Meat a Luxury

Mr. Stettinius’ most recent Yeporty’ ‘fo congress said food shipments to b Russia in January and February were 35 per cent from the previ two months, and five times their Yolume a year ago. Although Russian civilian rafions have been severely reduced, virtually all of the food now being sent| EEC: by this country is going directly to : the Red army. Black bread is the mainstay of the civilian population, and .only the heaviest workers get more than a pound of it .a day, according to Agriculture Secretary Wickard. Meat is no longer a regular’ ration but an occasional luxury.

Want More Butter

"This year the Russians are hoping|} to get 5 per cent of the American butter production and give their soldiers a change from the lard ordinarily spread on their. bread, Up to now, butter shipments have ~ amounted to less than 1 per cent . of our production, # Meat and animal fats have ac- © counted for about 30 per cent of our food shipments to Russia, wheat . and flour about 25 per cent, sugar ~~ about 17 per cent, dried beans, peas, ~~ Tice and cereals about 12 per cent, vegetable oils about 6 per cent and’ dairy products about 5 per cent. ~ Russia’s food shortage results| ~ from the almost total loss of pro-|} ~ duction in the Ukraine, North Cau- |} casus and Crimea, which in normal|® times accounted for two-thirds of|g her agricultural production.

Loss Equals Midwest Occupation: of these areas has} caused a disaster comparable to _ that which would ensue if the} United States should lose its own} - Midwest. Development of new/|# farm land beyond the Urals has offset the loss only partly. Russia during two years of lend-j dease received agricultural products valued at $128,004,000 from the total of $1,449,000,000 distributed. to all countries. Improvement of supply lines has: permitted shipme of both food land war materials ! increase. In the second year just| ended, Russia got 29 per cent of fall lend-lease goods as against 6 per cent in the first. fa ‘Cargoes to Russia are now Ve ing over three routes—M and Archangel, the southern flane by the Persian gulf and Iran, sand
