ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Winning The War With Food
Foodstuffs are as important munitions of war as guns or tanks or aeroplanes. The United Nations’ cause could be gravely hampered if there were not enough food iu the right place at the right time, not only for the armies in the field, but for ail the people wlio make the weapons without which an army cannot fight. It would, for example, be just as serious if the British people had to suffer drastic cuts in their ration of 1/2 worth of meat a week as it would be if the armies themselves had to go short of food. Because New Zealand is one of the world’s most important producers of meat —a source of supply on which Britain depends to maintain her people's meagre meat ration—this is a matter which vitally concerns all New Zealanders. Food is the munition of war which New Zealand is specially equipped, to supply. By every means in our power we must keep up and, if possible, increase the quantity of meat New Zealand sends to Britain. That means not only doing ail we can to increase production ot meat; it also means eating less meat ourselves.—P.B.A.
