Testifying before the senate
war investigating committee,
Olmstead said that If the United
States relief and rehabilitation
administration can persuade
needy countries to accept dried
eggs, the final loss might not
exceed $10,000,000.
"We get astonishing results,"
Olmstead replied. "For instance,
we had to buy 5,500.000 cases
of eggs last spring to support
egg prices so that our inventor
ies now include 63,000,000
pounds of dried eggs, 83.000,008
pounds of frozen eggs, and
1,400,000 cases of shell eggs.
'The egg picture certainly
doesn't look good."
