UNRRA, accordingly, is reducing its estimates. 2—Returning soldiers will not need nor want in civilian pursuits, the average 4000) daily calories they are getting in the service. ‘ 38—Civilian ¢onsumption, which has been abnormal, during the war years, standing 7 per cent higher than in 1935-39, is due to drop, too. 4—-When plants shut down and returning soldiers increase the? farm labor supply, and when farm equipment is available, TO MRS.
