Rising From Food Shortage

While Americans may have to
tighten their belts this coming win
ter, there is no danger of any one

least" Senator Aiken declared yes

Club at the Kenesaw Apartments,
the Senator, who is a member of
the Senate Food Committee, said
Americans will have enough to eat
even though it may not be the kind
of food they wish.
we will have to change our diets
and eat what we can get rather
than what we wish we could have"
he asserted.
The speaker declared that the
meat shortage is due to "consid-
erably demoralized distribution sys-
tenn" and that In spite of sending
80 per cent of our meat to the
armed forces, there are more cat
tie on the range today than ever
before
With a record of $1,000 900 cat
tie in the year 1941, Senator Aiken
said there should be about SO 900 600

time when lack of manpower Is

and fruits.
The United States must be ready
to help feed the nations of the
world following the war and see
that there is an equal distribution
of food, the Senator continued
"Overpopulated countries with not
enough food are always a menace
to the world, and a country devoid
of food will always start a war;"
he added
In spite of present shortages and
future responsibilities, Senator Aiken
declared that many advantages
would result from the denials of
today.
