Here Malayan na- tives, get their rations of rice, distributed by the relief organization. By Douglas Larsca While the desperate struggle goes on all over the world to feed starving millions this winter, UN- RRA "and the stricken countries are fighting just as desperately to grow a big enough crop for next winter's needs. And far beyond that, the Farm and Agricultural Organization is taking shape under its new Director-General, Sir John Orr. Not only did the war cause the present food crisis but its damage to the world's agriculture indus- try will be felt for years. The job of agricultural rehabilitation is staggering. UNRRA has already = shipped more than $69,000,000 worth of tractors, seeds, horses, mules, cows, and fertilizer into occupied coun- tries to help agricultural produc tion. Lack of funds has forced it to give up much of the agricultural rehabilitation program in lieu of supplying food directly. In addition UNRRA experts are trying to eliminate certain inséct pects which increased during the war an spread disease among cat- tle and crops. They plan to bring "in chickens to restock almost non- existant poultry stocks. England, Australia, Belgium, { 11! x 8 i = France and the other countries not aided by UNRRA are also strug- gling to patch up the war damage to their farming. Most of them re- port fair progress on long range planning but aren't too optimistic about next year's harvest. Stabilize Prices "Orr startled England in the ear- ly "twenties by claiming that a new kind of starvation was ravaging its people. It wasn't- starvation caus ed by hunger. It was caused by lack of vitamins. He correlated the high infant mortality rate in Eng- land with it. He demonstrated all kinds of other evil cifects, He led the fight in Britain for the beter distribution of vitamjns as well as bread. This is the essence of his plan for FAO. = So that the farmer will always get a fair price for his crop, Orr proposes a world wheat pool, When the market price goes be- low a certain figure, he says, "it should be bought by an interna- tional organization and kept in the pool for distribution when there is a need for it. He would have the same operation for the world rice market. A Briefly Told Story of the War Before the parade of heavy and 'scholarly histories of the recent world conflicts starts rolling off the presses, we should like to pre- sent a friend's succinct treatment of the same subject. For all its brevity and apparent simplicity we think it's good. And we offer it in the hope that it may save you a good deal of umnecessary reading. It's just this: "Germany, Italy, and Japan could not beat the United States, Great Britain, and Russia." YOU GET THE PEAK of coffee 'goodness in Max. well House.
