FOR THE STARVING PEOPLES OF EUROPE AMERICAN PREPARATIONS. DEHYDRATION AN IMPORTANT FACTOR. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.55 a.m.) ' RUGBY, September 14. Details of how the United States would be able to feed the starving peoples of Europe once victory had been attained are contained in an announcement by the United States Department of Agriculture in connection with President Roosevelt’s lend-lease report.
The report stated that liberty cargo ships now under construction —soon at the rate of three daily—would be able, in a single trip, to bring, to Europe nearly 800 eggs for each inhabitant of Europe. Each trip of these ships could supply Europe with a full year’s supply of milk. Each trip could bring a ton of meat for each inhabitant based on the raw weight of the product, but the dehydration of foodstuffs was solving the great problem of transport. Dehydration was the answer to the problem of getting lend-lease food to the Allies and of supplying the American expeditionary forces and reeding the liberated peoples of Europe after the United Nations’ victory.
