exclusively to postwar questions it will consider the food ind clothing needs of the world as -not merely of the countries now aligned against the Axis Agricultural experts estimate that only about 11 per cent of the total land area of the earth consists of eultivatable soil In other words about 4000000000 acres must be made to supply the food and clothing needs of some 2000000000 human beings United States delegates brought to the- conference plans for expanding domestic agricultural production to a level which would provide all citizens with a health-promoting and life-extending diet Those plans call for sharp increases in the production of such vitamin-rich foods as milk eggs poultry vegetables and fruits Prepared in conjunction with the National Resources Planning program for expanding industrial activity and employment the projected program envisions a productive output by 1954 which would provide all persons with an adequate diet as measured by the National Research Council Nutritionists of the Agriculture Department estimate that more than a third of all Americans have an inadequate diet because of ignorance of good food rules a shortage of buying power and in some cases "an insufficient supply of vital foods Under the adequate diet program worked out by these nutritionists it la assumed that all low-income families would follow a low-cost diet plan all

Board for having beings and will need to live as such I stopped work on irrigation and By DeWitt Mackenzie While mushroom rumors of impending collapse undoubtedly are watered by wishful thinking and therefore should be regarded with great caution there can be small doubt that thei little kingdom is indeed rocking and that Mussolini the Duce is in a bad way Reports from London that Hitler is planning to withdraw and leave his Italian stooge to stand off invasion alone don't sound wholly unreasonable Undoubtedly the fuehrer up to this junction has been prepared to defend Italy strongly but the elimination of the Axis from North Africa has changed the Mediterranean picture entirely As things stand Italy is a very bad insurance risk So long as Hitler held powerful air and submarine bases on the North African coast he had a good chance to defend Italy and gave Indications that he intended to do so Now however the Allies possess the African bases rendering Italy highly vulnerable to attack Air Power If and when the Allies attempt invasion much must depend on air power They now hold overwhelming aerial superiority and unless Hitler should rush a large section of his already weakened Luftwaffe to the defense of his colleague a move which might be suicidal Mussolini likely would be quite unable to withstand the assault The Anglo-American air fleets are making heavy inroads on the Italian mainland Last night a force from Tunisia successfully raided a seaplane base only fifteen miles from Rome which lacked the defense to stand off the attack On the whole a sore toe of Italy that now projects down into the Allied controlled Mediterranean By and large it probably would profit Hitler little to expend much energy in defending Italy As this column previously has remarked he most likely has discounted the loss of this great base already no question of loyalty to Mussolini involved for the Nazi overlord would cut the throat as quickly as Benito stabbed France in the back when he saw she was helpless Move To AIpe Therefore the natural thing for Hitler to do woitild be to withdraw to his defenses behind the Alps and not waste man-power and equipment on a hopeless quest The boche are pretty self-centered and practical in that way as witness the manner in which Hitler's boasted legions surrendered against his orders in Tunisia when they saw that they were fighting a losing battle This doesn't necessarily mean that Hitler would strip Italy clean because the longer the Allies can be kept out of the country the better chance the Nazi chief has to prepare himself for the onslaught which certainly is going to be directed against his first line defenses However any German troops left in Italy will quit when they see the game is up just as their comrades did in Tunisia King May Abdicate Rumors that King Emanuele may abdicate in favor of Crown Prince Umberto lack confirmation from any source If the king should withdraw it wouldn't be because of his personal unpopularity but to make way for his more vigorous son There was a time long ago when the royal family sunk fairly low in public esteem but that situation has changed When I was in Italy not long before the war the king had recovered his hold on the public and there was no doubt that if Mussolini passed out of the picture the king would again become the real head of Italy Since then the peo- longingly towards the old monarch So far as concerns Umberto some years ago his standing too high with the public because of his play-boy activities However he has pulled up his socks and reinstated himself in the goodwill of the people He probably would be acceptable to the public as king if his father chose to make way KILLED BY LIGHTNING Camp Atterbury Ind JP Technician Fourth
