Orderly Disposal
With the War Food administration already feeding the government's excess stocks of food to civilian outlets without disrupting the markets, U. S. officials will make every effort to maintain orderly disposal of surpluses with the war's end, WFA distribution director Lee Marshall said.
"We must maintain specified war reserves no matter how favorable the war may be going," he said, "but I, for one, don't think it necessary to build a separate stockpile of the same foods for postwar relief feeding."
In disposing of surpluses, Marshall said, salable goods would first be offered to companies which furnished the government with the products. Others in the same business would be given second choice.
