BARE SUBSISTENCE DIET
NO LEND-LEASE FOOD. ? NEW YORK, Aug. 22. High Government officials expressed tlie view that the cancellation of the Lend-Lease programme virtually means a return to a bare subsistence diet hi the coining winter in Britain, France, Belgium and other countries dependent on largo shipments of Lend-Lease food. It is stated that the “pipeline” through which tons of pork and other fats, oil, wheat and cereals moved from Chicago to Europe, has been broken. It would require months, to establish complicated substitute machinery for feeding Europe. The officials added that regardless of what, relief the rehabilitation agencies can do to feed and clothe the European nations, tho cessation of Lend-Lease means a return to potatoes and Brussels sprouts in Britain for more than a month and far worse conditions on the Continent. The suddenness with which President Truman acted has led to considerable speculation in some. Government quarters that difficulties are deliberately being thrown in the road of tho new British Labour Government.
