“WORLD BANK OF FOOD”
PLAN FOR CONTROL OF FAMINE
(Rec. 10 p.m.) NEW YORK, June 15. The Director-General of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, Sir John Boyd Orr, proposed the establishment of an international “food bank,” when the present emergency is passed, for distributing one nation’s surpluses to another’s hungry peoples. “That is the only way that we can solve the twin problems of faihine and surplus,” he said. “It would mean holding over surpluses from one year to the next. If we solve the food problem and control the atom we will have some assurance of lasting peace.”
