no meat Tuesdays, no poultry or eggs
thursdays and to save slice of
bread every day.
To millions of housewives, already
on strict conservation, the President
said: Keep up the good work. And
save more if possible"
Public eating places were requested
to serve bread and butter only on re-
quest. Distillers were asked to shut
down for so days as soon as possible,
end the use of wheat in fermentation
and turn loose grain stocks they had
on hand. Farmers were asked to re-
duce the grain fed to livestock and
poultry.
Political Cr0ssfire
Inescapably, the aid-Europe pro-
gram ran into political crossfre. The
White House emphasized that the
Presidents voluntary food saving
plan was waste less" rather than
an "eat less" program.
Two weeks earlier, Sen. Robert
A. Taft (R-Ohio), in a speech on his
western tour, had advised Americans
to "eat less and less extravagantly"
Taft, father of the new labor law, en-.
countered pickets at subsequent stops
on his tour, bearing signs coupling
the "eat less" advice with anti-Taft
slogans.
At the poultry industry's protest
that Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Years Day fall on Thursday
and the Presidents ban would bank
rupt turkey growers, the White House
made an exception for those holidays.
with Monday of those weeks becom-
ing the poultryless day More than
half the nations turkeys are con-
sumed on those three holidays.
Battle of Food
In the four-network, half-hour
broadcast from the White House, the
President declared:
"The battle to save food in the
United States is the battle to save our
own prosperity and to save the free
countries of western Europe. Our
self-denial will serve US in good
stead in the years to come"
Secretary of State George c. Mar
shall underscored that theme.
Food today is foreign policy" he
said. Our foreign policy has entered
the American home and taken a seat
at the family table"
Grain Margins Raised
The government, acting to curb
grain speculation which some Con-
gressional Investigators claim is re-
sponsible for high prices, forced the
nations grain exchanges to increast
margins on all trading in futures tc
1915 percent.
Meanwhile Senate agriculture

Churchill fayed the Attlee govern

cialistic doctrines,
They make mistakes which make
things worse" Churchill said. "As
things get worse they claim more
power to set them right. Thus they
move nearer to the scheme of the all
powerful state in which the individual
is a helpless serf or pawn"
Churchill warned his party not to
offer cure-alls TO the public in ap-
pealing for Conservative votes. Brit
ons can face any foe and endure any
hardship but what they cannot for
give, ne warned are false promises
and vain ooastings. He declared:
1T is far better for candidate to
say to British Constituency: If you
vote for me a hard time lies before
you but ! will be your faithful
champion than il is to promise Utopia
with the moon thrown in"
He upheld the theory of imperial
preference and argued there was no
good reason why Britain should not
have as high standard of living as
before the war.
It is not nature which has failed"
he said, But bad policies and foolish
