Complex Economies
Cause Trouble

n
But there were other forces which
began to work earlier.
Europe, before the war, produced
most Of what it's own people ate.
The things imported were tea and
coffee, spices, and fats and oils.
They also had to import much of
their cattle food and fertilizer. Ger
many, striving to be self-sufficient,
built many plants for the production
Of seed oils and raised many oil
seed crops. This was true elsewhere
in Europe and because more food
value can be produced from the
same resources directly than indi-
rectly through raising food for live
stock, the livestock was reduced.
Under these conditions, in order
to get the greatest value out of food
products, strictest augmentation
was necessary. When the Germans
left country and controls vanished,
conditions Immediately became
worse unless, under liberation, a sta
BILE government could step in i'm
mediately and reorganize.
This reorganization was impeded
by the destruction of transportation,
the disrupted economy and, in the
case of countries like Italy, by the
effect of fascist rule which has made
the people lethargic, dependent and
impotent and, departing, left them
leaderless.
And SO we see the vicious circle
in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ham,
pering the food supply, hunger and
unrest preventing reorganization.
For their own sake, the ''haves"
must feed the '.have-nots." Time is
of the essence, and casting bread
upon these unhappy waters will be
as profitable an investment as it is
a gesture Of mercy.
