From Table 80 it will be seen that Austria plans to make less use of 
cereals, meat, milk, butter, and eggs than she did before the war, sub- 
stituting potatoes and beans in their places. It is a question whether 
this can be done. The working man and the farmer are eating more 
meat than formerly and will continue to live better than they did 
before the war. Ii this tendency continues, the relative proportions 
of the different articles of food will be materially changed, and the 
change will modify upward the import requirements of meat and 
flour forecasted in the last column of Table 81. In this table for 
each period the first column gives the total internal consumption of 
the different articles of food, the next column the total internal pro- 
duction, while the fourth column gives amounts required to balance 
the deficit. Actual imports may have been more or less than indi- 
cated here. The third column shows the percentages of domestic 
production as compared with the total requirements.
