Food aid to Britain will req sacrifice by U S housewives
Washington reports that a new program to send Britain $1 billion more in food over five months will require American housewives to sacrifice, skipping some foods and paying more for others. Economists cite shortages in dairy, poultry, pork, and produce to meet both U S and British needs this winter, with Wickard testifying that $1 billion more is needed to cover minimum British food requirements until February 28, 1942. Shipments to Britain already reach about 200,000 tons a month as lend-lease funding broadens.
