Food Shipments Will Help
Write the Peace in Europe
BY BAUKHAGE
Netus ANALYST and Commentator.

is the agency which distributes food.
Working closely with it is another
highly efficient American agency
which the British have used as
model in their zone-the health and
sanitation division.
However, there is a food shortage
in Germany, just as there is in the
rest of Europe. The effects are the
same everywhere, and Germany
serves as an excellent example of
the political effects of food short
age. There, the American authori-
ties can accurately check on what
is going on since the military gov
ernment is SO closely tied in to ev-
cry phase of the daily lives OF the
people.
Recently a military government
official in Germany wrote to me:
''No slogan was ever truer than
Food will win the war and write
the peace
We are about to sit down at the
peace table with Italy. Russia prob
ably will not be present. But the
food that Italy does not have may
affect the validity of that peace
treaty.
A revealing comment on how this
works was appended to report
made shortly after the British were
forced to drop to 1,0O0-calorie
scale and coal production dropped
approximately 20 per cent. This was
the comment:
"Heavy workers are dropping at
their work and food riots have al
ready taken place. If this ration is
not raised soon, there will be no
coal; without coal there will be no
transportation; without coal and
transportation, there will be no
processing of food from indigenous
resources.
"The fact that we now have to
60 back on our pledged word to the
German people will seriously inn
pair our prestige and the confidence
of the German people in the pledged
word of our officials. This will give
to those who oppose our economic
system the best weapon they have
ever received. AS fast as possible,
we are losing all the advantages
gained by the success of arms. We
are losing the peace much faster
than at the close of World War l.
The first great blow has been the
food muddle. Others will pile up like
a SNOWFALL.
''It appears that we will have to
reduce the already inadequate ra-
ton for Berlin. This, of course, will
give the Russians strong talking
point against the western powers
when we cannot afford to sustain the
1,550-calorie ration for the normal
consumer"
And so the path of our friend, the
reporter from Izvestia, crosses that
of the American official. Clearly we
see the different segments of the
picture which opponents of western
democracy have sketched in no
faint strokes across the troubled
world.
Yes, indeed, food will write the
peacei
The midland journal., 1946-05-10

It isn't that the people are un-
willing. It's that there was no inn
mediate way to cut down on our
eating which seemed practical.
And so a practical means of getting
food in cans is to be tried, and its
success will depend on the local vol
unteer organization in your comrnu-
nifty. The foods needed are milk
condensed, evaporated or dried)
meat, fish, peanut butter, baby
foods, baked beans, juices, stews,
soups, honey, vegetables.
I know that you have heard this
before in detail. hope you will
hear it again, with further details,
but perhaps you don't realize what
you and the United States can get
in return for the food we send out,
and what we may lose if starvation
becomes widespread.
The whole question is pointed up
in a not-too-prominently displayed
dispatch from Moscow to which an
official called my attention last
week. 1t was a statement made by
a correspondent of the Soviet paper
Izvestia, who had been touring the
American zone in Germany.
''The food stuff difficulties which
forced lowering of rations Tin the
American zone)," the correspondent
wrote, "are explained, in my view,
not so much by the absence of pro-
ductive districts as by a lack of
order and distribution of agricul-
tural products" Then he went on
to explain that the big estates had
not been broken up, as they were in
the Russian zone.

Addressing the National Citizens
Political Action committee in San
Francisco, Calf, Secretary of
Commerce Henry A. Wallace raised
the age-old American political ques-
tion of party loyalty, declaring that
congressman who renounce their
party program should be disci-

Stating that even Calvin Coolidge
and Herbert Hoover had subscribed
to the principle of party loyalty,
Wallace said that once the party had
agreed upon an issue, each congress
sional member should 60 along.

NEARLY YEAR LEFT
FOR NEW ADJUSTMENTS

Certainly, however, the general
notion of "cost plus reasonable
profit" does not sound like an I'M
reasonable invasion of the consum-
ers' rights, or what OPA is sup
posed to have been doing.
There was one amendment
which seemed to me logically
what might possibly be called
''murderous' of OPA, as one
irate Democratic congressman
termed the bill, which was ap-
proved on a final passage by 205
Democrats, including himself,
and 148 Republicans. This was
the one to drop control over GER
tain articles when their pr0duc-
tion reaches the level Of pro-
duction Of the year July 1, 1910,
to June 30, 1941-which was far
from the "peak year" it was
described to be in one Of the
accounts. Production did not
reach a peak until the last year
of the war.
Now it would be entirely logical
and sensible for price controls to
be removed the moment production
reaches current demand. OF course
current consumer demand is great
er than July, 1940-June, 1941. 1t is
very much greater, due to the ac-
cumulation of demand for consum-
er goods during the war. 1t might
be "murderous' to OPA to impose
that new formula on cessation OF
regulations, but it would be what
fairness demands. Relief of regula-
tions should be timed to the period
when production can care for the
present demand, when the pressure
of shortages for higher prices has
been relieved.
The other important amendment
called for gradual elimination OF
subsidies. Frankly, I have never
liked subsidies. The theory is
wrong to pay from the treasury,
which is the money of all the people
(and their debt now is heavy, a
certain portion of the price which
should be paid by the man who buys
the article. Not even Mr.. Truman
has defended subsidies as perma-
nent proposition. Whether the time
limit fixed by the house would
work efficiently, again calls for in
tricate technical knowledge OF the
effect of the removal on each article
at each time.
A revision of the bill by the sem
ate is being prophesied by most au-
thorities, but it is not likely to be
a full-power lease of existing au-
thority as the administration has
been demanding.
Not only have the party chieftains
exhibited confusion in series OF
ridiculous mistakes" as to wheth-
er they are running Mr.. Truman or
congress this year, but they have
been building up sideline CAM
paign on the Roosevelt bier. First
one member of the Roosevelt fam
lily was trotted out as prospective
candidate for governor of New
York; a young man without previ-
Gus experience or political preten-
tons, who, if he wanted to start
as his father did at that age, would
run for the town council.

