Scandinavia would like to be sure they have
ceased for good-that is to say. the Scandinavian
peoples would like to know what security meas
ures will be formulated at San Francisco to make
sure Germany or any other country will never
again be able to employ such weapons against her
neighbors anywhere in the world.
There are social and economic steps to be taken,
agencies to be created at San Francisco which, in
the long run and in everyday life and existence,
are as important as protection against wanton
and aggressive attack.
Scandinavia would like to have part in such
determinations proportionate to the importance of
her peoples in the economy of Europe, and her
place in trade and shipping the world over
The San Francisco Conference is just getting
started. Ii is too soon to be critical Perhaps the
Scandinavian nations will receive fair treatment

The Whole World MouYned

Press and radio gave his fellow Americans
rather complete picture of the depth of sorrow
the sense Of irreparable loss, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt's death brought to the people of the
United States
However. we at home are scarcely vet conscious
Of the extent to which the great Presidents pass
ing affected other peoples, other nations.
II Is safe to say that never has 9 world leader
been 50 deeply and so sincerely mourned in every
corner Of the earth Probably even in Germany
and japan there are millions who would have
shown sorrow if they had dared to be demonstra-
tive and vocal.
To Us Mr.. Roosevelt W as a chosen political
leader, our Chief Executive; so great was his aba-
ity TO Identify himself with the lowliest of his fell
low citizens that he had come almost to occupy the
position Of personal friend
But 10 the peoples of the world hoping against
hope for better and happier day, he was pro-
tecting knight, a providing father, almost god
We Americans will never be able to comprehend
this feeling IN the hearts of those OF other lands
because We have never felt the terrible urgency of
need which gave TO them hope and faith in the
late President almost spiritual in its intensity and
depth.
And those nations which are not driven by the
desperation Of tragedy and need. yet regarded
Roosevelt IS an inspired leader who would lead
them and their less fortunate neighbors to peace
and better. happier world
These things become more apparent as news
comes 70 Us Of unprecedented acts of homage and
devotion extending from the capitals to the ham,
lets and cottages and cabins and huts of the
world
This great influence, this profound affection
and faith IN which our late President was held
wherever freedoms hope survives, will go on
In this sense Franklin Delano Roosevelt is i'm

fore in the nations history for the first time we
are wondering if with this plethora of funds we
can find all the food we would like to buy.
The answer seems to be definite no" Some
part of the doefu predictions we hear about short
supplies probably is inspired by government au-
thorites to prepare us for shortage more acute
than they really expect But that food supplies
will range from tight to downright short ac-
cordng to commodity, there is no longer doubt
The future with respect to food is filled with
imponderables. Primarily, of course, the amount
we of the United States will be able to buy will
depend Upon supply. This is a trite statement,
but it needs to be understood because supplies
available for the American table are dependent
upon several factors. Weather, for example; and
not only weather here at home but throughout
the worlds food-producing areas Favorable
crop-growing conditions in Europe's liberated
countries will increase the portion of their food
needs produced by themselves, decrease the
amount we would have to supply them otherwise
from our stores.
Also the amount of food Americans will spread
on their own tables will depend upon the generos-
ity of occupation authorities when they dish out
helpings to Europeans who would otherwise be
foodless.
1nlS mas raised question IN government CIR
cles to the size and nature of these helpings
and the number of people to be helped.
Following the war, food will become the most
potent political weapon. The first Allied postwar
effort will be exerted toward the pacification and
reorganization of nations and peoples Frustrated
by years of war.
Food IS great pacificator And breadlines are
the easiest OF human groupings to organize
This being true. we shall probably find it ex-
pedient tf not wholly agreeable) to feed postwar
Germany. at least until the first kraut-harvest
Our commitments have already been made to
these liberated peoples who range from the
friendly to passivey indifferent in their attitudes
toward our efforts to make them democratic and
freedom loving.

drawn from a national storehouse further de-
pleted by poor growing weather in the crop sea-

time 1896

blues at least until our happier repertoire is ex-

The future food situation may turn out to be
not as bad as it looks from here

Food: Don't Worry Too Soon

From Colonial days. Americans have had only
one worry about food This worry concerned
those who were put to 1t TO get their hands on
enough money with which to buy their food needs
from the eountry's ever-bulging storehouses
World War II has changed all this With more
money more generally distributed than ever be.

farmers will be selling later on, ac-
cording to D. j. Davis, superintend-

AS a rule, DAVIS said, growers and
seed dealers tend to wait until just
before seeding time in the spring
before sending in samples for test
ing. AS a result the laboratory is
swamped with tests and those send

to learn results.

dition, the laboratory also does

Mrs. Harwood directed thoughts
backward to the place of the home a

has lost much of its authority and
the home its economics function"
This trend, she believed, is not
quite so strong in rural communities

blamed lack "of enough to do" in the
home for women and the pressure of
