Canada 'sWheat, Meal
Considered Key 10
Food Relief Problems
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Canada's wheat and meat
stood out today as uncertainties
in how the United Nations will
divide available food this year.
In general, the picture as present.
ed to the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee shows food enough of one
kind or another for everybody de-
spite serious shortages of meat, fats
and oils, dairy products, sugar and
rice.
1t. Col. R. w. Olmstead told the
committee one of the unsettled
problems is the question of "hnanc-
ing of Canadian wheat for relief
purposes"
Col Olmstead, chairman of the
War Food Administrators Alloca-
tions Committee, said Canada has
no appropriation to permit military
forces to extend relief to civilians of
liberated countries. The American
forces have such provision and 214,-
100000 bushels of wheat for relief,
chiefly by the military, have been
entered against" this country s
stocks.
Wheat Supplies Ample.
Col Olmstead said he understood
the United Kingdom has set aside
funds for that purpose but noted
that virtually all the wheat which
has been sent to England has gone
from Canada. The Canadians make
such shipments without charge un-
der their lease-lend arrangement.
Wheat supplies, he told the COM
mittee, are more than ample, but
current needs abroad are not being
met because Of internal transporta-
ton difficulties and inadequate mill
ing facilities in this country. Both
Canadian and Argentine wheat will
have to be used If the United Ma
tions are to meet essential wheat
requirements for the feeding of
liberated areas" he said.
Col. Olmstead added his descrip-
ton of the wheat situation yester-
day to data he gave the committee
earlier on other foods. In talking Of
meat, he had said that discus
sions are continuing in an effort tc
reach agreement concerning utili-
zation Of the supplies expected tc
be available"
ALLEGATION to Drop.
Col. Olmstead indicated that sc
far as he is concerned the chief
question is Canadian meat. He said
"a reduction from the 1914 Level
is expected in Canada" That level
was 1864 pounds per capita COM
pared with lat in the United States
The United States ALLEGATION fol
civilians currently is 1858 pounds
but Col. Olmstead said it would DROP
later on.
With addition of the wheat data
the committee decided to recess its
hearings until next week with the
time for a resumption left to Chair
man Thomas of Oklahoma. The
field to be explored next has not
been determined.
The special House Food Commit
tee, meanwhile, planned to meet to-
day with War Mobilization Director
Vinson. Also scheduled to attend
the White House session are repre-
sentatives of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, VIA and Foreign Eco
nomic Administration.