FOOD:
ChiLdren's Need

Having always maintained that
first care must 60 to children II
race is to survive, Herbert Hoover
and his advisers studying the world
food situation for President Truman
urged extra feeding of Europe's 8
undernourished youngsters to avert
starvation or abnormal develop
nent.
From 200 to 300 million dollars
will be needed for supplementary
feeding of 30 million seriously
underfed European children,
Hoover's advisers said. This con-
trasts with the 80 million dollars
spent after World War / to provide
extra food for 10 million youngsters.
. In Poland, where the height,
weight and age ratio is said to be
the worst in Europe, $40, 900 children
must be cared for in institutions and
an additional 2,400,000 require extra
food and clothing.
. While all fresh milk supplies are
earmarked for children in Germany,
infant mortality for February was
14.6 per 1000. Next to Poland, the
Reich's needs perhaps are greatest,
with the peoples organizing ability
helping to somewhat relieve the
situation.
. In Austria, most of Vienna's 10000
children get bowl of watery soup
and one ounce roll daily, with
Swedish, Swiss, Danish and U. S.
charitable organizations providing
relief for only about 10 to 20 per
cent of needs.
. Of Yugoslavia's l million children
in need of supplementary feeding,
100000 are orphans and 450,0 have
only one parent. Infant mortality is
81 per 1000.
Meanwhile, u. S. millers and food
manufacturers held production of
-four and wheat preparations to rs
per cent of the amount used in the
corresponding period of 1945 as part
of the government program to con-
serve grain for relief shipment over
seas.
At the same time, farmers were
being urged to sell wheat to the
government for a 80 cent a bushel
bonus to permit accumulation of
sufficient stocks to meet the press
ing overseas need. To assure ade-
quate feed to help replace wheat,
the. government also offered farm
ers a premium of 80 cents bushel
on corn.

This criticism, which I think in

food, or the lack of it, is serving
and can serve as weapon to stir
up discomfort and to bring the west
ern countries into disrepute and dis
favor.

surely as hunger follows war.

toned, it frequently was presented
as l have done above, in confus-
ing way. Actually, the extension
works out to be more than IL
months from now, and nine months
beyond the expiration date Of OPA
powers on June 30.
A lot of water may 60 over many
dams in the next II months and the
continuance of the government 8
powers to act against prices for
that long a time could hardly be
called destructive of OPA.
What angered the administra-
ton to unusual bitterness
against the bill were the amend
ments. One amendment pro-
posed what was generally de-
scribed as "cOst plus reason
able profits to producers and
handlers" OPA contended this
would upset their ceilings on
many of the major items Of
production, autos, rubber and
such. This would depend upon
whether their ceilings now deny
"cost plus profit" on these
items and 1t would require
skilled mathematician a week
to figure out the involved formu-
la for one item. Frankly I
would not attempt to referee
this argument.

time control over textile manufac-
turers and granted additional price
increases to increase the output Of
cheaper material.
To assure supplies Of certain
cheaper material, the Civilian Pro-
duction administration ordered
mills to employ the same number of
spindles for specified cotton yarns
as they did on December 81, 1945.
AS result, production for shirts,
shorts, work clothes, mems suits,
hosiery, sewing thread, toweling
and cotton duck is expected to in
crease to 235 million pounds for each
remaining quarter of this year.
At the same time, the OPA or
dered manufacturers to set aside
from 80 to IS per cent of certain
types of cotton yarn to meet the
needs for knit hosiery and under
wear; woolen and worsted fabrics
and agricultural and industrial
goods.
Together with earlier increases
for cotton fabric, a 5 per cent boost
in price ceilings for combed and
carded yarns is designed to help
achieve a so per cent rise in out
put Of such essential items as work
clothes, wearing apparel and agri-
cultural and industrial goods.
DIVORCES:
Throughout the English-speaking
world the astronomical increase in
divorce brought on as an aftermath
of World War II gave rise to gen.
eral alarms and revolutionary out
looks upon marriage and the fam
lily, Prof. Ernest r. Groves has
stated in an article prepared for the
Encyclopedia Britannica.
Whereas in 1914 there had been
600 divorces in all England, in 1945
in London alone there were 4,O00
divorce cases waiting to be heard.
Professor Groves lists the causes
Of the great boom in divorce mills
as imprudent, hasty marriages,
marriages made, for such Interior
motives as receiving government
allowances allotted to wives of serv-
icemen, "passion marriages and
marriages that had no proper start
because of the hectic circumstances
before the husbands went overseas.
Another factor contributing its
part to marital breakups was un-
faithfulness Of wives, either real or
imagined by servicemen returning
from overseas.
