DODD Deputy Director -General: SIR HERBERT BROADLEY TF:r STATE OF FOOD !D AGRICULTURE-1943 A Survey of World Conditions and Prospects FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Washington, D. C., U.S.A. September 1948 FOREWORD HE STATE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE, 1948 has been prepared at the request of member governments as a basic document for the intergovernmental consultations on plans and programs at the Fourth Session of the FAO Conference in November; but it is also addressed to the general public. The world still suffers from a shortage of food, fibers, and forest products, even if the situation may become less acute in the current year.Hence, itis important to ascertain to what extent governments have programs which will put an end to scarcities within a reasonable time and go on to provide a more adequate level of supplies, par- ticularly in the low-incorne countries. From the information available to FAO, I am convinced of two things: first, much more is being done to expand production around the world than is generally realized (and another Conference document, National Pro g- ress in Food and Agriculture Programs, will illustrate this); second, what is being done, although so noteworthy, isfar from sufficient to make any significant improvement upon the low living standards of most peoples.

I PREFACE Ma]or Economic Changes in 1948 is the third of a series of reports dealing with world economic conditions, prepared by the Department of Economic Affairs of the United Nations. The first, Economic Report: Salient Features of the World Economic Situation 1945-47, was issued in January 1948; a supple- ment to that report, Selected World Economic Indices, was issued in July 1948. The purpose of the present publication is to make generally available a preliminary review of important economic developments which occurred during 1948. It is being issued at this time in order to provide the Economic and Social Council with a useful factual background for discussion of the current world economic situation at its eighth session in February 1949. A comprehensive economic survey of the world situation will be issued towards the middle of 1949. That survey will take account both of the regional economic reports which will become available during the early months of 1949 from the secre- tariats of the regional economic commissions of the United Nations in Europe, Latin America and the Far East, and of the economic activities of the specialized agencies. Part I of Major Economic Changes in 1948 provides a broad picture of the main economic develop- ments during the year 1948, based on data, necessarily incomplete for the year, which were available at the time the report was prepared.

Managing the Treasury Yield Curve in the 1940s Kenneth Garbade Federal Reserve Bank of New York Staff Reports, no. 913 February 2020 JEL classification: G28, H63, N22 Abstract This paper examines the efforts of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to first control, and later decontrol, the level and shape of the Treasury yield curve in the 1940s. The paper begins with a brief review of monetary policy in 1938 and a description of the period between September 1939 and December 1941, when the idea of maintaining a fixed yield curve first appeared. It then discusses the financing of U.S. participation in World War II and the experience with maintaining a fixed curve. The paper concludes with a discussion of how the FOMC regained control of monetary policy in the second half of the 1940s. The Committee’s efforts offer two lessons in yield curve management: (1) the shape of the curve cannot be fixed independently of the volatility of interest rates and debt management policies, and (2) large-scale open market operations may be required in the course of refixing, from time to time, the shape of the yield curve.
