American Food for Britain
(British Official Wireless) Received Wednesday, 9.20 p.m. RUGBY, July 29. Saying that the broadcast of Mr. Harry- Hopkins, President Roosevelt's observer in London, was one of the most cheering things he had come across for some time, the Minister of Food (Lord Woolton) nded: “I think it was a grand gesture. I was intensely grateful when I head it. Britain has a food mission in the United States with whom we are in almost hourlycontact and if is doing a splendid job there. The United States are not really a food exporting nation except in regard to cereals and canned fruits. Therefore a little time will elapse before any' quantities of food come over. The foods they are promising to send us are in the animal protein groups such as cheese, milk products, lard, pork products and some canned meat and canned salmon. These are not spare products and in the normal course of trade they would not be exported. The Americans are going to a vast amount of trouble to get thfm for us.”
