there are only three real

Therefore. remember the
Anglo-American armies from

the mountain passes. And

FOOD SITUATION

Answering individuals and publ
cations seeking to put the food sitna-

tional food administrator, offered
this brief picture of the present food
situation:
Civilians in the United States are
eating more during this war than
they ever ate before either in war or
in peace; our fighting men, are the
best fed in the world; our patriotic
farmers broke all production records
in 1941, broke that record in 1912,
will break the 1943 record this year
in spite of floods and droughts, and
have adopted 1914 program which
the farmers had been organized for
war by the Agricultural Adjustment
Agency better than any other pro-
duction group, and the AAA and Soil
Conservation Service have increased
the yield per acre by 20 percent over
the average for the 20 years prior
to 1888 and are continuing to build
the soil fertility during this period
of about food production.

STATES PURCHASED 500, 600, 900

IN BONDS

Governor Herbert r. O'Conor,
President of the Council of State
Governments, made known that more
than $70O,000,000 of Government
Bonds have been purchased by State
and Local Governments since Janu-
airy 1.
Furthermore, Governor O'Conor
declared, prospects are that the total
purchases of Government Bonds for
the year will exceed 81 700.
The dual purpose in such concen-
trated investment, the Governor
pointed out, was primarily to help
finance the war effort and secondly,
too provide a cushion against the
shock of postwar economic recon
struction.
Governor O'Conor, who also is
National Chairman of the Interstate
Committee on Postwar Reconstruc-
ton and Development, declared that
the funds were invested "as part OF
an overall program of the States
to put their fiscal houses in order
to do real job in developing and
carrying out a reconstruction and
development program for the post
war period"
