Abstract
THE stress of totalitarian war has quickly revealed the fundamental instability of systems of livestock husbandry which are largely dependent upon supplies of imported feeding-stuffs. In an industrialized State, concerned to maintain a large export trade and with a large investment df capital in the less-developed regions of the world, it is inevitable that the national agricultural economy should provide for a considerable absorption of imported grain, oil-seeds and other primary produce. If this absorption has developed beyond the limits of security for war conditions, the blame, if blame there be, cannot be placed upon the farmer, since he has little option but to adjust his system of husbandry to the economic environment created by national and international policies.
