Food Relief: a Neglected Report

The article discusses food relief efforts. Even if other more controversial issues have been shoved aside, one might at least expect that on the issue of food relief, the United Nations would by this time have devised a clear-cut policy. It is certainly not a problem which can be shirked until the last minute. After the war is won and the armistice is declared, there will be millions of people in devastated areas all over the earth who, because the systems of agriculture and transportation have been disrupted, will either succumb to starvation or present an insuperable obstacle to any attempt to organize the peace. In this dismal dilemma more than one political strategist may discover the hope that by offering the masses food he can abolish the danger of riot and rebellion.
