Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book published in 1943 reveals the detailed strategies used by the US government to regulate the sale and storage of eggs during World War II. The book is set against the backdrop of war-time economics and provides a glimpse into the functioning of major government departments such as the Food Distribution Administration, the Army, and the Navy. At the heart of the book is the Food Distribution Order No.40, signed into effect in March 1943. The order mandated that all shell eggs in cold storage be set aside for governmental agencies, a move that set in motion a series of policy changes on egg production and storage. The order and its subsequent amendments discussed in the book provided exemptions for eggs stored for future drying operations, restricted shell-egg storage for civilians to 600 cases, and established quality control measures for eggs offered to government agencies. By examining the clauses of the order, their amendments, press releases issued by the War Food Administration, and insights from an assistant director, this book offers a thorough examination of how the US government utilized centralized planning to manage its food resources during wartime. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781390519167_0
