War Board Expected
To Provide Better
Meat Distribution
Nine Members Will Be
Appointed This Week.;
Chicago to Be Base

Creation of the War Meat
Board gave promise today of
more equitable distribution of
the Nations meat supplies and
was seen as another blow at
black market operations in
meat.
The War Food Administration
and the Office of Price Administra-
ton announced establishment of the
board yesterday.
Its nine members-drawn from
the War Department, VIA, OPA
and the meat industry-Will be ap-
pointed early this week, and will
establish headquarters at Chicago,
center of the Nations meat busi-
ness.
The board was set up, officials ex-
planned, to manage distribution of
the country's meat supplies among
civilians, military and lease-lend
customers. The livestock and meat
industry admittedly involves the
most difficult and complex of all
problems encountered thus far in
the war effort, yesterdays announce
ment said.
Some of the problems encountered
in managing the meat industry were
listed in the announcement as fol-
lows:
l. Wide decentralization of the
industry, which adds greatly to
complexities of adequate Govern
ment controls
2. Wide variation. both by seasons
and areas, in the movement Of live
stock to market and the variation
in demand
3. The necessity of moving meat
quickly for consumption because it
is perishable.
4. Black markets, price squeezes
on slaughterers and the difficulty
in producing requirements of the
armed forces and lease-lend and
maldistribution among civilians.
In Chicago, the American Meat
Institute commented:
Announcement of Government
plans quickly to set up War Meat
Board designed to balance the de-
mand for meat with available sup
plies, is a constructive move which
is gratifying to the meat industry
It is our intention to cooperate
with the board in every possible
way"

Form Goals Hove
Not Been Reduced,
Says Official

Montana farm war goals must not
be reduced, by the recent action by
a subcommittee of the House APP
preparations Committee in rejecting
endorsement of incentive payments
on vital war crops, according to r.
j. McKenna, chairman of Montana's
Agricultural War Board. The De-
partment of Agriculture announced
the incentive payments portion of
the farm program in advance of the
actual appropriation, previously au
thorized like other AAA payments
by act of Congress, in order to per-
NIT advance planning by farmers.
In connection with Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard's recent state
ment that the news could mot have
come at a worse time, from the
standpoint of most farmers who are
now completing plans for this years
production" McKenna cautioned
that producers must not allow their
intended production to slump.
State goals" McKenna says,
were increased with national goals
at the time the incentive payment
program was announced. Never-the-
less, the Secretary knows that ma
tional goals cannot be safely re-
duced, and neither can our share of
the load
McKenna points to several rea-
sons given by Wickard. "One," says
Wickard, lis that the action on the
payment is not final and | am hope
full that the increased returns TO
producers necessary for increased
production eventually will be forth
coming Another is that we depend
upon the patriotism of the farmers
to meet the increased goals regard
less of the uncertainties now pre-
vailing. Therefore, | appeal to
farmers not to change their plans
but to increase their production of
vital war commodities to their
limit"
McKenna says that agricultural
officers here had been hopeful of
this portion of the program, since
its intention was to lift portion
of the risk from the shoulders of
many farmers, who are periodically
entering types of highly important
production which are new to the
area and themselves, and which
therefore inevitably involve uncer-
tainties.
Meanwhile, he concludes, farmers
have other means of securing some
form of insurance on such produc-
ton, and reminds that the new type
Of shared risk loan extension
available through county war
boards will be highly valuable to
producers and the nation.
