One year of reciprocal aid. Food is probably the most important contribution of Australia to the supplies of the U.S. armed forces stationed in the Pacific. She sent shiploads to our beleaguered men at Bataan and has increased her contributions as the size of our forces has grown. The U.S. ships practically no food to our troops in Australia and New Zealand. The Americans are supplied on the spot, and the space thus freed in our ships is used for tanks, planes and amunitions

One year of reciprocal aid. Australian sheep are producing wool for replacement uniforms for American soldiers and nurses, thus saving valuable shipping space for carrying munitions and supplies from the United States.
