Brittany apparently had done all
right for food. I drove several hun

and saw no signs of malnutrition.
Children were plump and house.
wives still were carting those huge
French loaves around as If 1t was
no problem And they were not
averse to selling little cheese or
butter.
1t must be remembered, OF course,
that other parts of France are not
so rich in food as Normandy.
saw some hungry Frenchmen In
Paris under the occupation as far
back as 1941.
Stories of food and clothing
shortages in Europe have already
begun to assume depressing levels
in England, for Englishmen feel
that many of the first ships freed
from war duties will start supply
ing continental Europe instead Of
bringing relief for the sound but
monotonous English war diet.
But also there is a full realiza-
ton here that England must get
back to exporting They know from
long tradition that England can't
eat its way back to prosperity.

on short supply That's knot the
United Nations Trade Conference
will have to unite.
The world trade alliance" an
other British organization, suggests
that world markets 'be deliberately
parceled out by agreement"
That could mean, depending on
supplies, that American oil produc-
ers would be told they could sell only
in the Western Hemisphere, but
neither could the British nor Rus
slams sell to Brazil. This is likely to
bring the non-oil producing nations
up, rarin'. at the United Nations
conference.
This talk brings a big headache
in Washington, because this Nation
dislikes such trade agreements so
much it wrote the Sherman Anti
trust Act to keep prices down by
competition.
There are unofficial suggestions
IN Washington that if this country
must enter some control agreements,
there must be also controls on con-
trolls: that all such agreements
private or governmental, should be
registered with the Government and
given full publicity, as against the
practice OF private prewar cartels;
that, on boards controlling commod-
tiles, both Government and con-
sumer should be represented, as
we'll as producers, in order to keep
prices within bounds.

LONDON.-England enters the
sixth year of war better fed than
her principal enemy, Germany. but
not so we'll fed as that part of
France which was freed in the first
weeks of invasion.
People here are thoroughly tired
of fighting and saving and being
calm in the face of it ALL" and if
the European war isn't finished by
Christmas there will be great dis
appointment, although they realize
that cold and hungry Europe may
absorb lot of food and clothing
wanted here, and for that and other
reasons restrictions here will con-
tinue for some time.
But tired as she is, England is
allowing no grass to grow on her
conference chairs as she prepares
to continue her big role.
That is the way it appears to me
after more than four years on both
sides of the war, as we'll as in the
in Turkey y where both
sides could be watched at once.
England's rationing system is full
of well-designed loopholes to ease
the feeling of desperation that
comes when ration tickets are about
and new ones still far off.

democracy in action against poverty,
hardship and suffering. We must
demonstrate that we are not mere
ly defending, but are actually ad-
vancing the cause millions Of our
men are fighting for. We must
show that we are worthy of the re-
sponsibilities in meeting the new
problems which we face in the crit
ical days ahead.
We must concentrate on organiz-
ing the unorganized and improving
their terms and working conditions
as wage earners. We must concen-
trate on economic functions and
seek government action only to the
extent necessary to protect basic
standards. We should oppose any
unnecessary Government interfer-
ence with labor and industry. We
should seek maximum self-govern-
ment by the democratically chosen
representatives Of labor and indus
try, independent Of our political in
stitutions. We should be non-
partisan, but aggressive in support
ing our proven friends and defeat
ing our proven enemies In legisla-
tive and executive branches on the
basis Of their records on basic labor

Germans have to give up ration
tickets in restaurants for every bit
of bread, meat, butter or cheese
served. In England restaurants re-
quire no tickets, so a man can eat
to his hearts content If his money
holds out. And in these days when
everybody works who can work,
there is often money for restaurant
eating.
There Is no lack of bread, some
shortage of butter. rarely an egg,
scanty meat rations, but the thing
they miss most is fresh fruit. 1t is
genuinely scarce and what is avail
able costs kings ransom, small
peaches here cost dollar each.
But fruit waS-and is-scarce in
Germany. Even scarcer, perhaps,
was cheese, which almost never ap-
peared. 1t is not hard to find in
England, although there is no flood
Germans Still are allowed about
two-thirds of pound of meat
weekly, where the English are con-
fined to Is cents worth. That will
get mighty little, but nonrationed
items, such as chicken, rabbit and
game, show up more often here now
than they did in Germany in her
days of early victory. when Ameri-
cans could still go there.
But the surprise of the invading
