FEEDING OF U.S. TROOPS
(Rec. 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, Feb. 7. Mr. C. R. Wickard, Secretary of Agriculture, said that the American soldiers in Australia and New Zealand, were receiving most of their food, through reciprocal aid. He added that Australian civilians had gone almost without potatoes for months, in order to feed the Americans. Practically all the pork, canned meats, vegetables, and citrus fruits had been taken for the Americans. In New Zealand severe shortages had been created of eggs, milk potatoes, flour, fruit, and cereals.
Of the vast quantity of aluminium needed for the air fleets of the United States Canada is supplying some 40 pet cent.
