A detailed analysis of the worlds

present food-producing resources

says the National Planning associa-

left over to feed another one hum

The report, ''World Needs for U. 8.

Home production must and can be
expanded to meet the needs Of the
United Nations, the armed forces,
our own civilians. and to aid starv-
ing countries, the report contends.
But even with greatly expanded pro-
duction, 1t holds out little hope for an
end to all rationing for a year or
even two years after the war.
"A highly efficient, low cost, bal
anced human diet can be compound
ed from whole wheat, potatoes, peas
and beans, whole milk, vegetable oils

reasonable statement Of food needs

Strangely enough, America, near
er to Europe by the racial ties Of q
great part Of its citizenry, Is even
closer to Europe's culture than the
residents Of the tight little British
Isles themselves. Yet Americas ig.
norance Of Europe's real needs and
thoughts is vast compared to that
Of England's statesmen. But Amer
lea does seem to understand the Far
East, can sympathize with It, and
once America assumes the position
to which her mighty power gives her
the right, she can be the real In.
terpreter between the East and the
West. And lacking an interpreter,
the East can only become q great
potential enemy, protagonist Of ra.
cial hatreds and racial wars.
America won her spurs at Moscow

can wear them with the honor she
loves, with the power she has.

do not pretend to say that Sec
rotary Hull was solely responsible

In fact, only time will tell how last

the firm conviction of even the skep-
teal In Washington that it was the

unwavering determination of this
hardy son Of Tennessee that broke
down the barriers Of suspicion and

for Russia to march solidly shoulder

that the three would face the peace

they assayed us as a still more or

without much thought, would dance
to the British tune. And Britain they
distrusted.
They know now that America had
the breadth Of view and the acumen
