BRITAIN'S NEW LOAF
Food Ministry's Tribute to Millers'
War Effort
Britain's new loaf, announced by
Mr. Robert Boothby, Parliamentary
Secretary to the Ministry of Food as
"a great advance on what has hither-
to been achieved by the country in
this field," is the result of four years'
patient scientific research by the
milling industry of Great Britain.
They set out to discover how to'
improve the food value of white flour
and bread and their investigations
showed that the best way was to in-
crease the amount of vitamin 8.1.
in dour. -
This vitamin is essential to good
health, particularly during times of
strain when there is a call on physi-
cal and mental effort,
British millers can now produce n
loaf. fortified with more vitamin B.1.,
which is no different in taste and ap-
pearance from the popular white loaf
of to -day. Tests carried out by them
in Britain's flour stills and 111 batter-
ies show that the bread has the full
amount of vitamin B,1., when deliv-

ish House of Commons, "a revolu-
tionary step from a nutritional point

they are not overstating their suc-

they have given 118 understate the.
truth.
Do yott remember what those lig-
m'es are? In seven days last weep,
our Roues brought down 570 Nazi
airc'raf't In Britain and around its
coasts. Of this total 377 were bomb-
ers, and with the aircraft Goering
lost 141111 of the pilots and expert

R. A. F. lost 111 fighter aircraft, but
66 pilots escaped by parachute and
regained their bases, Our loss in air-
men over Britain 30115 thus just 55. 111
machines we lost one to 57 lost by
Goering, in men we lost 1 to 18.
But to these losses we must add
he further loss of our raids against
he enemy. During these same 7
ays, we lost in bombing operations
n Germany, in German-occupied tend -
d
tory, in Italy, and in France, a total
of 31 machines, That involved the
loss of 130 of pilots and our trained
bomber crew.
Thus if we add up the total cost of
our operations both in defence and
attack it comes to 141 - aircraft
against the Nazi 570, with the loss of
186 personnel against the Nazi 1411o,

Would demoralize our pilots and their
courage as nothing else could do.
Faked official optimism is a most
foolish forst of Dutch courage, end
with a fighting force it brings swift
retribution in its tracks.
But it is not so certain that our
air ministry gives the Nazi losses
quite so fully. Indeed, it is not pos-
sible to know for certain what they
are. With modern aircraft the aerial
dogfights are so swift and sudden
that the turmoil of scores of simul-
taneous combat is so great that Dot
even the most experienced pilots can
always be certain when his enemy
has been destroyed. No victory is
counted unless the pilot is quite cer-
tain, and unless the evidence has
been checked and counter -checked.
Thus it is absolutely certain that
there are -many Germans who are not
counted but who never reach home.
And our air command shakes no 111-

course in all estimates of fighting it
is right to leave a liberal margin for
mistakes. That margin has been left,

patient scientific research by the
milling industry of Great Britain.
They set out to discover how to'
improve the food value of white flour

each of our evacuations they have
made us think that things were going
better than they really were. And I

they are not overstating their suc-

truth.
Do yott remember what those lig-
m'es are? In seven days last weep,
our Roues brought down 570 Nazi
airc'raf't In Britain and around its
coasts. Of this total 377 were bomb-
ers, and with the aircraft Goering
lost 141111 of the pilots and expert
view•, fn shooting theta down the
R. A. F. lost 111 fighter aircraft, but
66 pilots escaped by parachute and
regained their bases, Our loss in air-
men over Britain 30115 thus just 55. 111
machines we lost one to 57 lost by
Goering, in men we lost 1 to 18.
But to these losses we must add
he further loss of our raids against
he enemy. During these same 7
ays, we lost in bombing operations
n Germany, in German-occupied tend -
d
tory, in Italy, and in France, a total
of 31 machines, That involved the
loss of 130 of pilots and our trained
bomber crew.
Thus if we add up the total cost of
our operations both in defence and
attack it comes to 141 - aircraft
against the Nazi 570, with the loss of
186 personnel against the Nazi 1411o,
Otte to four in machines. 1 to 73:2 in

air ministry presents then to the

cause to )hide or understate them
Would demoralize our pilots and their
courage as nothing else could do.
Faked official optimism is a most
foolish forst of Dutch courage, end
with a fighting force it brings swift
retribution in its tracks.
But it is not so certain that our
air ministry gives the Nazi losses
quite so fully. Indeed, it is not pos-
sible to know for certain what they
are. With modern aircraft the aerial
dogfights are so swift and sudden
that the turmoil of scores of simul-
taneous combat is so great that Dot
even the most experienced pilots can
always be certain when his enemy
has been destroyed. No victory is
counted unless the pilot is quite cer-
tain, and unless the evidence has
been checked and counter -checked.
Thus it is absolutely certain that
there are -many Germans who are not
counted but who never reach home.
And our air command shakes no 111-
lowanoe for then] of any -kind. Of
course in all estimates of fighting it
is right to leave a liberal margin for
mistakes. That margin has been left,
if only on one side of the ledger, It
is a margin far wide' than truth.
