intelligent woman today who doesn't think food rationing should be re- sumed in America.
 A radio commentator recently asked the nations housewives how , they felt about the question, DO you favor a return to rationing in order to save essential foods needed to feed the victims of war in other countrieS?" He received 4666 letters from listeners, 3744 of them favoring e return to rationing.
 If that is how we feel, we had better so on record. It isn't enough for us to say conversationally that we would like to see food rationed again in America for the good of the world as a while.
 It isn't enough for us simply to express ourselves through private polls.
 Every single one of us who is willing to return to rationing in order that the world may be better fed should write that conviction to her congressman and sign her name to the letter.
 If that fails to get rationing back and it shouldn't-at least Ameri- can housewives won't someday be accused of having been too greedy or unfeeling to be willing to share their food with the rest of the world.
 To borrow a term used many times in William Allen Whites re- gently published autobiography, let's make our private sentiment public opinion"
