That seems to be an odd comment. The entire world was in a state of
deprivation. Yes, England was probably worse than the US, but there was
a lot of upheaval all over. Crops were difficult to plant and harvest
when many of our farmers were in the Pacific or Europe fighting a war
and the people left were sending what supplies we had to them.

You cannot judge the condition of a country with 136 million (in 2943)
people based on one house of officers.
