Claims 05 Navy Best Fed Body Of Men In World
Navy paymaster general Samuel Meier says the American navy provides the best fed body of men worldwide. Admiral McGowan notes standards stayed high despite meat shortages and that surplus provisions were sold at reasonable prices. Navy ration cost rose to 70.5 cents per man daily, up from prewar levels. The service will seek extra funds in a coming session. Progress on surplus vessel sales totaled over five million dollars last year. Considerations include government ownership of New York and Boston coaling plants to cut rent costs.
