Western Newspaper Union reports that government rationalizations for restoring food rationing after the election are political excuses. It notes inconsistent official statements, conflicting figures from War Food Administration and Tolley, and Army claims of surplus, concluding tighter rations are inevitable despite large crops.

Feeding Italy and political pay in war era
The piece discusses President Roosevelt pushing to involve Italians in the war and manage food supplies in southern Italy amid fears of food Riots if Rome faces Allied forces. It notes disagreements with Wilson at times and the Oct 31 order to raise Italian rations, while shipping constraints remain cited by Stettinius. It also contrasts poorly paid U.S. public officials with higher British pay and recounts Nazi prisoner persuasion efforts and a flagpole tribute at Shugborough park.
