This article presents the author's experience of being director of the United Nations Appeal for Children. The author says that it had been his privilege to initiate this project as a member of the Norwegian delegation to the General Assembly in December, 1946. The author presents with information that the experts of three international organizations--the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund--agree that 230,000,000 children today have so little food, clothing, and care that those of them who do not die before teaching maturity can only grow up permanently stunted in body and mind.
