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 ihe.e were not enough food in the right place at the right time, not only for the armies in the field, but for all the people who make the weapons without which an army cannot fight. It would, for example, be just as seiious if the British people had to suffer drastic cuts in their lation of 1/2 worth of meat a week as it would be »f the armies themselves had to go short of food. Because New Zealand is one of the world’s most important producers o. meat—a source of supply on which Britain depends to maintain her people’s meagre meat ration—th sis 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 all we ran to increase production of meat; it also means eating less meat ourselves.
