conference, the two officials both

Mr.. Harriman's bill proposes broad

Senator Taft's judgment that the

Poster Drive Tells Austrions
6O% ofFood Comes FromU. S.

| the U. S. A.-thus you are told" it
starts off scathingly; then makes a
Wordy and complicated argument
blaming the Americans and the
non Communist government for tie
fact that people are hungry.
Communists Ridiculed.
A few nights ago one of the domi-
nant parties went out and stuck
a sticker of its own on top of all the
Communist posters, with the jeering
equation: THE Communist Party
equals misunderstanding to the
latter's bitter opposition to cur
rency control.
! Next night the Communists
gunmed a second sticker beneath
the first, proclaining that "the So
cialist Party and the Peoples Party
are robbers of the people!" BY this
time their original argument was
all covered up except the top line.
! Chuckling gleefully over such
amateurishness, the Americans point
out that the Communists are now
telling the Austrian people. via the
billboards, just what we want them
to know: That so per cent of their
food comes to them from the United
States.
This week the information serv-
ices will put out smaller reproduc-
tions of the food posters in 10000
food stores all over the country
with the help of the Austrian gov
ernment and its food distribution
agencies.
Food to Be Marked.
And from now on every can and
food package will bear a sticker re-
peating: Gift from American aid
to Austria; the money you spend fo1
1t will be used to help the needy"
But just how far all this will re-
duce the human grumbling of the
threadbare Austrian housewife is
another question. Her children keep
on asking for more to eat-though
the government last fortnight got
hold OF some additional sugar and
fat, with which they raised the cur
rent ration to 1,700 calories.
On 1,700 calories a day, nutri-
tionists point out, it's hard to feel
grateful for anything.

Cotton PICKING
Nears Completion

World exports of cotton regained
half their wartime losses in 1945-
46. In 1945-46 cotton mill consump-
ton increased considerably in a
number of the war-torn European
countries. Domestic consumption
in September ran above the Aug
uSt level, and at an annual rate OF
slightly more than 1912 million
bales. With total consumption for
the year at about 912 million bales
and exports at 80 million bales,
the carry-over on August l, 1947
would be reduced to something less
than 4 million bales. This would
be roughly half the carry-over on
August l, 1916.
mated at 8,724,000 males of 500 lbs.
The 1916 cotton crop is now esti-
gross weight as compared with g.
171,000 in September. This is the
smallest crop since 1921, and COM
pares with 9.015.000 bales for 1915
and the 1854 average of 1853
600 bales. The lower estimate in
October production is attributed to
drought conditions that continued
into September in some areas and
also to low temperatures which re-
tarded development of cotton in
areas and where there was con-
siderable late planting.
