FOOD FOR EUROPE
Sir,—“The Times,” in its weekly edition of February 20, reported under UNO and the Menace of Famine,” “The General Assembly . . . pledged its members to drastic action to conserve food supplies and avert, as far as possible, the perils of famine which threatens millions of people.” Mr KHall, speaking at a conference of Federated Farmers, viewed the case for increased production, and ended his speech by implying that politics were holding up production. As a member of the United Nations, New Zealand is pledged’ to UNO’s resolutions; therefore, how can the question of carrying out these resolutions be a matter of politics? Are UNO’s resolutions subservient to party politics? Surely the United Nations, pledged by their representatives to fulfil certain resolutions, must do sq, whatever party is in power? Can we honestly say that we are either conserving food or “averting famine”? I think not.— Yours, etc., GWENDOLINE S. L. JELLETT. June 10, 1946.
