Food Board Secrecy
By Peter Edson

the war because food was ammunition and the sub marine blockade had to be overcome. Until recently, this rule of secrecy has been strictly followed But since food is so important, and all eyes are now focused on CFB decisions, for the future more and more of its work should be conducted in the goldfish bowl. "A
 The principal reason for all the secrecy is that the Combined Food Board has no authority. It was not created by law, and there is no law behind it. It has no power to requSton ration countryS food surpuses to allocate those supplies to other countries CFB is merely forum where world food problems can be discussed The board can only rec ommend to various countries where they might Senc surpluses to do the most good in fair distribution
 Furthermore the board takes action except by unanimous agreement of all countries concerned No agreement no action This naturally, slows up all CFB recommendations. But it would be impossible for this board any other agency to operate on any different basis as no country can be expected 10 surrender sovereignty over its food supplies. The board has even ruled that 1t Is up to each country to give out to withhold, figures on its food situa- ton.
 The first break in this no-publicity policy cama a few days ago when CFB issued statement or world supplies and allocations of sugar. The sugar statement is to be followed by statements on rice
 meat beans and peas fats and oils, and bread grains as fast as unanimous agreement can be reachd on each group of commodities.
 The Combined Food Board has. of course. bee accused of playing power politics with food This may in part be due to the policy of secrecy.
 The job of the Combined Food Board Is weigh all factors of world need and supply. Whel agreement can't be reached, the board keeps on asking surplus countries to try to Aag up little more until compromise formula Is reached that all can agree on. Once agreement is reached unanimously all countries are honor-bound to accept the decision

 A University of Illinois report says that this c0untry's wars, since the adoption of the Constitution, have cost more than all the wealth amass- ed in the United States since that time. Perhaps they weren't worth it, but Britain wouldn't be applying for loan if we hadn't started.

WASHINGTON. - Nationwide use

such formula, wages would rise

NEWS REVIEW
GERMANY:
Merge Zones

Merger of the u. S. and British
occupation zones in Germany set a
pattern for the economic recovery of
the war-shattered reich and prom
ised to relieve the Anglo-American
countries of expensive relief bur-
dens.
While merger of the two zones fig
ured to cost both powers billion
dollars for administrative and other
expenses over three year period,
the price was cheap compared with
present outlays, chiefly for food. Re-
lief alone has been running the U. S.
200 million dollars annually.
Among other things, the merger
is expected to speed the economic
recovery of central Europe, which
depended heavily upon Germany for
materials and finished goods in pre-
war years. Until the food-producing
eastern region of Germany under
Russian occupation is included in
zonal unifcation, however, the reich
economy will continue out of bal
ance and remain a drag on the An
glo-American powers.

Even as Premier Tsaldaris left

against foreign interference in
Greece there were rumblings that
Greek leftists were collaborating

Development of an autonomous
movement in Macedonia followed the
pattern established last year in
northern Iran, where leftist elements
bearing Russian support succeeded
in obtaining self-rule in an oil-rich
region coveted by the Soviets.
Russian interest in Greece is as
vital as in Iran since Greece stands
