Lend-Leased Farm Machinery
Less than 3 percent of the
United States production of farm
machinery went for Lend-Lease
between March II, 1941, and No
vember 1, 1913, according to the
Presidents thirteenth report to
Congress on Lend-Lease opera
tons. Allied need for farm ma
chinery was increased because of
military demands.\ American
Flying Fortresses now use air
fields which four years ago were
among Britain's best farms, thus
necessitating reclamation of
marshes and rough Hill land for
farm acreages. When Australia
was threatened by japanese in
vasion early in 1912, thousands
of Australian farm tractors were
conscripted for construction of
military roads and airfields.
Moreover, British and Australian
farm machinery manufacturing
facilities early in the war had
been converted to ordnance pro-
duction.

AS further move to stamp out

after a proper hearing and a find
ing that the tire or gasoline reg
ulations have been violated, may
not only revoke a gasoline ra-
ton, but also may prohibit the
use of gasoline in the violator's
possession which was obtained
as part of the ration.
Civilian Meat Supply
About two-thirds (67 percent)
of the United States supplies of
meat available for all needs in
1914 has been allocated to u. S.
civilians, according to the War
Food Administration. This allo-
cation will allow about the same
per capita civilian meat con-
sumption in 1914 as in 1943. On
dressed weight basis, it is
equivalent to approximately 1872
pounds per capita for the year
compared with the pre-war 1885,
80 average of about 126 pounds.
Pork And Beans Released
About 100000 cases (approxi-
mately 20 million pounds) of
canned pork and beans will be
released to civilian consumers
within the next few weeks.
Price Rise In 43 Was Small
At the end of 1913, the general
level of prices in wholesale mar
kets was two percent higher than
at the close of 1912, and the pric-
es of staples that families buy in
retail markets for everyday liv-
ing were up by about three and
one-half percent. This price rise
was smaller than in any year
since 1910, according to Frances
Perkins, Secretary of Labor.

That letter the President
wrote to Democratic National
Chairman Robert E. Hannegan
becomes the most important
document of the campaign, and
it will be argued about from
now till November.
The important part of the let
ter from the Republican point
of view is not the paragraph
that says: IF the convention
dominates me ! shall
accept. II the people elect me,
] will serve"
There was no particular news
in that, for everyone had been
counting on Roosevelt run
ming.
The real kicker in the letter,
and the point the Republicans
will make the most Of, is this:
After many years of public
service, therefore, my personal
thoughts have turned to the day
when l could return to civil life
All that is within me cries out
to 60 back to my home on the
Hudson river, to avoid public
responsibilities, and to avoid
also the publicity which in our
democracy follows every step
of the Nations Chief Execu-
tive.
Such would be my choice
In the curious way that Am
orleans have of trying to :ead
between the lines and read hid
den meanings in words which
are otherwise plain as day, there
will no doubt be an effort on the
part of the Republican spell
binders to say that this is the
important part of the Presi-
dents letter.
