...Jews stay out of the army, or if they get in, they are given commissions-the President is a Jew-you can't get a defense contract unless you are a Jew-Jews own 80% of the nation's wealth-Jews got us into the war-the WPB is controlled by Jews...
Turning to the 1¼-billion-bushel wheat surplus as a source of alcohol is no remedy now. There are unsolved technical difficulties in the use of wheat: for instance, unlike corn, wheat does not now provide a valuable cattle feed as a by-product of its fermentation. WPB is studying the possibility of making alcohol from waste wood and even from waste sulfite liquor from paper mills. Farmers are begging to be relieved of the alcohol and rubber burdens,* praying for petroleum rubber to make its appearance, a complete reversal of their insistence a year ago on being included...

When war started WPB slapped a pile of restrictions on food-locker plants and equipment, forced prospective builders through at least six different agencies before they even sniffed a priority. Then out of nowhere came the rumor: food lockers were to blame for the meat shortage. Even the industry fell down: WPB ordered locker manufacturers to stop chiseling on steel...

The current curtailment to twenty per cent of the 1940 allotment has been recognized as a mistake by the WPB, and it is known, that the figure has been upped in practice to sixty per cent. Yet when all agricultural equipment amounts to only one-fiftieth of the nation's metal consumption surely Davis deserves more than an advisory voice in falling his needs...
