“The part I cannot understand is that if food is in short supply in the* world, how is money going to buy food that is not there.” This comment was made by the chairman, Cr D. Courtney, at a meeting of the Thames County Council, f when a circular letter was received asking for the council’s support in the United Nations’ Appeal for Children, a world-wide appeal for voluntary non-governmental contributions. “While I admit we should do everything possible to help hungry children, I cannot see, if I give a pound and you give a pound, that they will get any more. The world is today producing its maximum of food,” said Cr Courtney.
