Americans today that they are no

afford the ration points.
It isn't going to get any better
for many months. ThereH be
enough to eat but the diet will
be simple and unsavory.
That is, the unvarnished picture
for 1945, at least while this na
tion and its allies are still fighting
Japan and helping to avert starva
tion in war-ravaged Europe.
Some other countries, in fact,
will eat better than America, a
new and paradoxical situation.
AP Makes Survey
The Associated Press surveyed
the situation through local offi
cials in this country, the federal
agriculture department and sourc
es abroad, and found:
1 Only a few sections in the
far west have anything like nor
mal meat supplies. Poultry is
disappearing. The strain on the
egg supply is being felt. Many
places don't even have bologna
or lunch meat Storey are closing.
2 Germany faces possible fam
ine next winter; the French and
Belgians are solving their prob
lem pretty well, the Balkans are
in dire straits; Holland, Norway,
Finland and Italy must have help
if they are to eat; Spain, Egypt,
Denmark, Sweden and Canada
are eating well and in many com
modities don't even have to ration.
In this country, says the agri
culture department, the outlook
for the next six months Is
Enough Essentials
There will be enough essential
foods to maintain good diet but
that diet will have to be plain
Reduced supplies of meats, fats
and sugar will lower the energy
value of that diet from five to
10 -per cent. Americans ate ex
cessively in 1944, 150 pounds of
meat per capita. The supply this
year has been at a 115-pound rate
but that may go up to 126 in the
fall. We are eating so many eggs
as substitute that a serious short
age ofthat protein may develop.
Sugar, which has been plenti
ful, may be approaching a crisis
A house committee was reported
drafting a report that the gov
eminent mishandled the rationing
and demanding that shipments
abroad be cut.
War mobilization director Fred
M. Vinson announced a program
for increased subsidies to boost
the meat supply but he couldn't
promise any , immediate effect.
Meantime, the government's food
experts urged a shift to more of
a grain diet.
Situation Explained
Here was the domestic situation
at weekend:
West Dallas headquarters for
a six-state area reported meat very
scarce. In San Francisco dealers
informally started to ration eggs.
Montana had a good beef supply
and apparently enough poultry
and eggs, one of the few bright
spots. Colorado likewise wasn't
being too pressed but was worry
ing about a farm labor shortage
and asking for -more war prison
ers to help. Utah appeared self-
sustaining, too. Omaha creameries
said much butter is spoiling be
cause the people don't have the
red points to buy, it Oregon had
some meat. New Mexico called
it a "meat famine.

WASHINGTON, May lM-In
a scathing criticism of "world

and means committee assailed to
day the administration's proposal
to lower tariffs.
The minority members signed a
dissenting report asserting that "if
the present objective is ten bil
lions of exports ... we had bet
ter drop all talk of economic
peace" for "any such quantity of
exports will bring us head-on into
conflict with Great Britain and
with other nations whSse markets
we must invade if we are to at
tain that volume."
But the 14 democrats filed at
the same time a formal statement
of why: they believe the reciprocal

extended for three years, with
authority for further duty'reduc

estimated that four out of every 109 men had to be given
