THfe BEND BULLETIN. BEND, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1945 PA56 THREE Food Situation Called Critical By Two Nations By Ann Hicks (United PrM SUff Correspondent) Washington, March 28 (U'iThe unireo. aiaies ana ureat Britain announced jointly today that they were reappraising the entire food supply and requirements problem in the light of an "increasingly critical" situation. The announcement made by the state department and the British embassy was made in connection with the visit here of Oliver Lyt telton, British minister of produc- tion, and J. J. Llewellln, minister of food. It revealed that the two Britishers were sent here by Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the invitation of President Roosevelt to work out the difficult food problem with high American officials. Congress "Alerted" The announcement came as the food supply problem held the full attention of congress, with sepa rate house and senate investiga tions already projected. Civilians meanwhile received conflicting re ports from government agencies on the amount of food they could expect this year. A spokesman for the "big four" meat packing concerns predicted that the government will have to "take over" the meat industry if the war should last three or four more years and OPA regulations are not changed. Thomas E. Wilson, Chicago, chairman of the board of Wilson & Co., told the senate food inves tigating committee that the meat industry could not "continue to borrow money and assume the losses that will continue unless this program is changed." Will Discuss Factors The British-American statement said that all relevant factors will be discussed, including the levels of consumption and the reserves necessary to support the war ef fort in the countries concerned. The conflicting reports on the food supply came from the war food administration and the of fice of price administration. Foreign Economic Administra tor Leo T. Crowley told the senate foreign relations committee that lend-lease shipments of beef and veal during 1944 amounted to on ly seven-tenths of one per cent of the supply. "It should be remembered that we have received under reverse lend-lease about three-fourths as much beef and veal as we have lend-leased," Crowley said.
