WASHINGTON, D. c. - The speed
with which the American people
have run away from the war Is IN
credible. Like the lazy workman who
drops his hammer and leaps for the
dinner pail at the first toot Of noon,
we began a stampede for the din
ing table on W Day.
Stampedes always make trouble
for someone. Many hundreds Of peo-
pie will starve as a result. and
heaven only knows how the cause
Of democracy throughout the world
may suffer.
We could not foretell, but we could
have made allowance for possible
crop failures. They were cata-
strophic In many countries. We
could have pursued a different food
policy at home. We shook with fear
lest there would be surpluses. we
tried TO get the people to eat up
their stored supplies and counselled
restrictions on food production TO
prevent a glutted market, especial
ly in eggs and poultry. And how we
ate!
That is why. a few days ago.
