measure—an integral part of the Na-
tional Farm Program—the Stamp
Plan is also making a vital contribu-
tion in building up the physical stren.
gth of our less fortunate people who
have been without steady employ,
ment for years.
"We have been jolted by reports
that more than 40 percent are fail-
ing the physical tests under the se-
lective military service program. We
cannot be complacent about a condi-
tion in which two out of five of our
young men are found to be below
par in health, particularly when they
are in the prime of life. Such men
cannet make their full contribution
to their jobs during this critical time
when increased production is so vital
to our total defense effort.
"Malnutrition is t< blame for much
of the physical defects we are wor-
ried about. l>ack of medical care and
other factors are in the picture, of
course, but it is certain that inade-
quate diet is ore of the fundamental
causes of a high percentage >f bad
health. Tests in England, where those
unfit for military service have been
built up successfully by a few mon-
ths of good fe *iing and care, defin-
itely prove this fact. They show that
it is possible to improve the health
of our people by an adequate diet.
