Food outlook cuts lend-lease as meat shortage grows
Government officials said shipments overseas will stop and distribution to shortage areas will ease the meat crunch in July through September. Meat deliveries will drop to 2 or 3 percent of national supply by year end, down from about 7 percent in 1944, while relief shipments rise 6 to 10 percent led by wheat and flour. Federally inspected packers cannot meet demand and non federally inspected slaughter quotas are cut, leaving small towns and farm wives lining up for dwindling supplies.

Reciprocal Trade Debate Splits Farm Leaders
Testifying before the Senate Finance Committee on the House approved bill to extend the reciprocal trade act for three years and grant the President authority to cut tariffs by 50 percent under current levels, farm organization leaders divided. Albert Goss of the National Grange urged continuation of the act for another year and more study of effects on agriculture. Russell Smith of the National Farmers Union supported the bill but warned that without authority to slash tariffs an additional 80 percent cut could erase much of the measure’s contribution to international economic cooperation.
