Stricken Europe Needs
Large Imports Of Food
Never Able to Raise Enough Fare for Its
Teening Masses, Old Worlds Demands
Aggravated by Ravages Of War.
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,Us analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, 1916 Eye Street, NV,
Washington, D. C.
I've just come up from the barn
yard of a Maryland farm. In the
barn was comfortable crop of hay
and wheat, outside a herd Of fat
Guernseys of all ages from a two
weeks old calf up. Most of the
chickens were already cooling them
selves in locker. There was only
one thing for the farmer to COM
plain about. and the hogs got a
break out of that-the oats.
"Just too wet this year," he said.
For fear it would set the barn
afire, if he stored it in that condi-
ton, the farmer explained that he
"had to dump it" and a batch Of
shoats were leaping around in the
spoiled grain like jack-rabbits. Most
of the farmers hereabouts lost their
oats, too.
All week in Washington, I'd been
reading, talking and thinking about
farm products along with our other
reconversion problems. We, in the
United States, are going to get only
about three-quarters Of what we
raise this year, according to unoffi-
cial estimates. Europe is going to
need about rs per cent more food
and textiles than she normally
needs.
I hear the questions asked: Why
should we be expected to send all
this food to Europe? Why can't she
produce her own? Are the people too
lazy, or inefficient or what?
I put those two questions to a
member Of the department of agri-
culture who is just back from an in
spection tour Of Europe.
Europe has always imported
food, in peace and in war, in fat
years and lean," he answered. "To
send food to Europe is the natural
thing. Not to send it would be un-
natural"

 My suggestion to the people o1 New York and these coastal cities IS not to become alarmed" he said. Il want them to know that the Army and Navy are cooperating in every way possible and have developed the best possible defense to meet such 8 situation.
 Ut is of course difficult to stop an attack of robot bombing unless we catch them at the source. The Germans may come here by planes submarines, or ships. They may take position somewhere oil MontauK Point, prehaps as close in as within a 200 mile range of New York Clty. We will do our best to stop them be- fore they get here - and after they get here," he said.
 Asked if there was any possibility that the robots might come from Europe, Ingram said:
 "I'll catch everything here from Europe without glove"
 We are prepared to prevent sur face ships from getting here. and we are loaded for long range Ger man planes" he said. Germany still has 300 submarines at least They can do a tremendous amount of damage but our anti-Submarine campaign has been very effective and we are ready to meet these sub marines at any time"
 He said the only German U-boat that has made its appearance neal here in recent months was one re- ported off the Maine coast. Fol many, many months" no subs have been sighted near U. s. eastern shores, he said.
 German submarines are no longer a menace-but they are not beaten yet" he said. The battle of the At lantic is not over We must keer alert and we are going to keep alert.
 Ingram said he was not depending on Army and Naval intelligence units alone for warning of approach ing bombs because Pm a practica guy" and that he had my owr mean5" of scouting enemy opera tions.

'Provdo' Hits U. s. DaiIies

Moscow. Jan. 8.-(UP)-Th of- flcial Communist newspaper Pravda charged yesterday that the re actionary" American press had "skillfully" used Pope Plus Christ mas message to distract their read CTS minds from the correct solu- tions to the basic problem of war and peace.
 We know that Hitlerites have friends and sponsors" an article by Pravda's commentator on inter national affairs said. These advo- cates and their dirty affairs are irving to influence the minds and feelings of jellyfish babbits.
 "All you have to Ge is Y sse how skillfully some American newss papers have used the Pope's Christ mas message. This message ob. yiously was meant to distract believ- CTS from the correct solution to the basic problems of war and peace This message continues the Pope's old line of trying to shelter German Fascists from responsi- bility."
 FIdtQh cd1u CliC 1NCW 4OAh VOAAN- Telegram published in big type, 'Popes demand for just peace which consists in giving equal rights to vanquished peoples
 "The Washington Evening Star" Pravda said, proves hotly that there should be no permanent dis. tinction between the victors and the vanquished
 "These newspapers, as well as the New York Sun, froth at their mouths and swear that the Pope is a con. vir!ced champion of democracy. Of course. if democracy means sup port for Fascist regimes, then ths Pope is a Democrat.
 "The reactionary American press had sufficiently deciphered just what the Vatican means as a just peace The Pope's message was used as 1t was meant to be used Pro-Fascist elements are trying to cover up with the church's authority, efforts to help HitlerItes escape responsibility for their monstrous crimes"

 ELIAS seizure of British and Greek civilians as hostages and its refusal to permit Red Cross repre- sentatiyes to visit prison camp made it imperative that any truce include reference to prisoners, hi said.

 He also desires the postwar re- ductiCn or elimination Of taxes which bear heaviest on consump- ton. These taxes are of two gen eral types. One is the tax which taps the lowest levels of net income. these persons whose earnings are $1 900 a year or less. Another IS the excise tax, a disguised sales tax. which exacts toll on all sorts Of articles and some services con- sumed by the public. Excise taxes generally are collected in such manner that the consumer is not aware that he is paying them.

 This burden of interest and debt retirement was what MT.

 MT. RooseVelt's associates have estimated that our national income the earnings of all of us indiv' iduauy and collectively--must be high enough to enable the treasury to collect about $25 .0O0, ,000, 900 in taxes annually after the war.
