WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, D. C.
The fight for food is on and lot
of people who "don't know there's a
war going on" are going to learn
about it at the breakfast table.
The first shot was fired in the
battle of the bureaus in Washing
ton by Food Administrator Marvin
Jones early this month. Since then
the President was moved to express
himself on the subject at White
House press and radio conference.
When he casually losses off some
comment like that it means lot Of
memoranda have been written on
the subject. We will have to take
at least one hitch in our belts.
However, the situation is not quite
as black as painted but unless it is
painted as black as possible it will
be blacker. I choose the word black
advisedly for that is the color of the
markets that arise to thwart the
war effort everywhere.
1t was a realization of this fact
that caused the quiet, modest, soft
spoken Marvin Jones to shout loud
spoken Halt" to this food-ordering
spree, begun in the last months by
the various agencies whose job it is
to get food but not to grow it. Amer
lea was doing pretty well, that is
the American farmer was doing
pretty well making two and some
times four blades of this and that
grow where only one grew before
and by teaching the cows and the
chickens how to multiply. We were
feeding ourselves pretty well at
home, we were turning out a G.I.
ration the like of which fighting men
never put their teeth into Tin such
quantity and quality before.
Also considerable food-though not
nearly as much as was asked for
was going out to countries in the
immediate vicinity of the war zones
and under the lend-lease arrange
ment. UNRRA was making some
shipments but not many.

Food Administrator Jones knew
about what could actually be shipped
abroad and how much was needed
at home and he was able, with the
help of the sweating tillers of the
soil, to conjure it out of terra firma.
Then all of sudden things began
to happen, and the demands on Un-
Gle Sans larder began to swell in
such proportions that Jones said it
would be bare as Mother Hubbard's
cupboard if all the hungry folk got
there before he locked the door.
"There just isn't that much food
in the world" one Of Jones' lieu
tenants told the newsmen.
There is something about the bust
ness of sowing and reaping, of breed
ing and feeding, of blowing, harrow
ing and thrashing that just can't
be hurried. Jones knows that. The
President knows Jones knows it and
so he listened to Jones.
The edict went out, no more food
shipped to anybody anywhere, ex-
cept for the army and navy and the

ments, until it is approved by COM
mittee composed of the agencies
who take the food and the one which
produces it. This committee is pre-
sided over by Leo Crowley, the Pres
ident's No. trouble shooter. The
army, the navy, the shipping admin
istration and the food administrator
are members of that committee.
Besides feeding its own mouths
the army has 10 feed the people in
the bs|1e areas in which it lives.
You have to maintain the economy
of those areas if you live and fight
in them. The Germans had to do
it and that is why when they depart

them) the liberated areas we're
worse off as far as eating went than
they were before. AS our army
moves forward more and more
areas must be fed.

France, Belgium, and most of the
Balkans have been, food is essen

There is nothing so conducive to
revolution and civil strife generally
as an empty stomach. The function
of alternating the distress in these
countries falls to UNRRA which SO
far has not been able to do much.
One reason for this, which applies
also to countries which don't need
borrowed food, but can buy it, is the
