The allies have made further and
increased demands for breadstuffs,
these enlarged demands being caused
to some degree by shortage In arrivala
from the Argentine. It Is, therefore,
necessary for the Ü. 8. Food Adminis
tration to urge a still further reduction
in the consumption of bread and bread-
stuffs generally If we are to meet our
export necessities. The Food Admin
istration has issued a statement ex
plaining the situation In detail, partic-
ularly the reasons which lead it, for
the purpose of centering effort for the
time being upon the cereal situation
to relax temporarily the restrictions on
meat consumption.
Experience shows, this statement
says, that the consumption of bread-
stuffs is Intimately associated with the
consumption of meat. For various
reasons our supplies of meat for the
next two or three months are consid
erably enlarged, and we can supply the
allies with all of the meat products
which transportation facilities render
possible and at the same time some
what Increase our own consumption.
In these circumstances the Food Ad
ministration considers It wise to relax
the voluntary restrictions on meat con
sumption to some extent with a view
to further decreasing bread consump-
lion.
Conservation of food must be ad-
justed to meet necessities from time to
time, for neither production, nor al
lied demands are constant factors, nor
can any of these factors be anticipated
for long periods In advance in the dis
turbed conditions in which we at pres
sut live. While the world situation is
not one that warrants any relaxation
In the efforts to eliminate waste or to
relax economy In food, the Adminis
tration desires to secure better adjust
ment In food balancea.
So long as the present conditions
continue the only special restrictions
we ask are the beefless and porkless
