Agriculture Agriculture Secretary Wickard issued a statement that "to date we have been able to buy only half the amount of . cheese we wanted by the end of June (for lend-lease activities) and less than two-thirds of the amount of evaporated milk. The output has increased but we need more." Mr. Wickard said in creased prices for milk going into cheese and evaporated milk, sup ported by Government purchases, should yield farmers a higher re turn than any other dairy product. Speaking at Syracuse, N. Y., Mr. Wickard said the food situation in Europe is such that if the war con tinues for a long time the issue may finally be "who can feed the people, the democracies or the dic tatorships? Therefore food reserv es , .may .be more important than munitions reserves." Oil . President Roosevelt placed all petroleum products under export licensing control.
