U S Urged to Sell More Meat Abroad in 1945
Government food official M K Bennett warns the United States may face embarrassing moments in international relations if it does not expand the share of meat sent overseas. He notes Agriculture Department estimates show Americans may get 5 to 20 pounds less per person in 1945 than 1944, with European supplies shrinking due to curbed stock production and emphasis on domestic rationing and government use. Bennett cites the need to meet international obligations and the impact of the Alaskan processing and lend-lease trends on meat exports.
