Washington, D. C„ Sept. 23—It
may give the farmers o< Oregon
and Washington a feeling of satls-
f tlon to learn that crops they
■ nve raised are now being used to
feed the people of the labors of
the quartermaster's department In
pioducin«, as if by magic, stores of
foodstuffs for the civilian populat-
1 ti. This was first demonstrated In
Xorth Africa, where American food
was provided for the people as rap
idly as territory was swept clear
of the enemy.
On the heels of the American tr
oops In Sicily came steamers loaded
with supplies—flour, milk, sugar,
dehydrated vegetables and fruit
and meats. Having fed the Sicilians,
preparations were made for Italy.,
Nc sooner was the unconditional [
trrender of Italy announced than
freighters began nosing into the
docks and discharging cargoes of
ford, which was distributed without
delay. The food follows the soldiers.
It is the American policy in this
wnr to look after the welfare of the
civilians as promptly as possible, |

What is taking place in Tunesla,
Sicily and Italy Is only the beginn
ing. The same open-handed gener
osity will be displayed in other co
untries as they are rescued from
beneath the heels of the hordes of
Herr Hitler.
This sums up that the farmers of
the United States will be feeding
millions of people aboard for the
next few years, or until crops can
be grown and harvested there. It
Ls part of the plan announced by
President Roosevelt and supple
mented by Secretary of Agriculture
Claude Wlckard that food will be
the trump card at the peace table.
Into the picture has moved ex-
Governor Lehman of New York,
who has been appointed to admin
ister the relief to be given Europe
by Uncle Sam. The task of feeding
the civilians will be taken over by
Lehman and he is now building up
an extensive organization to handle
