The report cites three month sugar supply and consumption figures near 325 to 328 million for comparison with the prior quarter. It notes civilian rice cuts of about 2 percent due to military and relief needs, giving roughly 4.3 pounds per person for 1945 versus six pounds last year. It records world meat deficits around 15 percent or 6.2 billion pounds with a potential balance a year after VE Day. It urges a heavier fall pig crop to reduce current pork and boost next year’s supply. It also covers Senate approval of extending the Commodity Credit Corporation borrowing power to 4.73 billion and confirms limited lend-lease sugar flows to Russia with none to Britain.
