merit on the food situation has roused the ire of the Winnipeg Frve Press, staunch Liberal journal, which says it will occasion some re- gret that the Prime Minister gave no clear dir- ective to the famicrs with respect to expand- ing their cultivation of wheat in 1946. In leav- ing the matter up to tlic farmers themselves he

was freeing the Clovcrnmcnt from a responsi- bility which many felt it should have under- taken. Mr. King's statement on increased pro- duction mcreiy said:

“Reference has already been made to the

very large expansion of wheat acreage over the past two years (last year the Canadian wheat acreage was alhiost 24,000,000 acres). We do not feel that we should try to tell the farmers what they are to grow on each piece of land. We wish to encourage production on the most scientific basis possible in order to provide the maximum yield of food stuffs over the next few years. So far as the over-all picture is concerned, no further statement is required in respect of the target set in the Dominion-Pro- vincial discussion last December for wheat acre- age for r946. Our farm population is strongly urged to continue to strive for the greatest pos- sible over-all production of foodstuffs, and to plan their farming so as to produce the maxi- mum quantity of food during the next three to four years." .

“In the light of this vague statement,” says the Free Press, “farmers may well be somewhat perplexed as to their duty. It is true that there is urgent need for meat and dairy products which in turn‘ means a need for maintaining coarse grain acreage for feed. But, when a world is ‘starving,’ it is wheat that can keep people alive best and it is wheat that can be most quickly produced.- Wheat is our famine food; but the farmer is left to make up his own mind as to the relative world needs for the produce he has a choice of raising.”

Emphasis is rightly‘ placed on the great fear in war-ravaged Europe today — the fear

of etarvation. But there is a second great fear, almost as pressing. It is that of disease. In a

Commenting on the fact that the the average Canadian can hardly realize the acute scarcity of food in England the Financial Post tells the follow ng story. An American soldier stationed in England wrote to his parents that he was marry-

ing an English girl. Back from D

the United States came a package which contained the rice thrown at his arents’ wedding. They had saved t to he used when their son married. But the rice was not thrown at the young cough when they left the church. It ld, how- ever, a pear at the wedding-in the form o s rice pudding. That was practical, lf not traditional. Food ‘is too scarce in England to be thrown way-Winnipeg Tribune.
