42 THIRTY CENT BREAD 



This fact stands directly behind our inability dur- 

 ing the past three years to supply the fighting nations 

 of Europe with what they wanted and needed to 

 their own benefit and to the benefit of -our own agri- 

 cultural interests. 



It is not too late to institute at once a policy of 

 co-operation which will at least to some small extent 

 repair the damage already done and to a far-reach- 

 ing extent provide against the needs of the future. 



§ 19 — ^ARMY AND NAVY 



A comparison of the army food supply of Ger- 

 many and Austria (the food supply of France is 

 similar) with the rations of the United States army 

 emphasizes the importance of the dehydrating indus- 

 try which in Germany has been encouraged to such 

 an enormous extent and which in America has been 

 curiously and strangely repressed. 



The ration for daily distribution in the German 

 army consists of: 



war bread (whole meal) 750 grams 



fresh meat 375 grams 



dehydrated vegetables 250 grams 



sugar 17 grams 



wine and beer when possible. 



The rations of the Austrian army consist of: 



war bread (whole meal) 700 grams 



fresh meat 400 grams 



dehydrated vegetables 140 grams 



fat 20 grams 



coffee 4 grams
