TRICTLY BUSINESS
Organized to direct the most ambitious farm production
effort in the country’s history, more than 50 Food Industry
. Advisory Committees have been set up in the War Food Administation.
‘The prgram involves planting 380 million acres in 1944
and a continued high production of meat, eggs, and dairy
products. It compares with 364 million acres planted this year
and 377 million acres in 1942. The wheat goal for next year
has been set at 68 million acres which represents a 26 per cent
increase over this year.
Tn addition, a plan is being studied that calls for the creation of a United Nations food production agency that would
mobilize and coordinate the agricultural resources of all the
allied countries. 6
'. Executives of the WFA have stressed that they are not
concerned in any way with business reforms; that they are
solely concerned with problems of wartime food production
and distribution and not with disturbing or changing established business practices or economic policies. :
PRIDE IN ACCOMPLISHMENT
American war workers should get the same homey feeling from seeing the names of American-made planes and war
equipment used in our historic invasion of Sicily as they would
from seeing pictures and names of any familiar object of their
daily lives in the public press.
Spectacular actions such as the Italian invasion, furnish
a drmatic opportunity for proving to the man on the assembly
line, on the bench, or in the shop turning out what he considets an insignificant bolt or nut, the importance of his job.
It should make everyone connected in any way with the
amazing achievements of this country’s industrial machine
proud of his or her part in the war effort.
Invasions cannot be expected every day, nor can sweep-!
ing victories. In the course of a war, any kind of news is possible. But glorious feats of our armies should be borne in mind

U.S. MERCHANT
SEAMAN BEST
FED IN WORLD
The American merchant seaman
is the best-fed sailor in the world.
He has to bother very little with!
ration books—in fact most of them
don’t even apply for them unless
taking prolonged: shore leave.
The only rationing is done on the
ships themselves in purchase of the
food and supplies which is computed on the basis of’ the number of
men aboard and the length of the
voyage. For example each man gets
one-fifth pound of sugar per day,
one-seventh pound of coffee, one and
one-third pounds of meat plus onethird pounds of fats and oils.
&
Over and above that, each man
receives an emergency allowance of
20 per cent over the total, less such
stores as may be aboard the vessel at
the time she is ready to sail.The prolonged voyage’ enforced
upon the freighers by global warfare has made victualing of ships
very difficult for the commissary departments of the steamship companes. To conserve space and to insure
the crew that the supplies will last,
a system has been devised for boning all meat before the vessel sails.
All the fish is also boned. Enough
fresh vegetables for two months of a
voyage can be stored; after that
canned varieties are used.

other supplies is offered Americans

POPULATION OF
AFRICA CAN BEDOUBLED
LOS ANGELES, Aug 2.— ‘Africa
with its total population of 150,000,000 people can supply twice as
many, Here may be solved the problems of race, with black and white
men living in the same area, sharing the resources of the continent
with a minimum of strife.”
_So writes Dr. Frank J K.lingberg,
professor of history on the Los Angeles campus of the University of
California, in a newly published
monograph. The Rise of the Negro
in Africa.
“Africa is a continent in no way
menaced. by overpopulation,” says
Dr. Klingberg. “(Not fewer, but more
Negroes are needed there. The Negro
population of Africa is now stationary, in contrast with Asia’s increase
of from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 a
year. Asiatic white relationship may
produce war, but, that of Africa is in
the framework of peace.”’
