§ 82. Mr. A. Edward Daviesasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster the respective rations in calories in the U.S. and British zones in Germany; what is being done to achieve parity; and whether there is any imminent danger to maintaining supplies consequent on the U.S. decision to take no further action on behalf of foreign purchasers in her markets.

Friend refers, which does not apply to grain, the only food we buy for Germany in the U.S.A.
