Seed Being Rushed to Europe,

livestock feed supply, is considered
urgent. The tonnages shipped and
distributed to date reflect this pri-
GRITTY. Seeds dispatched for 1945
spring planting were largely beans
and peas from Canada and the Unit
ed States, and other vegetable seeds
from the United States and the Unit
ed Kingdom. Food grown from
these seeds is now furnishing some
of the protective elements so badly
needed in the diets of most of the
people of the world today.
Some of the seed distributions in
the liberated countries were car
ried on jointly by UNRRA and the
military. As the military govern
ments withdrew the remaining seed
stocks were turned over to UNRRA.
Seeds from this source were dis
tributed in the Balkans. Some of
the seed held for UNRRA in the U. S.
for use last spring in case of an
earlier We Day were then chan
neled into the domestic market.
For instance, vegetable seeds to
replant the irrigated truck lands
near the city areas in Greece were
first made available through mill
tary supplies and later through
UNRRA shipments. Vegetable and
root crop seeds from plants grown
in England were shipped this spring
to Czechoslovakia. Root crop seeds
were included with the first UNRRA
cargoes for Poland.
Surplus Stocks Distributed.
One objective of the UNRRA seed
program is to re-establish a flow of
seeds within Europe from surplus
pockets to areas of need. Military
authorities found that Germany had
been stimulating seed production in
some of the occupied countries.
Where crops were not destroyed
these reserves are now made gen.
orally available.
Seeds of French origin are going
to Holland and Belgium. Danish
seeds may flow across Danish from
tiers. Italy may have surplus of
seeds which can be routed to other
countries. Seed potatoes from Cy-
prus have been sent to Greece. A
small portion of the crops raised
from the 1915 shipments of seed is
being set aside to produce the seed
for next years planting.
The breakdown of interior trans
portation in the liberated countries
as result of German occupation is
compicating factor in the seed
situation as it is in nearly every
other relief and rehabilitation pro-
gram. Every seedman who has led
the fight in his own community for
better farm to market roads can un-
derstand the situation. Roads and
waterways have been bombed. Civil
ian motor vehicles have disappeared,
carts have been wrecked and draft
animals have been stolen and
slaughtered. Much of this was de-
liberate sabotage on the part of the
retreating Nazis. Even when there

BY MAX HALL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 Up
- President Roosevelt sent to
Congress today an 83-billion-
dollar budget that might swing
more than 10 billion dollars up
or down.
1t all depends on the war -
and the President refused to pre-
dict when the shooting will stop
in Europe or anywhere else.
my only prediction" he told
Congress, sis that our enemies
will be totally defeated before
we lay down our arms"
At a moment when fighting
all over the globe reaches a eli
max of fury" Mr.. Roosevelt sent
up his annual budget message
for the fiscal year 1916 which
starts next July /.
II BILLION CUT
In it, he estimated total gov
government spending at 83 bill
lions. That would be the lowest
in three years. It's nearly II
billion below record spend
ing of 100 billion in the fiscal
year 1945 which is now half
over.
He hased the 83-billion figure
on a guess that the war wall re-
quire 70 billion dollars. The 9TH
err 10 billions are for:
1. Ordinary government ex-
penses. Those would be reduced
from S3,502, 900, 900 to $3,266,-
100000, which he called "rock-
bottom"
2. Three large items which are
growing fast - benefits to vet
Grams, interest on the public
debt, and refunds to taxpayers.
Mr.. Roosevelt said estimates
for 1946 war costs have ranged
from less than so billions to
more than 80 billions - de-
pending on various war posi-
bilities.
He hit upon 20 billions as a
tentative" figure, but "the rate
of actual spending must depend
on developments on the battle
fronts"
War costs in the present fis-
cal year are about 80 billion dol
lars.
