Thut Food Report

Secretary Wickard has taken the
sensible course in making public
summary of fifty-page food report
which is something less than fiat
tering in its comments on our ham
ding of the national food supply.
The report was intended to be
confidential, but after a copy had
been made available to a CORE
spondent of the New York Times, Mr..
Wickard decided to release the sum-
mary and to open the full report for
inspection by reporters. This will
have the desirable effect of assuring
the public that the report is not now
being suppressed because of its criti-
cal tone.
Less reassuring, however, is the
attitude which is being taken toward
the recommendations of the report.
The document was prepared by a
subcommittee of the Food Advisory
Committee at the direction of Mr..
Wickard, who instructed the group
ards to be used in the ALLEGATION of
United States food supplies among
the various claimants. But the sub
committee went beyond this limita-
ton to prepare a report covering
the reasons for some of the failures
in our food program and offering a
number of suggestions for correcting
these failures 1t also submitted
suggestions as to how the food prob
lem generally should be handled.
This was not pleasing to Mr.. Wick
ard and he has administered verbal
spanking to the subcommittee. And
he also has indicated that no official
attention will be paid to those OF
the subcommittee recommendations
which 60 beyond the scope of its
original assignment.
It is this attitude which is some
thing less than reassuring, for some
of the groups proposals have vital
bearing on the quantities and kinds
of food that will be available for
civilian consumption in this country,
for our armed forces. and to meet
our commitments abroad.
For instance, the subcommittee
suggested, with emphasis, that Amer
lean civilian food needs should not
be considered as left-overs to be
satisfied after all other claims are
met. 1t also advanced the politically
shocking declaration that "the great
est obstacle to realistic war food
program is rigid adherence to the
parity formula, not because the gen.
eral farm price level is too high, but
because of the relationships between
prices which the parity formula
maintains"
The report further warned that the
United States has never been and
cannot become the food basket" Of
the United Nations, and suggested
that surplus cobwebs have got to be
brushed from many an official brain
on the subject of food"
The summary made public by Mr..
Wickard wound up with this excerpt
from the report: "These two key
stones of public understanding (be-
lief in the necessity of food sacrifices
and the conviction that they are be-
ing shared equally are not to be
achieved merely through official
propaganda. The need is not for
shiny slogans, but for the Govern
ment to take the public into it's con-
fidence and tell the whole truth
promptly and effectively"
It is interesting to reflect that If
the report had not leaked out" in
the first instance, not even this much
would have been made available to
the public.

Politics as Usual

War Mobilization Director Byrnes,
IN his radio address, made a plea
that the minds of the people be not
diverted from the war to politics.
The election, he pointed out, does
not come until the fall of next year.
He urged that political discussion be
postponed until then. It is easy to
agree with Mr.. Byrnes that this
would be a satisfactory course to
pursue, certainly until next spring,
when the primary elections for dele
gates to the national party conven-
tions must be held.
In measure, however, it is idle
to talk of adjourning politics. even
until that time. In the first place,
whether with the Presidents consent
or not, the administrations political
scouts are on the move. Those
Democrats who are desirous of re-
nominating the President are leaving
no stones unturned, even at this
early date, to make sure that he is
to be the party choice. Only a day
or two ago Postmaster General
Walker, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, reported to the
President himself on conditions" as
he found them in a recent tour of
Illinois, Minnesota, North Dakota
and Montana. What those condi-
tions were he did not announce pub
licly. He said that his trip was on
postal business and that political
matters were only incidental" 1t
does not seem likely, however, that
he would report to the President on
postal affairs in the four States men
toned
This is not the first swing through
the country that Mr. Walker has
made. also on postal business, but
during which Democratic political
leaders have had an opportunity to
see him. Nor willeit be the last. The
Postmaster General insists that it is
too early to talk presidential candi-
dates. Presumably this means pub
licly Also, the politicos in and around
the White House take a great interest
in the activities of former Democratic
National Chairman Jim" Farley,
who, like Mr.. Walker, does good
deal of travelling. So politics wags
it's way.
The Republicans have an entirely
different problem on their hands from
that of the Democrats. They have still
to center upon a presidential nomi-
nee. With the woods more or less
full of possibilities" each with his
adherents, it is only natural that
Republican politics should be on the
march. And they are. The various
COP aspirants for the presidency
have their scouts out. too, sounding
sentiment and, where they are able,
lining up prospective delegates to
the partys national convention,
which will not meet until next sum-
mer.
Another example Of the political
interest today is the effort which the
Democrats-witht the Presidents ap-
proval it is said-are seeking to bring
about an election of lieutenant
governor of New York to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of the late
1t. Gov. Wallace. The Democrats
are hopeful that in such an election
next November they may be able to
turn the tables on the Republicans
and so show that the New Deal party
is still strong in the Presidents own

Peace Plea Reported
Greeted With Cheers

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Budapest
press dispatches to Switzerland and
Sweden reported to the Off1ce OF
War Information today said that
a demand in the Hungarian Parlia-
ment that Hungary. Immediately
withdraw her troops from the Rus
sian front was greeted with applause
and cheers.
A dispatch to the Swedish news
paper Stockholms- -Tidningen de-
scribed the incident as Hungary's
biggest sensation since the out
break of the war"
The demand was made, the Swed-
ish dispatch said, by Bajcsy Zsil-
incky, who was identified by the
Swiss Telegraph Agency as the
spokesman in parliament for the
small farmers independent party
His demands were said to have been
made during a debate on the foreign
ministry budget.
ZSilincky was quoted in the Swed-
ish dispatch as saying Hungary had
been drawn into the war illegally
since the consent of Parliament had
not been obtained, and as asserting
that "the Axis no longer exists"
He also said Hungarian foreign
policy should be primarily inspired
by national interests" and demanded
court trials for the men responsible
for getting Hungarian troops in the
war.
The Hungarian news agency, MTI,
in a wireless dispatch reported by
United States monitors, said Hun
garian troops still are in Russia,
but added that they have been used
merely for security duties in oc-
cupied territories and are not in the
front lines.
