Plenty of food for everybody in 1943, regardless of rationing. That’s the forecast by calculations of the United States Depart- ment of Agricultu re economists. Amazing, perhaps, to Key Westers, who are now jittery over such things as canned goods, will be the prediction that Ameri- cans not only will continue to be the best-fed nation in the world, but will even be in a position to improve their eating standards. Calculations made by the(United States Department of Agri- culture, on the assumption present crop prospects materialize, show civilians in 1943 will get 3,230 calories daily, compared to 2,900 per diem consumption in 1936; a recommended standard of 2,800. Daily proteins-promised in 1943 {in grams) will be 89, compared to 83 in 1936; a recommended 66. ? € As Fortune Magazine puts it, in an exhaustive survey, “No real shortage exists.” There is enough food to meet all militai Allied and normal “Civilians this year will get more meaf, civilian needs,* T ir «survey shows" more fruit, more eg more wheat and only slightly less milk than they consumed in pre-war days, but the 1943 totals in every case will fall short of what war-rich civilians will want.
