Today and Tomovrow
' By WALTER LIPPMANN
—
After a little study of the facts
and figures on food, I have—rather
late in the day—learned something
which was quite new to me, and, if
there is no error in the argument,
of great practical importance. It
has to do with the shortage of fats
and oils, and it is that the same
measures which will insure a suffi
cient supply for our own people
will provide a substantial addition
for the people of Europe.
This is not, I think, the general
impression. Judging by what is
said in Congress and by the heart
felt pleas of those who have been
campaigning for American relief,
the question is whether we shall
be generous and self-sacrificing or
selfish and greedy. But as a matter
of fact this does not—in regard at
least to the vital fats and oils—
appear to be the real question at
all. For the truth appears to be
that unless we ration our fats and
oils, important sections of this
country, and large masses of our
people who can least well do with
out, are going to be seriously short
of fats and oils. On the other
hand, if we do ration fats and
oils our own people will be belter
fed than they are otherwise going
to be, and they will be able to
help the hungry people of Europe
more than they will otherwise help
them.
* w f
I know it sounds like a contra
diction to say that anything can
enable Americans and Europeans
to eat more of the same food at
the same time. But it is true, and
the reason it is true is that with
out rationing of these precious
foods, the distribution will be
grossly inefficient and wasteful
Rationing is the only way of pre
venting the waste of food through
inefficient distribution.
The amount of food that can be
saved by efficient distribution will
be enough to provide every Ameri
can with mere than enough and
hundreds of thousands of Euro
peans with something more than
fearfully too little.
* * *
If the situation in the country
as a whole is what our most ex
pert investigators say it is, then,
even if Europe did not exist, the
ratior-ng of fats and oils would
be highly advisable in the United
States. For some months the De
partment of Agriculture reports
have shown that it is more and
more difficult to buy fats and oils
in’ retail shops. The supply is not
meeting the demand, an din cer
tain areas in the South and on the
West Coast, there is already seri
ous complaint.
This situation will almost cer
tainly become .vorse. For on the
one side — that of total supply —
our production of fats and oils is
likely to be 10 per cent less this
autumn than it was a year ago,
and next winter and spring it may
be 15 per cent less. The govern
ment—in order to conserve wheat
and corn for human food — has
taken measures which make it less
profitable to feed livestock. Thus
it is predicted that the average
weight of hogs may be twenty
pounds less than it was last sum
mer.
* * *
Now against this short supply
there is available a highly inflated
amount of money. This will, if we
do not regulate it by rationing,
cause a fearful waste of precious
food. For while there is a tremen
dwous amount of purchasing power
in the country, it is not spread
evenly among all the people. There
is much more purchasing power
in some areas—where wages and
profits are higher—than in others
where they are lower. And within
these areas there are, of course,
those who have more money to
spend and those who have less.
If there were plenty of food, we
could let supply and demand oper
ate freely in the market without
serious injury to the health and
comfort of the mass of the people.
But if we let an inflated demand
operate against a short supply, we
shall get a grossly inefficient and
unjust distribution. Some will eat
more than they need, in fact more
than is good for them, while their
neighbors and their fellow citizens
in other parts of the country will
be able to buy less than by rights
they ought to have.
* * *
A few basic facts and figures,
which will not, I believe, be dis
puted, clinch the argument. The
first is that an average of twenty
pounds of fats and oils per person
per year is the minimum necessary
for good health. Our consumption
of edible fats and oils is in this
year 1946 an average of forty-one
pounds per person. This is double
the necessary minimum. In Europe
it is estimated at 9.3 pounds. This
is half the necessary minimum.
European statistics are, I have no
doubt, rather primitive in view of
the general disorganization of gov
ernment, and also there is some
political doctoring and a lot of
black market. But wnen an dis
counts have been made, there is
no doubt whatsoever that in the
cities the people of modest income
and the poor are badly under
nourished. The increase of tuber
culosis and of diseases of deficiency
prove that.
Now our own average of forty
one pounds per person per year is
only—only—let us not—an average,
only—let us note—an average. And
averages have to be handled with
care: the average weight of an
elephant and a mouse would not
tell us much about the weight of
any actual animal. So it is with
this average of forty-one pounds.
The figure is significant only be
cause it is a way of decribing the
total supply—with the figures we
can say that if we reduced the
average American consumption
one pound per person per year,
and rationed the rest fairly we
should have more than enough for
everybody. And we should have a
substantial surplus for the Euro
peans.
* * *
An average of forty pounds if
rationed will give everyone here
plenty. It will slim down a bit only
the guzzlers and the gluttons,
which will make them more glam
orous than they now are. Yet this
average of forty pounds rationed
will enable us to send Europe as
much as we sent in 1945, and not
—as to our embarrassment we are
planning to do—substantially less.
We ought, of course, to ration
and then export more even if it
I hurt. That kind of pain makes
I mfen feel better. But in fact the
; right thing to do for others is at
the same time the most sensible
thing we can do for ourselves.

The testimony in the Sunday ses

of the violence of recent Balkan
history. Much of the testimony con
cerned interpretation of “Z,”
described by the prosecution as
the name of a Chetnik unit.
The prosecution contended that
“Z” stood for the word “Zaklati,”
which means to stab to death. Mi
hailovic testified, however, that it
denoted “Zaplasiti,” which means
to frighten.
Meant To Frighten
“Put under the ‘Z,’” the prosecu

dividuals unfriendly to Mihailovic
for murder. But the defendant testi
fied:
“I wanted to frighten certain peo
ple, and I managed in many cases
to frighten them.”
