That rule should be fcllowed when the building up of the army icc3 not create what will be the No. 1 world problem not only this year but in 1944 also —a shortage of food. And while we wlil continue to be “the best-fed people in ihe | world,” as the President remarked in his recent message to congress, “best” does not mean much when it is the superlative of an extremely acute condition in any sphere of life. If we now live entirely on bread and coffee. getting as much of both as we wished, we would still be the “best-fed” compased with the Poles and the Greeks in their present state. Thus, “best” is not reassuring to a man, like Kaltenborn, for instance, who is aware of the serious food condition that faces us, as well as the rest of the world. Being the “‘best-fed” people in a world of starving people is no assurance that we still will not be poorly fed people. The only way to beat the terror of a starving world that is positively a distinct threat row, is to begin NOW to fight it, and the right way to begin is not only to stop draining the farms of laborers, but to send back to the farms, as several senators and representatives have suggested, some of the inductees who have been recently shifted | from the farms to the army. The time to begin to fight our No. 1 problem is NOW.

I an From this; he concludés “that shou!d such a demand be made, and get the support of the Moslem world ... embarrassment might develop into a holy war, with the green flag of Islam raised on both sides of the strategic Mediterranean.” So what? If the United Nations man- age to conquer the Axis, the “demand” of Islam will be “small ehange” and the “green flag’ on both sides of the strategie Mediterranean would amount to exactly nothing.
