Meat: Russia s
and the Allies
Russia crumbled away and
failed the Allies largely through
lack of food, according to an
American eyewitness.
With plentiful reserves and
resources virtually untouched, her
people starved at home and at
the, front because there, was no
adequate organization to place
food where it was needed. ' .
Animals on the hoof were
shipped thousands of miles to
the various fronts, wasting trans
portation facilities required for"
other purposes. They arrived
shrunken and emaciated, to be
killed and dressed amidst filth
and confusion behind the lines.
Half of those brought from
Siberia, it is said, perished on the
.'way; many more were unlit for
food.
On the other hand, the American
packers turned live stock into meat in
large sanitary plants located in the
producing sections, and shipped the
product under refrigeration so that it
reached the trenches in France in
perfect condition, witho"t waste.
Says Oar Authority:
, ' Had piicti fnrilitirs for coli! storage
transportation been uvuilulile to the
Kussun supply committee us were
placed at tlio disposal of the quarter-
master of the United States by' Swift
& toinpany. tlvre might have Ken
:i different story coneei ninv; Russia's
part in the finul drama ot the wjr."
.A large - settle packing Industry
tyould lie an asset to RuMsia, in war or
rvnee, as it has proved to be to the
United States.
o The cost of VMs targe scale industry
in the form of profits is only it fraction
ot" a cent per pound of nu-at.
