debate on food which will open
today, the retiring chief of his-
tory's greatest mission of mercy
cautioned yesterday that voluntary
food conservation measures alone
"no matter how energetically they
are pursued, are not enough."
He called for emphasis on "all-
out" food production, for less grain
for livestock and more for humans,
less for liquor and more for the
world's hungry millions, for a cam-
paign to "eliminate the garbage
pail as their competitor.”
But, meanwhile, delegates them-
selves acknowledged privately a
considerable measure of confusion
as to what should be done—and
how—to meet the problems ahead.
These were the chief problems
under consideration:
1. Whether UNRRA itself should
be extended—as advocated by Chi-
pa with support from several oth-
er countries—or its functions turn-
ed over to the United Nations or-
ganization.
2. An attempt to obtain a strong
er voice within the combined food
boards, which has control over al-
location of food supplies and upon
which sit representatives of the
United States, Britain and Canada.
Lehman has advocated increasing
its membership and urged inclu-
sion of Russia.
3. Efforts to persuade contri-
buting member nations to hustle
up their second contribution to
UNRRA’s kitty—amounting to one
percent of their national income
for the fiscal year of 1942.

OIL-PLATED engine
Motorists' Lesson I from World
War II is that cars with On-PLATED
engines don’t quit easy. Though
some are being traded for style's
sake now, you can safely figure that
the owners are repeating on OI-
Plated engines! They make sure to
get them—the same as you can do
—by using Conoco Nth motor oil,
with its added Oil Plating ingre-
dient. This acts magnet -like, forcing
engine parts to attract and hold a
close -bonded surfacing of lubricant.
And that's the great wear fighter
—protective Ou. Plating I
Like a shield over the fine finished
inner surfaces that you want pre-
served. Oil Plating is in position
against wear ... in position to dis-
courage carbon, gum, and sludge—
to encourage oil and gasoline econ-
omy. You want all that, and it's
yours for the asking. Just ask for
Conoco Nth oil in any car. In the
case of an older car, you certainly
need a Spring oil change now, so
this is exactly your time to OIL-
Plate. Pay just a bit more for it!
