Abstract

No Shortage of Hogs

The article reports that whatever the truth about the meat situation in the U.S., the country suffers from no shortage of hogs, especially in the food and textile industries. Relief for liberated Europe is not held up by UNRRA's minor political troubles but by the difficulty of mobilizing these industries to feed and clothe allies. Food and textiles escaped effective mobilization for war and essential civilian needs. It is unlikely that after V-E Day they can be mobilized effectively for relief to Europe. Something can be accomplished if labor unions and other progressive organizations bring the essential facts to public notice and press Congress, the War Production Board, the War Food Administration, and the Office of Price Administration to act.
