The great bulk of the poultry and

The supply Of red meats-beef,

Two Enemies
in Need of
Winter Aid

Washington, Sept. 2s-AP-With
Allied help, the United States is
planning on a large scale feeding
program in Germany this winter.
It may have to do the same for
Japan.
Basic Army policy in the ad.
ministration OF both Germany and
Japan is for the defeated enemy
peoples to work or starve', but be
yond this the policy is reported TO
be to take any measures necessary

dents which would ieopardize the
health or safety OF occupation
troops.
Virtually every japanese official
from Emperor Hirohito down has
insisted on the threat OF food short.
age and danger OF starvation.
Probably Japan can be largely II
not entirely fed from nearby areas.
Probably, too, the Japanese will
foot the bill.
The case Of Germany already has
developed to an advanced degree.
Sometime ago the Army began fur
nishing wheat to miners in order
10 lift their calorie intake above
1900 units a day. On that starva-
ton level they could not dig enough
coal and coal is n eded not only
for Germany but also for liberat-
ed countries in Europe
This provisional feeding arrange
ment repeatedly is backed by some
stock piles OF Army food which
might be added to the German re-
lief program in an emergency. But
officials say II is not sufficient for
the months ahead.
Therefore, the United states and
Britain have laid down a 500, 000.-
900 food program for the western
occupation zones.
Army authorities said that this
does not constitute a gift in any
sense Rather the cost will be
charged against the people who
eat the food.
