals for workers who must la bor in an excessively hot place.
 PREVENT OVERHEATING
 The most effective ways to pre- vent the unhappy aftermath of over heating are: a light, simple diet; avoidance of exertion, plenty of wa ter to drink. light, airy clothing; protection from the direct rays of j the sun. a proper circulation of the air to assist in the evaporation of sweat from the skin, and an ade- quate intake of salt to replace that ] lost ia sweat.

 He continued to explain in the following outline what the American citizens should continue to demand in the proposed treaties if they wished to see the democratic way of life survive:
 l. Should condemn recourse to war for the solution of internation- al controversies and renounce war as an instrument of national policy in the relations of all nations to one another:

The human body is capable of functioning well in many eXtrem- ities of environment but there are occasions when it must meet too severe a test. In very hot weather, for example or in the presence of work carried on in hot places like engine rooms, laundrieS, and kitch- ems, especially where the humidity or amount of moisture in the air is high, the body may become not only very uncomfortable, but even painfully and seriously affected. In the main, one may say that eX- cessive heat may produce three physical conditions: heat exhaustion heatstroke or sunstroke, and heat cramps.
 RELIEVE EXHAUSTION
 These states are closely related, and there is no really clear line of demarcation between heat eXhaus- ton and heatstroke. Heat eXhauS- tion, as is implied in the term, sug- geSt weakness, dizziness, and leth- argy, resulting from too long eX- posture to too much heat. It is inn portant in that further exposure may produce the even more serious heatstroke. It may be relieved by rest in a cool place, cool sponge baths, and by swallowing two tea spoonfulS of sugar and one-hali teaspoonful of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in two ounces of water every hour until the exhauStiou u

A Break=at Long Last

Although sale of combination packages of ice cream and sherbet is allowed, retailers may not re quire purchasers to buy sherbet in order to get ice cream, according to a ruling announced by the OPA, which has continually con- demned the illegal practice of forcing sales. When available, the product must be sold individ- ually without any conditions made to the sale, according to the rul- ing. The combination package, however, is expected to continue in use due to the shortage of ice cream.
 Combination of ice cream and sherbet have been sold almost exclusively in many stores for sev- eral weeks at the same price pre- viously demanded for ice cream -eXcluSiVely.
